Sex & Nudity

  • This game only is severe if you make it that way. The developers added multiple options to bypass scenes of sexual content/nudity. You can either totally avoid the "romance" missions entirely, you can play the "romance" missions but decline the romance option, or you can start the "romance" option but skip the cutscene before it even starts. There are 3 scenes of sexual content in this game and they can all be skipped just by avoiding them, which is very easy.
  • No nudity unless you chose to do stuff with it
  • It's just like in movies where you can skip the inappropriate scenes and still enjoy the game.
  • Geralt can have sex with Shani. Breast visible.
  • Mild-moderate.
  • There is no option to turn off the nudity in this game because the developers wanted it to be close to the source material.
  • Geralt can pay women to have sex with in taverns
  • The character of Keria wears a outfit, where you can see her breasts from the side, and her nipple.
  • Contains somewhat frequently encountered courtesans, who are very scantily clad and who often make extremely suggestive comments as your character passes by.
  • Prostitution is in the game though easily avoided.
  • In a cutscene during the main questline, a bathing woman purposefully exposes herself from the waist up to Geralt. The play can see everything Geralt can see. This scene is skippable when encountered but is not optional.
  • During one mission in the main questline, the player encounters the "aftermath" of a multiple-murder scene involving prostitutes. There is a scantily clad woman hanging from the ceiling by her neck, another nailed to the wall with wooden stakes, and a bathtub filled with fully nude dead women.
  • Some of the monsters Geralt encounters and fights are female human-like creatures with exposed breasts.
  • One quest has you going to a bathouse, and there are lots of naked women.
  • If you want this game to be mild, just don't choose to have sex. You will never see a sex scene unless you choose to.

Violence & Gore

  • Geralt is a monster hunter, so the most common enemies are monsters.
  • 5/10 because the depicted violence is moderately.
  • When you fight against monsters the level of violence is just moderate, but when against humans its often severe.
  • Enemies can be cut in half.
  • Very violent fights if your fighting other humans. You can decapitate them, and do finishing animations on them, that end in gory results
  • During combat, the player can utilise swords, a crossbow, explosives and magic powers to fight human enemies as well as creatures and monsters ranging from the undead, spirits, harpies, bears, and werewolves. The player will spend most of his/her time with non-violent activities, although combat happens very often and you'll usually encounter it at least once every mission.
  • The combat is surprisingly slow-paced (it is all about patience and timing) and features some fantasy violence (which includes blood, dismemberment, decapitations, and chopping people in half) but due to the 3rd person view, violence in this game really is not too bad but still brutal at times.
  • Some cinematic sequences depict fantasy violence as well including magic, swordplay and fist fights.
  • Way more violent than Skyrim as you can actually do things like chop people in half.

Profanity

  • 150+ uses of fuck and at least 10 uses of cunt throughout the whole game including side quests and dlc, swearing is infrequent though due to the games length.
  • This is a long game so you would hear about 2 or 5 swears every hour or so but some characters swear very frequently.
  • Although the game does not have an option to remove the language, there is an option to tone it down in the options menu.
  • The swearing can be turned down, and there is a mod to turn off the swearing.

Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking

  • Fisstech in the game is considered as Cocaine. Although this is not stated in the game.
  • One cutscene can happen when renting a girl, where a girl is sniffing something out of a little bottle, probably drugs.
  • Not a huge amount of drug use throughout .
  • The game also features different variations of alcohol which the player can consume, and doing so causes a blurring effect on the screen. Non-playable characters in the game also consume alcohol somewhat frequently.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The mature content in this game is far less blunt than something like 'Game Of Thrones'. Comparable to lord of the rings trilogy.
  • Has got some very disturbing and scary monsters.
  • The games are mich more mild than the tv show so they cant be compared to each other in the age ratings
  • Gaunter O'Dimm is a frightening and mysterious character.
  • 'The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt' is an action role-playing game set in a medieval fantasy world. The main protagonist is the witcher 'Geralt of Rivia', a monster hunter for hire. Geralt has to confront a formidable enemy known as the Wild Hunt, which is a mythical cavalcade of ghastly riders capable of destroying entire settlements overnight.
  • Players explore a fantasy world in which monsters and ghosts are its inhabitants. Some creatures have vivid art styles which can be scary. Engaging in conflict with them can be more distressing than with other enemies.

Spoilers

The Parents Guide items below may give away important plot points.

Violence & Gore

  • A major bad guy gets his head sliced off, though violence is much reduced as he is not human and there is no blood.
  • The death of Olgierd von Everec is quite gory.

Frightening & Intense Scenes

  • The level where you put a botchling to rest can be very emotional or disturbing.
  • (Hearts of Stone expansion): A seemingly friendly character stabs a man in the eye with a wooden spoon handle. This is very visceral and can be painful to watch (lasts 5-10 seconds)
  • (Hearts of Stone expansion) Gaunter O'Dimm is an extremely terrifying and creepy antagonist, who is made more creepy by the fact that he seems friendly at first. He is also implied heavily to be the Devil, which may also offend or scare some.
  • Vesemir's death can be very emotionally intense.
  • One of the endings can lead to Geralt death which may can sadden players.
