Not everyone has the time to be constantly making posts in this forum. There are plenty of other newbies who have made a single post over the last few days. It hasn't even been 24 hours yet.

And youve yet to explain why thats a negative.

In this context, I was observing that he criticised Bioware for being "softcore porn", and yet he feels that this is fine. And that Witcher is fine. I seriously don't understand what he means by "softcore porn".

I can only speak for myself but i find it offensive that they are so bad.

I never argued that Bioware games are perfect. He complained that Bioware games had too much sex. Do you agree?

Sex, particularly in the first game, was treated as a conquest. Geralt would find an attractive woman, pursue her until he achieved "sex", win a sexy "romance card" as a trophy and then would move on to the next conquest. You'll notice that this feature was removed in the Witcher 3. He still has sex. He still likes sex, but it's treated more maturely.

If you'll observe his sexual relationship with Yennefer, they have sex at multiple stages of the story -- including a point where she asks you for sex without any prompting from the player and gets grumpy if you refuse. She is treated as sexually interested and sexually equal. This is different from the first 2 games. This depiction is actually even more progressive than Bioware games (where you basically always have to initiate the sex).

You are entitled to your opinion but an opinion is not an argument.

Agreed. It wasn't intended to be anything more than an opinion. But I'm confident that more than a few people will share this opinion.

I agree that dwarves are boring. I would prefer to get rid of them. Glad we can agree on that. Maybe we could have playable orcs instead?

Actually id call that creative, its a nice way for throwing off the audience.

As long as you're the kind of person who falls over and then shouts, "I did that on purpose!"

No one seriously believes that they deliberately made elves ugly and overly sexual. This is not the kind of subversion we've seen from Larian.
