The Witcher 4 "won't focus on Geralt," but his voice actor says he'll at least be "a part" of the RPG sequel (www.yahoo.com)

I'll bite the potential bait. What did you mean then?

I ask as a straight white dude that generally creates female characters in game and truly enjoy seeing how the game world reacts to the character (if it does) and find it enjoyable to experience challenges outside of those that generally color my world view.

It's cool to be Geralt or Male Shepard but I've seen, read and played that story quite a few times. For my personal enjoyment I'd like to live in a world (especially another CDPR one, doubly so for the Witcher universe) as a female character. It opens up a shit ton of new dialog possibilities and quest choices.

Having played through Cyberpunk multiple times as both male and female V, there's skme truly unique things that they do that are only possible by leveraging the PC's gender when interacting with the world.
