The very small minority group "Homosexual" have been putting heat on game companies to release there games with "Gay Relationships" and other pro gay changes in there games..Is this something Witcher series will be plagued with ?

Ive seen posts like this on websites like gamespot

"I would think it's a bit homophobic to force gay and bi players to sleep with women in-game..
I really hope they're going to add those or at least make the choice of Geralt's sexual orientation possible at the beginning, maybe"

...

Can we expect this minority to gain there request ?..i hope not..

While I don't think gay communities are 'putting heat' on game companies for homosexual relationships in games, it's just game companies being more inclusive to their customer base, it's not something I can really see happening in the Witcher. Simply because Geralt has an established character from the books, and he is most definitely straight. I am all for gay relationships in games, but there's certain situations where it wont work. If they created a Witcher game that had a brand new Witcher that wasn't Geralt, yeah, I'd hope that you could sleep with some men if you wanted to.

I highly doubt CDPR would ever do that. They have tried to stay true to Sapkowski's lore and Geralt as a character, this option wouldn't suit Geralt at all. They might as well make a customizable character, because there are women who don't play male characters, not having that option is sexist... not being able to create characters with different skin color is racist, etc....

Geralt is a character set in stone.

Why should they need to cater for such a small minority and change a character ? If they allow that small minority what about all the others ?? Its a huge debate on the bioware forums as we speak with alot of valid reasons why it shouldnt or should have..

Geralt isn't gay in the video games. Stop whining like a little girl about something that isn't an issue.

I think it's a pretty stupid option, to be honest, and I have absolutely nothing against gay people nor am I even remotely homophobic.

Virtually all the options you can take in The Witcher 2 are reasonable under Geralt's personality. He's not even CLOSE to gay, why waste development time fucking around with something that would never be?

for the record im not complaining im starting a debate on a forum ? ... to discuss it :)


Why are gays even requesting games built in hedrosexual environments be changed just to cater them should be the question.. and what seperates there small group from other minority groups ?

I would assume that The Witcher series will not have this become available. Since the character is (and has been) an established one, allowing player choice of his sexuality is something that I don't think is going to happen.

If (and this is something I would really love) The Witcher series (obviously it wouldn't be Geralt's story, but perhaps the story of any Witcher) was expanded to allow for real character customization (even something along the lines of Shepard in the Mass Effect series) and creation of a player's own character then yes, I think gay and lesbian romances/sexual partners should be available (though not in the way that DA2 did it, making everyone bi/attracted to the PC no matter the gender).

And what about the masturbation and bestiality groups? What if they get their way??

What I just said was stupid, but no less stupid than this thread. I can't tell if the OP is trying to be funny, offensive, or just balls-to-the-wall ignorant.

The negative rep isn't the tiniest little clue?

they play Japanese games :O dur

This. It sounds like OP is trollin'.

OMG GUISE witcher should have more naked gay dwarf orgies!

im being serious.. i dont think its right that people need to change there art to cater for such a small minority when its not needed..

but thats a good point 227 that has been made on biowares forum... what seperates 1 sexual preference from another ? and why does 1 group need to be catered for and not the other ?

its a debate in alot of places with interesting points both sides..has anyone seen the bioware debate ??..

Yeah because my sexuality is so important, game developers must appease my sexual needs. Pixels in games must abide by my sexual orientation!

I demand this! Do it now! Me angry!
