I have no issues with the sex cards as such, but in the game the sex scene are often at the stranges and dumbest times.
It breaks the tone and pacing of the story all the time, if they cut those it will make the game a lot better, in my opinion.
I thought the books were great, at least the Geralt short stories. The Netflix series tracks the books well, at least in the first season, so if you liked that, you'd probably like the books.
The main series has little to do with Geralt and I never bothered reading them.
I don't really like Geralt as a character, because most of the time he is a huge pile of 💩, a grim dark anti hero.
I liked to play Witcher 1 because of his lost memories he was a much nicer and reasonable character, unlike his self in Witcher 3 which I only played for maybe six hours and put then away.
I have seen 2 episodes of the series, no interest in seeing more.
I didn't care much for them back then, but I sure as fuck tried to bed every single of the ladies that could be!
I'd be sad if there were not as many romance options as the original! At the very least, Shani is bound to be more developed, I guess. That would be nice. I wish they had recognized it a bit more in TW3, but I guess they had no way to recover that from the save files :/ (unlike what they did with some of your choices from TW2)
