My lady friend doesn’t want to play anything that makes her play as a dude if she can avoid it. She does sometimes but she has a strong preference for games featuring female protagonists. She did enjoy playing as Geralt though
What the Witcher games do really well is having female protagonists but not necessarily a female playable character. All the Witcher games aren’t about Geralt per se, but about Triss, Yenneffer, Shani, Adda, etc. but most importantly Cirilla, she’s the pivot point of all the games. Geralt is essentially just a vessel for the player to guide us through a world that is much bigger than him filled with drawn out characters of which most important ones happen to be women.
Real talk:
Representation matters.
