10 Genius Ways Video Games Fought Pirates

2. Sex with Marietta Loredo / Sadistic Deaths - The Witcher 2

Marietta Loredo – mother of Flotsam commander Bernand – is easily one of the most memorable characters in 2011’s The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. A delusional and corrupted woman who specializes in drug production, she’s as easy to love as she is to hate.

No matter where you fall on that scale, though, it’s unlikely that you’d want to see Geralt take her to bed. Yet, that’s exactly what you’ll see every time he has sex with another character if you happen to hop into a cracked version of The Witcher 2, as the beautiful sorceress, military soldier, mage, or elf Geralt is about to seduce is swapped for an all too aroused Marietta. 

The fact that the original character’s moans accompany Marietta’s stoic expression makes their rendezvous particularly horrifying.

If that weren’t enough, guilty gamers will randomly be subjected to cutscenes in which Geralt dies in overly graphic ways, too, including getting impaled by arrows.

Truth be told, we’re not sure which is worse to watch.
