why cant i play a black guy either this is rasism
It's true to some extent, although I'd replace 'lazy' with 'most natural' . Female witchers would be rather controversial, tho, they were in the movie and werent well received (to put it mildly, movie was shitty for other reasons, tho). There are no female witchers, just like there are no male amazons.SuicideBunny said:geralt was mostly a lazy choice from a design perspective, and one to score extra brownie points with poland and russia, as far as i can tell.
game could work just as well with a customizable character, including gender.

People these days have the wrong idea of an RPG. They think RPGs are games that let you create and dress up your character like a Barbie Doll. What happens to your character after that, and choices & consequences don't matter shit to these people.

Well, except that according to the books, there were no female witchers. Ever (well, with the exception of princess Ciri, who underwent partial witcher training in the books, but not any of the mutations).
However, what I was trying to say is that if they wanted to provide a female witcher, they probably could.

There are many powerful male sorcerers in The Witcher books, including Vilgefortz, one of the main villains.

They would have to face the rage of Sapkowski's fans, just like makers of a LotR game would if they provided a female Aragorn or Frodo. By the way, the Witcher movie and TV series had a female witcher, but they were pretty awful adaptations (btw, there is a version of the series with English subs on torrent sites, and a DVD version of the movie with subs available on Amazon, but I strongly discourage downloading or buying it. It's not worth your bandwidth, let alone money).
He's dead by the time of the game, though. And Ciri eventually becomes even more powerful than he is.
