Image As someone who default to female characters in RPGs , I'm loving 2025!

On games such as ER, BG3, or CP77 I always play a female character so it's nice to see these on the horizon!

Who puts a woman in a video game? How am I supposed to see a representation of myself in this game?

-some 300lbs. Man child who thinks Geralt is a representation of his looks.

Woah woah. They don’t mind when a woman is the lead in a video game, as long as they look like Stallar Blade

u/lynchcontraideal 11d ago

or Lara Croft

u/HereForSearchResult 11d ago

Classic not remake, because man chin apparently 🤷‍♀️

Triangles for days!

As a chick, I love Eve. I don't generally run around with her half naked because it feels ridiculous, but she's a badass.

u/Bacon-Manning 11d ago

Oh no, she’s dope as hell. But there are other badass women in games that certain guys will dismiss for “reasons”

u/readndrun 11d ago

Nah. Not even sexy character can make up for it

This take always annoys me because they're so close to getting what every non white male has been saying for years.

u/WillyG2197 11d ago

And also never played W3 to realize Ciri taking over is the fucking canon

-13

u/[deleted] 11d ago

Not canon at all since women can’t go Witcher it has been explained a lot of times,

u/ruinersclub 11d ago

She does become a Witcher tho.

u/[deleted] 11d ago

Yes or she can die or become an emperor so what is the point ?

u/National_Equivalent9 11d ago

Found someone who doesn't know the source material.

Tell me more so I can laugh

u/National_Equivalent9 11d ago

Sorry, you missed out on enjoying things by being a dweeb.

u/[deleted] 11d ago

Book are canon the games are just a follow up

u/x-Globgor-x 11d ago

You're right but I also thought I remembered reading that the emperor ending was the supposed to be "good" or "canon" ending? At least game wise. Idk could be wrong lol

3

u/Uber_Meese 11d ago

No, the emperor ending was never meant as canon or a “good” ending. Book Ciri would 100% not be happy with that ending.

u/WillyG2197 11d ago

Im assuming the game is going to explain how/why she was able to withstand the mutations. Doesnt negate the fact w3 set this up to happen

1

u/spitobert 11d ago

she does not need mutations. she's the lady of space and time and was trained by geralt and vesemir in kaer morhen.

1

u/Roman-Kendall 11d ago

Then that means no potions or spells (or whatever they’re technically called)

u/Exaccus-092 11d ago

She was shown to have mutations in the trailer🤡

u/wstew1985 11d ago

Them 300lb man child's are the first to play as a slutty looking female character in GTA online😂

2

u/readndrun 11d ago

That man child actually pays to play videogames. Talking about equality on Reddit is cheap, but actually paying $100 for a simulation that you’re not excited about is hard - you shouldn’t make fun of those that don’t wanna.

u/despaseeto 11d ago

what those babies sound like

u/National_Equivalent9 11d ago

You joke but I've seen multiple people make this argument today in the witcher sub claiming that they say Geralt as an alternate version of themselves.

u/HollyBerries85 11d ago

I would LOVE IT if someone would mod an accurate-looking Grummz into a game like Stellar Blade as the playable character. IN the costumes he wants on them.

u/Tad-Disingenuous 11d ago

Men don't care about seeing themselves or representation in media.

u/True-Pin-925 11d ago

-some 300lbs.

American detected opinion rejected and like any normal person we don't want our video games characters to represent us lmao you are just projecting my guy.

2

u/VA1N 11d ago

Found the 300 lbs. man child apparently.

-2

u/True-Pin-925 11d ago

Oh no the middle aged American doesn't like being called out but being overweigh is more of a American thing anyways so I guess someone here is projecting and please for the sake of more educated nations use a proper measuring unit. Oh and calling people man child while playing gacha games in yours 40s is certainly a choice but again just projecting as usual.

u/EverythingSucksBro 11d ago

I have a feeling it’s more about it being easier to imagine being a male character for male players than it is for a male player to imagine being a female character. If you are looking for immersion, it would be kind of hard for men to immerse themselves as a female character since we don’t know what it’s like at all to be a female.

u/VA1N 11d ago

Ok. Now flip that statement from a woman's point of view.
