Geralt's sexual pursuits are easily a shoe-in for 'most improved' between The Witcher of 2007 and The Wild Hunt of 2015.

When I first played The Witcher in 2015 it was already laughably dated. Compared to The Witcher 3, which I was preparing to play on its launch day, The Witcher was a relic of the past, with naturally less detailed character models, a frustratingly capricious interface, and interesting but clunky combat. The most dated aspect of all, though was its approach to sexuality.

For my part, it's hard not to turn these romance cards into a game of"gotta catch 'em all." They may reduce every woman in the game to a novelty item but as a player I can't deny how, just like every other kind of collectible, I immensely enjoy digging through a wiki to make sure I'm doing each quest properly. I don't want to miss one.

The real marquee romance of Assassin of Kings is with Triss, who gets an entirely bespoke and spicy sex scene in an underground bath. The second Witcher game attempts to set Geralt's relationship with the redheaded sorceress above the rest, though it's hard to buy into the narrative or emotional significance of Triss's romance when the other"romances" are largely treated as completely throwaway.
