The game includes a side quest in which Geralt engages in a drinking game characters are depicted drunk and/or passed out. These brief sequences depict females' breasts and buttocks-sexual moaning sounds can be heard, though the camera cuts away from explicit sexual acts. During the course of the game, the central character can engage in sexual activity with prostitutes and female companions. Some cutscenes depict slow-motion decapitations and other gore: an autopsy of a torture victim, rooms with several corpses (e.g., hanging from the ceiling, covered in blood on a bed, naked in a tub).
Large blood-splatter effects occur when enemies are slashed, with some attacks resulting in decapitation or dismemberment. Characters engage in melee-style combat using swords and other bladed weapons, as well as magical attacks (e.g., blasts of fire, stun spells) combat is highlighted by screams of pain and impact sounds. Players explore a war-ravaged world while completing quests and killing enemy soldiers and fantastical creatures (e.g., wraiths, harpies, rock beasts). This is an open-world role-playing game in which players assume the role of Geralt, a monster hunter in search of a missing woman.
