Witcher 3 - The women actually look like women.

[luzarius]

I checked out Witcher 3, the women actually look like women. You don't know how pleased I am. Bioware needs to learn from CDProjectRED. 

 

Let's compare:

 

Triss looks like a woman, Cassandra Pentaghast looks like a man.
Ciri is simply gorgeous, Sera looks like gollum.
Yennefer's beauty captures the imagination, Josephine's face is terrifying.

[HoonDing]

Yennefer & Cirilla beautiful, all the rest are potatoface.

 

EDIT: lol

Seriously? Which ones don't you like? I'm curious.

[Hurlshort]

Ah the internet, where obsessing over the looks of digital women is perfectly acceptable.  

[HoonDing]

It's the most inclusive game in the market right now.

Many beautiful powerful women while the ugly peasant ones get face-slammed.

How is the gameplay though?

srsly though, Gwent is fun.

 

CDPR should've just made a card game with b00bies.

[Keyrock]

Just pretend I'm not here.  Continue.

Ah the internet, where obsessing over the looks of digital men is perfectly acceptable but the obsessing over the looks of digital women usually ends up in judgement and shaming. LMAO

[Starwars]

Ah the internet... where on can read the wisdom of Volourn.

I haven't played any Witcher games, but I just googled those names with "Witcher 3" and I've gotta say, I think they're straight into the uncanny valley. Creep me the hell out.

I could swear that in the first Witcher they used the same model for every woman. Suppose they must have been short on game assets, or something like that.

I sometimes wonder if luzarius is aware that a substantial proportion of the internet, broadcast and cable TV, the advertising industry, and the print publishing business is devoted to little other than allowing the public to look at women who meet a mainstream standard of beauty.  His (I'm playing the odds on gender here) single-minded devotion to finding the same a in very specific entertainment field is ... odd.

Not true!  Some of them were hunchbacked old crones!

So the Witcher is still a roll playing game.

Off the top of my head I think they had 4, important NPCs had their own. Smaller studio at that time, no ?

Google Witcher cards and you will see artistic drawings of women in Witcher one. As you can see there is a diverse variety of women displayed.  Yes, the 3D models could've been better, they could always be better, but if you supplement it with a beautiful 2D drawing, that's good too.  Pillars of Eternity took this approach, for example the 3D models don't need to be that great, but they still give us 2D portraits to look at.

 

Go look at images of beautiful women who wake up in the morning with no make up, then check them out with make up.  Without make up, they are the most common looking women. What separates hot women from plain women is an artistic ability to hide imperfections through make up.  These women know there is power in beauty and they take full advantage of it.

 

Humans have a natural yearning to achieve perfection. It should never be discouraged.  The ones who don't seek it, are simply lazy.

 

There is diversity in Witcher One.

Devs can make ugly women (or whoever) if they want. What's the problem exactly?

 

It's exactly the attitude of the crazy social justice types who think if you're not doing it their way than it is a problem.

Ah the internet, where obsessing over the looks of digital women is perfectly acceptable.  

 

At least its obsessing over the looks of a digital women in a digital media.  Its not like anyone does it in real life.

 

Ah the internet... where on can read the wisdom of Volourn.

I've expected more screenshots in this thread.

Given that its a luzarius thread, I expected diagrams showing how Cassandra's face maps to a "mans" skull.

Western women beauty standard vs Polish women beauty standard thread.

That's fine, I got a refund for DAI. They lost $59.99.

 

Right now the people at Bioware are regretting every decision they made as they watch the success of Witcher 3 cast a vast shadow over little, itty, bitty DAI and all it's mannish, ugly women.  Skyrim completely destroyed DAI in sales, now Witcher 3 will completely destroy Inquisition in sales.

 

What does Skyrim & Witcher series have in common? Beautiful women and/or the ability to allow the creation of beautiful women.

 

It just goes to show, making women look like men and lecturing gamers on transgenderism hurts sales. 

 

HEY BIOWARE, don't give in to political correct LGBT and feminists. Go to Anita Sark and beg for your balls back, she keeps them in a jar on her shelf at her desk.

How old are you? Women in DAI look perfectly fine. 

[Hurlshort]

So Luzarius is the second poster I've seen this week that seems to think DA:I was some sort of sales disaster.  

 

 

Who cares about actual numbers, I returned my copy so clearly the game was a complete failure!

Final objective for realism: women have to use 5 dimensional logic.
