The Polish seem to do things a little bit differently than the rest of the world. They ride horses into battle against legions of tanks, they create submarines with screen doors, and they promote their video games by having lead characters featured nude in Polish Playboy Magazine. Gone are the days of promoting their video games using good old-fashioned viral videos and Facebook marketing. Truthfully, I’m quite okay with this change.
Though The Witcher 2 features deep and engaging dialogue, and female characters with actual goals and ambitions, I’m glad to see a bit of sexiness like this. In most cases I would consider it a simple ploy to gain extra notoriety, and perhaps it is… but I mostly think the team was just having fun. Had their female characters simply been the typical damsels in distress that plague most video games and cinema, I would have thought otherwise, but in my books, CD Project has earned their right to promote their games using a bit of harmless smut. Triss Merigold, you look great.
Triss Merigold in Polish Playboy May 2011
Chances are that if you’re looking at these pictures, you’re doing so to gaze upon the technological prowess required to create such stunning renders of the female form. Triss Merigold seems to be chilling out after a hard day of demon slaying.
This shot is the female equivalent of a nearly nude man wearing a holster, pistols, and cowboy hat. Maybe this look is in vogue in the world that Geralt and Triss inhabit. In case you’re wondering, yes, this is how I lounge around my house.
This shot looks almost painted, and I really like the way the characters hair was done.
You can pick up your very own copy of the May issue of Polish Playboy on Polish newsstands… in… Poland.

About that information about “They ride horses into battle against legions of tanks”. Sorry but this is not true – see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_common_misconceptions and particularily the paragraph starting:
“During the German
Invasion of Poland
in 1939, there is no evidence of
Polish Cavalry
mounting a brave but futile charge against German
tanks
using lances and sabres. ”
In fact, we did use cavalry against tanks BUT horses were dragging light ani-tank cannons, which was good way to loop enemy divisions and attack german tanks fram rear, where their armor was nuch thinner. Cannon dragged by horses where much faster and could better maneuvr than other kinds of atnitank weapons. Later, soviet propaganda wanted to demote the role of our forces during Second World War so they published movies where polish cavalery was charging tanks attacking them with sabres.

LMAO
Now tell me, Mr. Szydlik , how many days did it take for Germans to completely overtake Poland?
That’s right, 27 days. So shut it.
No matter what propaganda said, you guys screwed this one up, no offense. And without this dumb Soviet propaganda you would live by now in totally different country.
Russians? Invading? 17th? Helping Germans?I guess you know shit Mr.Bigmouth.
You really are ignorant, aren’t you? The Polish didn’t even have a decent army at the time and you’re telling them THEY screwed up? On top of the fact that Germany promised not to invade any country, they really weren’t prepared. The policy of appeasement towards Hitler in Europe by Britain and France were the REAL screwups.
i just cant believe, again damn thing about poles attacking panzers with cavalry units,tryin to capture berlin.
As you shouldn’t, because so far as I know, it didn’t actually happen.
Well… It took 6h to take Denmark by Nazi’s. We – Polish people – had some resistance against Germany.
And let’s not talk about role of Poles in WW II. Because, maybe you don’t know, we defended England in 1940. Polish airforce. We fought with this Nazi bastards.
I’m proud, that I’m a Pole.
Although Russia and Germany stood against us, we somehow survived.
Pictures of a naked video game character abound. Hey guys, lets discuss the German invasion of Poland! Dafuq O.o
I can’t believe you people are bitching about something that happened 80 years ago and not paying attention to DEM TITTIES.
Never thought I’d be saying this for a character in a video game but….damn! Triss looking damn fine. Love how the shots look exactly like you’d see in a photoshoot with a real person. Dem titties, dat ass, etc.
Hmm, that’s some might fine rendering, mighty fine though the xbox 360 version is not quite that good.
Moving on to the serious point, I thought the polish did charge with sabres at tanks but this seems not to be the case. Only difference for britain is the channel which saved us, Nazi caught everyone with their pants down no matter what you did.
