I sincerely feel bad for not hooking up with Triss after the quest on Hindarsfjall. Yen is turning out to be a b*tch! Triss was much more soft hearted.

Arcsquad12 posted:My strategy is built around the foltest siege master card. Dump my hero cards to mess up tell enemy and force him into playing his scorch cards. I like using blue stripes to trick them into burning a high value target. Then I have two onagers with tight bond, the medic and yennefer to draw up the blue stripes to pull another scorch. Once their scorch cards are gone I play the twin onagers and foltest's siege card. With the medic that's seventy four points in artillery alone. Yeah it's all about tricking the computer into bringing out scorches. Throw out an 8 seige unit or yeah use the blue stripes if you have the medics that round. A lot of people talk about losing the first round on purpose, but so many of my gwent games went: 1) Win Spy round by 1 2) Win round 2 with 110 points.

Triss is a coward and a sexual predator. Yen is a bitch, but give her a chance! Edit: a sexual predator of mutants, not children. Should clarify a bit.

Yennefer is the best. She's basically just picking all the Renegade choices in the game, because god dammit, pussyfooting around isn't gonna get her daughter back. Yeah, sorry about your lovely tree or whatever, but the only person who can save the planet from an imminent ice age is missing, and my only lead is this desecrated corpse that I need to talk to, or else the trail is gonna run cold. She's a fascinating character. Triss is pretty boring in comparison.

Sure but on the other hand she nearly causes an ecological disaster in order to obtain information of no real worth and the only reason the investigation doesn't end cold there is because the druid happened to hear us talking about the wildhunt and provided information which he could have relayed by talking to him instead of violating his and Crach's trust breaking into his room, stealing his stuff and nearly drowning the whole island.

Yennefer owns. She's basically the perfect girlfriend for Geralt - this isn't Mass Effect, the player character isn't you, and I feel like Geralt and Yen have a way more... authentically couple-ey rapport than I've seen in pretty much any game before. Especially with Ciri in the mix, you really get the impression that the two of them would do anything for her and pretty much could if they wanted, they're like the perfect crazily powerful dysfunctional family. I feel like he'd end up bloody miserable with Triss, especially with her ending dragging him into a position as a political adviser forever.

Triss is a red head. Check and mate. I don't know, I wish we had more than one game with Yen. It does feel like she was always there in a way though, we spend so much time with her in TW3 that it almost makes up for her absence. But, I practically grew up with Triss being Geralt's bae since TW1, they just feel right together.  Then again, him and Yen have a great spark too. I DON'T KNOW drat IT.  why not both?

Just all go all in and romance Shani too. Speaking of which I played the expansion where Shani and Geralt used to be a thing but they're just friends now and they did a real nice job writing that.

The only true coupling is Triss, because Geralt is a loving idiot manchild and would obviously choose the least healthy relationship.

I did it over a few nights, with the mod that made my boat not take damage, as it would suck to have the boat get destroyed in the middle of the ocean. I sold basically everything because I think I was 35 or so, but that enabled me to have enough money to pump into the runesmith. I agree, Yen makes way more sense for who Geralt is in this game. Though ME I always felt that Shep had a distinct personality, but then I played Angry Space Lesbian who doens't have time for your poo poo or Captain Sisko Shep, Liara still seemed like the only logical romance option. Shani is the romance I took in Witcher 1 though.

I went for Triss because she was willing to get tortured to find Ciri; I gather she's apparently two ticks from a rapist in the books but in the game she was kind of selfless & brave, the red-head sealed the deal.

the triss rapist jokes come from the first/second games, actually, because when geralt comes back without his memory he's like "people tell me that there are songs about my love affair with a sorceress" and triss is all like "well hello sailor"

I was being too goody-two-shoes with my Geralt and complaining about her actions throughout that quest. Not anymore. PS. You could write a summary of W3's plot in a similar manner and it would be quite an enjoyable read.

The best thing about Triss is they actually wrote some solid character development to bring her from books-Triss to mage railroad leadership-Triss.

OTOH Triss is actually pleasant to be around (for a sorceress), whereas Yen is like running your eyeballs with sandpaper.

Playing through Heart of Stone, the people who made the music for this game deserve a ton of awards. It was already good in the main game but they knocked it out of the park for the first expansion.

Triss is supposed to be this leader/savior for the mages in Novigrad but she doesn't really act like it. she sounds and acts kind of like a dopey teenage girl. That's my impression from my interactions with her so far, I've only just led everyone through the sewers.

The right answer is Geralt boning any woman willing. For my Geralt, first it was Keira, then Triss, and I'm currently trying with Yen. Gotta get it when I can 'cause a dragon or a harpy or whatever could kill me any day.

Speaking of Geralt dying, what is this thing I've seen were Geralt gets killed via pitchfork and Yenn dies trying to bring him back to life? Is that the end of the books or the Ultimate End of Geralt no matter what your game choices are, but it happens way in the future.

Avalon wtf? Never knew this bit. The represtation of Triss in the first two games seems much at odds with Triss in the 3rd game. Even though the voice actress changed from the first game, even in the 2nd game she was much less wishy washy woe is me. Even within W3 she swings wildly at times
