Strange, I have over 150 games installed right now and all work with steam, although I have not tried NWN.

Yeah, a female Witcher would completely beak the story.

let me know if you can get it to work with nwn

We will have to agree to disagree - it's a game . . . nothing more . . . =)

Well the author of the books probably still has to agree to such changes.

I would also think the author would have to agree. Still a bad arse female Witcher would be a great twist to the story and my Lady could play to her hearts content . . . =)

I'm thinking a female Witcher would look awesome as well . . . ; )

Edit: Add LAN capability where my woman and I could go out Witchering together and she and I both would be happy . . . =)

I hang my head in shame and admit that I haven't been paying attention lately.

There been any announcement of a collectors edition of TW2 retail?

Also, is a console release just postponed or officially scrapped?

And knowing the author of the novel, he would not agree to such a thing at all. If I remember correctly, people who have met him have said he's a drunken womanizer.
I think they've scrapped remaking the original for consoles now, but from what I've heard the second game is made in a way that would be equally friendly to consoles and PCs alike. There are rumors that The Witcher 2 is all but confirmed for consoles.

He probably would not if he's like you say. It was just something I would like to see since she won't play it as a male character. Probably lots of other ladies that would enjoy the game if there was a female character . . . just saying . . . =)

I haven't read the books, so i'm not sure but there could also be lore-related reasons why there are no female witchers, so he'd have to retcon that first (and retcons are rarely popular with the core audience).

Oh yeah, if they could make it work it would be neat. That being said, it would have to be a completely different character; it couldn't be Female Geralt.

I absolutely agree, there is ONLY one Geralt and he is a male. I would like to see an awesome female character with her own story which would add another dimension to the game and allow women gamers to play as a woman. . . =)

Add LAN / Spawn and I'm all in . . =D

I have not read the books either but I would assume the transformation is so brutal that few women survive but . . . those that do would be exceptional Witchers. Would they have powers unique to female Witchers?

Edit: sorry for the double post

Now, now, you're not helping the idea that women would be able to be Witchers by essentially calling them innately weak.

I (also not having read the books) would assume that the reason there are no female Witchers is (lore wise; sexism also probably plays a role) that the story is set in a medieval type world where women are seen as inferior and not allowed to do as much stuff as men. With the exception of a few important women (like the elven woman who leads the Scoia'tael in the game, or Triss) women don't play a huge role in the world. Another reason might be that Witchers are men to offset the fact that all of the Sorceress' Guild are women.

Personally I would love to see a female Witcher, obviously not simply replacing Geralt, he is an already defined character, and so the current state of the series wouldn't really allow it. But I would really welcome a more open RPG set in the world of the Witcher but allowing for more choices, more exploration, etc.
