People have the right to be sexist. Just as they have the right to be racist, homophobic etc. Just leave them to it.

Erm... no. There is no such right; on contrary, that goes explicitly against international law and most (if not all) constitutions.

Mind me, I'm at least as sick as you at this "sexism in games" bs, but that correction had to be made.
I'm tired of it because I simply don't find anything sexist in (most) things and all those people ranting are usually as close minded and restrictive as the "far right" groups are, and they are blatantly not fighting for equality (which they already have in Western Society, period) but for privileges.

That said, staying on topic, @BeatriceElysia I know that sometimes playing RPGs as the opposite sex is kinda awkward, still if the character is already weel defined I don't mind it at all.
One thing is playing a silent protagonist which you should personally identify with, but most of those games have male/female selection.
In the case of Geralt, you have already a solid character you play as, but you are... how can I say it... you are not roleplaying as yourself but as if you were him. What Geralt would do rather than what you would do, imo, so i doubt there would be any problem in that regard.

Are you sure? I personally don't recall any laws conserning what people should think and feel. There are only laws about discrimination that tell you can't hire staff or beat people based on your attitude, but (at least for now) there is no law that penalize you for just thinking.

Personally, I don't consider preferences of media with female or male protagonists to be sexism. But some people do.

One guy got into problems because he refused to accomodate homosexual pair in his apartment business, right here in Europe.

You can think all you want, but must behave otherwise.

Well there should be. Telling people how they should think, say or feel is wrong, even if you don't like it. Say what you like, think what you. Anyone who disagrees with that is a sheep, fascist and a disgrace.

The question is not if you want to get Witcher 3, the question is if you have the time. It's very long, very deep and very good. It's like being trapped in a chasm. Seriously, do it if you have the time, lest it is proven to be too poignant. Luckily, I suffered pneumonia coincidentally as I got my hands on the game. If you spend less than 30-45 minutes a day, then you won't have time to finish it before Cyberpunk releases.

Sigh, here we go again. It seems there is need of yet another lesson on the ABC of law.

Having the right to be sexist, homophobic etc. means having official tutelage of its expression in any form, meaning you could actually actively be sexist, racist and so on even beyond words. So, no, there is NOT a right such as that and there definitely should NOT be.
If you don't recall the laws read the first articles of the Human Right treaty or basically any European constitution. I could cite mine, article 3. You get what I said by reading "the negative" of said article: what is positively stated there means the impossibility of the contrary, as a basic logic process demands. It's rationality 1-0-1.

Also, Darthspudius, based on what you are saying, if you critiqued anyone for telling you how to think, or demanding others to stop thinking they should stop you from thinking as you please, you would be telling them how to think. Vicious circle, not to mention clear contradiction.

Also, for all the keyboard lions here, "freedom of speech" does not mean "having the right to say whatever the Hell passes on my mind regardless of context and consequences", but "having freedom to express an informed opinion on a topic based on solid facts", so you have to anchor what you say to something concrete; all the rest is, as the poets say, made up crap.
Yes, words and thoughts can be harmful when expressed. If a prominent figure or a good chunk of pupolation stated publicly it would be right to lynch a minority, some people with less self control would feel righteously moved to act towards self-made justice. Anyone who attended even a single history class in primary school should realize that, as this is a mistake that has been repeating itself since the dawn of civilization, and you just need a newspaper to prove it, no need for study degrees.

I cannot tolerate the plague of ignorance, and all ignorant statements must be silenced. A crusade lost at the start on the Internet, but still.
That kind of self-proclaimed and false “freedom” is just dangerous chaos, and rules such as those you see as disgrace are there to avoid humans to eat themselves for breakfast.
If you find that so fascist I recommend you to research the meaning of the word.

There is a difference between critisism and a law that tells you to comply with such critisism.
And there is a difference between iniciting violence towards minority and expressing attitude towards that minority.

Don't twist my words. Do you think I am stupid? Because if you really believe that is a sensible reply, you must also think I am fairly stupid.

Racism and all those nasty things that finish with -ism are not criticism, but unfounded prejudice by definition.
Claiming to have a right protecting them is objectively wrong from a logical standpoint full stop. I won't hear more asinine nonsese about that, just use a vocabulary for decency's sake!

"Expressing attitudes towards minorities" incites violence. "Expressing attitudes towards minorities" in this context is just sugar coating for "blatant discrimination". The everyday stories of racism speak for me. Again, your "points" are ridicule to say the least. I alredy dignified them too much by calling them "points", actually.

Anyway, I knew from the start that reason is not welcome on the boards and everything I said would have fallen on deaf ears, so I'm not without a little fault.
I'll leave you all to your pool of ignorance, have fun beating each others; "alt-righters" may accuse me of STEALING MAH FREEDOM OF SPEECH and SJWs that I am too prejudiced and intolerant for their standards.
Go on, inflame and destroy.

There is plenty of humor. The world is grim-dark, but CDPR definitely let you get some good humorous moments... Unless the idea that a man might chase after and be spurned by multiple women is actually offensive to you. Hell, I knew a few guy who were essentially Dandelion in my Navy career.

So, I bought TW3. Next day TW3 cost full 1Euro more. Not overly expensive, but significant for me.

Are you sure about this? I could swear, I've seen youtube clips where the importing works. But maybe I'm wrong.

There's apparently a known bug with import involving Letho that I didn't know about going in.

I've been struggling to find a combination of console commands that will fix it, and tech support can't do anything about it.
For the most part I just gave up on TW3, but that story would have been different if I had been smart and just done the simulated storyboard.
