ROFL I guess these dudes want to live a power fantasy through Geralt instead of accepting the natural next step; since they are following the Witcher Books for the most part, Ciri was bound to be the lead character. I feel the Witcher 4 will be an excellent game, there’s interesting ground to cover with Ciri. The only bad thing will be if there is no first person mode, as I tend to avoid games with women as leads…I like to look at men from behind, not ladies. I hope the art team chose a design that doesn’t try to make her into a thirst trap (as that low-key makes me not want to play games with female leads).
ROFL Never, good looking male butts are so rare in video games… I could never do that to Astarion, as I don’t find it particularly overwhelming. I see so many guys that have occasionally well-defined cheeks in pants, it’s a feature, not a bug. This was a Kinsey Scale 2 guy who was way too uncomfortable with how often his eyes drifted to Asatrion’s rear, as that digital man has a whole bakery.
That’s why drag personally believes all RPGs with character customisation should have gender selection unless there’s a very good reason why not. The one good exception drag has seen is Pentiment - in that game you’re a mediaeval writer who hangs out with the monks at the Abbey. That story can’t be authentic with a woman player character. But that’s a very rare situation. Even games with named main characters can have gender select. Look at Prey and Mass Effect. It’s an accessibility feature.
In first person, there is no issue playing a female lead for me. I just have an issue with the common thirst trap design which has been a default design choice in games. As a gay dude, I find that sort of objectification is gross (the same is true for lead men in games. Except in the games that’s the point).
Especially when the camera does that pan to that lady lead’s ass in third person…Its not the vibe I seek when playing a game. 🙃
Any game with a leading lady that is serving cunt without the objectification I can easily play. Bayonetta is an example of one such game, she’s a force of nature, it feels as if she has a strong sense of agency. She’s not been made just for the male gaze.

i promise you’ll be able to trace her ass crack through her jeans
Thong customization.
If I can’t have stripes or polka dots this game is not worth it.
hurls a little in my mouth ROFL I hope not.
Wait, so are you the one who did this?

Maybe I spend too much time here because I knew what that was before I clicked it
I’m the exact opposite, but nothing wrong with your preference.
Hope you didn’t skip tomb raider
I 100% did, as the weird torture porn-esque deaths bothered me. I could’ve played if that questionable design choice wasn’t made…
Got ‘The last revelation’ as a gift, those puzzle solving frustrations are etched deep down. Still far from the worsts.
I have a friend that’s the same. She refuses ro play witcher 3 because you cant pick a female character.
I think it’s ridiculous.
This is understandable if someone has a strong gender identity. Most people don’t have much of a gender so it’s less important to them.
Could also be about your conception of what you’re doing in a game - are you being the character, or controlling them

Been meaning to try pentiment, is it any good?
Yes.

I thought this was going to say something about looking inward or something. Like being inspired to be the best self you can.
That’s on me.
