There are a lot of beautiful women in Geralt’s orbit, but in my playthrough, I started off romancing Yennifer, but then Triss comes around, sparks fly, and I decided to see if I could be with both of them, seems like something they’d be into. Well, everything is going well, it seems like we might be about to consummate our thruple, things start getting real steamy, and then BOOM, they were just fucking with you, but won’t fuck you. You have to choose. It was such a hilarious and well-executed bait and switch. Though that was just my playthrough.
In addition to what the others commented, most (all?) of the attractive female lead characters are wearing the MOST RIDICULOUS tops ever. For some reason, women in the world of the witcher prefer shirts that are unbuttoned just in the boob region, or have a DEEP V-cut in them, or are just totally unbuttoned.
Don’t get me wrong, I love boobies as much as the next guy, but so many of the outfits just look impractical - especially for martial characters.
There is a technical lore reason though, most of the hot women are sorceresses, and can basically change their appearances at will. They tend to be hot women because it makes for easier social lives. Otherwise they are all 90 year old crones.
They look like that because the primarily male, hetero audience wants to see this. Let’s not come up with in-lore reasons why female characters are sexualised the way they are
In the show you literally see Yennefer go from fugly to beautiful because being sexualized is useful if you’re of a gender nobody usually listens to in the middle ages.
It’s a fantasy setting. Nobodies stopping the show runners from straying away from how things were in the middle ages. If that’s too unrealistic to you, I have a feeling magic, monsters, and witchers might be reality-breaking for you too (not literally you - second person plural you)
Geralt is a magically inclined mutant which is particularly attractive to the other witches as they are 90+ years old as is Geralt so plain human partners are barely more than plaything to them
For those who don’t play the Witcher 3, what does this mean?

Ayy, I’m not the only one

Clearly the work of some seriously thirsty devs.

Most of them are old crones, they make themselves look like this because they are vain.
Ves takes the cake though, since she just runs around with an open shirt all day.
Yeah, Ves just stopped giving a fuck a while ago.
I think we know the reason, my friend.

Yes, also, Geralt is sterile and immune to STDs.
Geralt is a very popular man.
