Comment by sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works on Avowed's Creators On Why Romance Was Considered, But Ultimately Not Included And Skyrim Comparisons

I have read the books, and while there are sexual themes, they’re not a huge part of the story. Basically, we know Geralt is a womanizer, but most of the stories have little, if anything, to do with that, it’s just part of the character development. The books are all about his adventures fighting monsters and resolving disputes.

Basically, Geralt is like James Bond, and James Bond games don’t include sexuality.

I don’t know much about BG3, hence why I kept to The Witcher (haven’t played 3, only 1&2), which I think would be better without the sexuality, since it’s not part of the main plot, or even a particularly interesting sub-plot. There are plenty of other games with bad/uninteresting romance.

I’m not against romance in games, I’m against bad romance.
