Video: The Witcher Teaches Us How to Chat Up a Dryad

I had high hopes for The Witcher, a Polish videogame based on a series of fantasy novels. It was obviously a labor of love for its producers, who could be found lurking outside the press room at E3, too poor to afford a proper booth. And some PC role-playing game fans have found it to be quite a game, I’ve heard.

But there’s no way to watch this small, vaguely NSFW clip from the game, where the eponymous hero seduces a mystical forest sprite by lauding the health benefits of casual sex, culminating in the award of a collect-’em-all pin-up card emblazoned with a seductive painting of his conquest, without weeping a little bit for the still-nascent sexual maturity of not just game players, but many game designers.

On the other hand: green boobs.

    “Somewhat Witchier than I expected” always makes me laugh.

    Ummm, this isn’t “vaguely” NSFW. It’s completely, totally, naked-dryadically NSFW :-)

    She also appears in this month’s Playboy’s annual “Women of Video Games” pictorial.

    That pickup line always works on those rascally green women.

  7. Krisjohn says:

    That was so thoroughly appalling I don’t know where to begin.

    The voice acting, the lip sync, the dialogue in general, the mindless repetitiveness of the environment, the roaming critter bumping the player in the middle of the conversation, the conquest photo, the fact that the cheap whore will do it all for a single pelt.

    And the main character is sterile?
