I really want to play the witcher but riding the horse is wasted content. Should I still play?
That's the game bud. Like I get that NTR isn't for everyone but it's such a weird idea that people come into a game's thread that clearly tags all its fetishes and complains about it. Every sex game is a slow build these days and NTR is used as a way to get h content in the game without breaking the narrative because most people are here to fap but the creator wants to write a story. Not trying to put you on blast but if NTR isn't your thing there won't be not NTR content for a little while because of the relationship build of the MC. Try playing games that cater to your fetish instead.
Couple of things...
First of all, I played through the Witcher 3 several times and barely ever rode anywhere. So that works just fine.
Secondly, if NTR is the only way you can think of to provide sexual gratification early in your story arc you may want to rethink your approach. You could restructure the story, work with flash-backs and forwards, include a prelude or just stick to the slow build-up if your writing is good enough to keep people hooked regardless.
Lastly, if the game was advertised with unskippable NTR I'd put on my big boy pants and simply give it a pass. Not my fetish, fair enough, let's play something else. However, there's a bright yellow disclaimer in the OP telling me NTR can be switched off, so it shouldn't come as a surprise when non-NTR people feel like they could be part of the target audience.
Obviously that doesn't work when turning it off means I miss out on 80% of the sex scenes.
So yeah, I'll walk away and look for something else to play now, but you can't really blame me for being in the thread despite not liking NTR.
