Witcher's Women

But it doesn't change the fact that there is million of pictures, movies et al of women taking their clothes off in various situations, thus not making the trophy cards as unrealistic as you attempt to present them as. Or I'm failing to see where you are taking the issue with these images?

So yes, the situation is "different" because - well, one is a computer game in a fictive fantasy universe and the other is real life.
But that doesn't change the fact that the images in The Witcher are merely drawn "trophy cards" which aren't actually a part of the game itself, but are "unlocked" after a sexual encounter in which you see pretty much nothing.

I fail to see the "women do not do that in real life" argument and I actually start to fail to see the issue you are debating, because well... some do as some do in the game - and the game isn't real life and it isn't realistic in many aspects anyway.

Hhmmm... So these portraits aren't the ones you see when initiating dialogue with them?

No - as said - they are trophy cards you unlock after each sexual encounter (if you choose to pursue it)

Oh, sorry then. I thought those were the portraits used during dialogue and which showed up as trophy card after bedding them. Ok, then I don't see a problem in it.
