It's a puzzle in HuniePop, and it's genius. Basically, you're frantically matching shapes on a grid to create a chain reaction of collapsing tiles symbolic of your lady partner's pleasure. If you fail and lose momentum, you can just keep trying... but it's awkward. So you keep your head down and work at it, with no time to gaze upon the erotic image of your lover presented alongside the puzzle. Really captures a particular type of sexual encounter.veloper said:How do you even make good gameplay out of it? Could be because I'm being very uncreative atm, but I can't envision it as a puzzle or a shooter or an RTS for example.

Oh man, and people honestly try to convince me he isn't a wish fulfillment Mary Sue character.
Adam Jensen said:I don't really care one way or the other. If it makes sense to have sex in the game then it's fine. I just want it to be done well, which is true for every aspect of the game. But I wouldn't care it if it wasn't a part of the game at all.
Aside from pheromones, which I think is a lousy excuse, everybody loves a good fuck without consequences. Especially if you've got nothing better to do like so many village girls in a medieval setting. Witchers also have a reputation for being great in bed, they're sterile and immune to disease so there are no potential downsides.Ezekiel said:I don't get why all those incredibly sexy women even fall for this stoic, emotionless mutant.

Well I tried. The reason is because I wrote this at 5 in the morning because of another thread about sex games, and wrote that tl;dr as the best witty conclusion I could come up with, so I could go to sleep. To rephrase that for better or for worse, I wouldn't call a sex scene mature to justify its existence, at the end of the day it's "high-brow pornography" or something.CaitSeith said:Why isn't there an "all of above" option? And why are the title, the poll and the OP content not related with each other? Before saying sex itself isn't mature, you should research examples of movies and literature that handle sex in a mature manner.
Well, the best kind of sex scene is the one that fits the best to the narrative. The real problem with games is that developers aren't good at representing it as something meaningful (or even visually appealing when using 3D models). So while they manage to pull the authenticity of sex correctly, I think something indirect (more implied than exposed) will be better.A Fork said:Thanks everyone for the input.

The reason there isn't an "all of the above" option, is because if I included it, I thought everyone would choose that option. I think we would all like to see a hardcore AAA sex scene for the novelty of it, if it doesn't already exist. Also everyone would see that option and go "choosing one is hard, you know, I can watch all of them" which doesn't tell me anything. What I wanted to know what kind of sex did people most prefer, what were they comfortable with, or what did they consider optimal for enjoyment. Might have been a bad idea, I thought it was a great idea.
I've read a number of the books as well as played the games and this is the first I'm hearing about some sort of Witcher pheromone thing. The wiki also mentions nothing of the sort.DoPo said:Wait, somebody seriously said that?

So, it's a strong male who is all muscly, is really good at fighting, knows magic, but is (almost) emotionless also happens to have a no nonsense attitude, gets laid all the time with women and apparently he's pretty much a chick magnet. But he isn't, at all, a wish fulfillment. Sure...yeah.
Alma Mare said:Was it really pheromones? I always thought it was that little bit of magic that witchers have worked as some sort of aphrodisiac for witches (which explains why Geralt is so popular with them). Triss only seems to react from physical touch, not proximity (which would possibly imply hormones).Ezekiel said:Pheromones, consequence of the trial of the grasses. The books are very explicit on this, apparantly Eskel is even worse (better?) than Geralt in that regard. That combined with their sterility and overdrived testosterone makes them a jealous husband' worst nightmare. The books stablished that accounts for a lot of the hate most peasants default to when they see a Witcher approach.CritialGaming said:Ezekiel said:I wonder what people would think of a female witcher who has as much promiscuous sex as Geralt in TW2.

Oh, I wouldn't actually think he is a Mary (or Marty) Stu. He does happen to have way more agency than them for one and actual flaws. He can still be portrayed as wish fulfilment, though. At least by the games - I've not read the books.The Madman said:Incidentally if you want I can go into why I don't consider Geralt a 'Mary Sue', but perhaps that's better left for another thread if you're genuinely interested.

I agree with most of what you said, but there is clearly something in witchers that witches find attractive instinctively, or atleast Triss does. In the book Blood of the Elves Triss avoids one of the witchers (can't remember his name, Co?n, Lambert?), but she senses that, whatever Geralt has that gives her this wonderful feeling, this other witcher has a lot more of it, and Triss doesn't want to ruin this special thing she and Geralt may have.The Madman said:Wait, what?

Triss has a thing for Geralt because, as childish as it seems, she's envious of Geralts relationship with her bf Yennefer, something she's never had. As for why Geralt would have a thing for Yennefer and other sorceress, it's because they're similarly sterile and long lived in the Witcher setting giving both something to commiserate over. Also he just likes Yennefer, and through her was introduced to a number of other sorceress who regard him as a bit of a novelty.
No magical aphrodisiacs or drugs or anything of the sort.
