Yes, it depends on definition of mature, however if you consistently focuses on the sexual content and the few reference to dwarf anatomy as the "mature content", then you are intentionally bypassing a large part of the games story which involves racial tensions to a degree not usually depicted in a RPG, drug abuse and other such elements which exists an-mass.

...and I expect that the same people who enjoy The Witcher are the same people who are responsible for making shows like Jackass popular.
Well, this is completely wrong and just completely invalidates your entire post.
I care less about Jackass, I do not care much about "lewd" humour etc, yet I throughouly enjoyed The Witcher. What is your explanation for that?

You focus on one minor aspect of the game, claiming it is "as if" it is the majority and the game is made by "high school virgin D&D players". I'm sorry, but what constructive elements you attempted to present are completely lost in my book by your attempts at veiled generalized personal attacks.
So if you want us to take you serious, you'd do well to return that courtesy.

Great gameplay should not be sacrified for a great story, and vice versa. Even with the "mature" argument aside, clunky controls, unrecognizable inventory icons, simplistic combat, long loading times, long cutscenes, butchered dialogue, and a non-interactive world are ALL elements that negatively contribute to anyone's enjoyment of the game.
No - doens't contribute negative to anyones enjoyment ... it does to your enjoyment
As have been said prior - inventory icons are not "unrecognizable" to me, after I have played the game for a while. Simplistic combat - heck most combat in any RPG is simplistic. Click this enemy, click this ability. That they simply choose another route does not mean the game is automatically bad.
Long loading is a problem yes, but waiting 10-20 seconds does not mean the end of the world for everybody. Long cutscenes which you can skip, unlike in many other games, and which to me are actually quite interesting is also not a negative factor.....

So please do yourself a favour, speak only for yourself, no masked attempts at personal attacks by derogatory putting down an entire playerbase and if you want to judge the games "mature" content on your preconceived notions of the developers or your sole focus on sexual content then please be prepared to conscider the rebuttals.
