[Mild Character Spoilers] Missed opportunities for romance options
So guys,
I really love Yen and I like Triss (no offense Team Merigold), but I thought in general there were very few OTHER romance options or even one-night-stands in the game.
I'm normally not one who has sex scenes on my top priority list, so this is probably the main reason why I only come up with this now so late after the games release, but I couldn't help but see a lot of scenes where characters are almost more-than-obviously flirting with Geralt or Geralt likes them a lot and there is no option whatsoever to do anything in that regard.
I see that for the endgame obviously there are very few characters that could ultimately "end up" with Geralt for the rest of his life (such as Yen, Triss, maybe Fringilla (but rather not considering how this ended in the books) and 1 or 2 others maybe from the previous games))
Non the less I did find it a little bit disappointing that:
1. Triss had so little screen time (I understand Yen has to have more because of her connection to Ciri, but again I think Triss had to little screentime non the less and her "I love you" decision was way too early to properly decide between the two possible characters) But that is for another topic
2. That your "love interests" had to little in-between missions dialogue and are suddenly "gone" after the end of the game (there could be a way to fix this by building in an ending with Yen/Triss after the normal ending where you can maybe see how they ended up (a kind of "a typical day in the rest of their lives" thing) and give us the option to TALK to them at least). But again, NOT the point of the thread.
3. And that's my point in this thread. I was disappointed there were not more possible romance options. I know romance was never the focus in TW3, but I would have expected at least 3 or 4 more options, I mean come on. Who do we have?
Options we have (aside from Yen/Triss):
- Keira Metz (furthering out progression in the banging-sorceresses bingo
) which had a crush on Geralt in the books I think
- The lady at the Gwent tournament
- The master-swordfigher on skellige
And here are some opportunities / possibilities which were missed IMO:
Fringilla -------------------- okay considering she came so late in the game (no pun intended) I understand that
Ves -------------------------- I mean come on, I know she was never a very DEVELOPED character but we had an option -------------------------------- with her in TW2
Rosa Var Attre ------------ the girl was impressed to fight with a witcher and she dropped all the hints and glances, I
-------------------------------- mean come on
Herbalist from E3 ------- she never made it into the game. The face animation was one of the best once I seen but
-------------------------------- CDPR somehow excluded her and her quest-line from the game
And elven woman ------- I think the elves had way too little screentime in the game, and there was no romance either
Cerys ----------------------- about the one that I'd say was the most obvious and should definitely have been an option. She -------------------------------- was definitely jealous of Yennefer or at least the kind of relationship she had with me/Geralt,
-------------------------------- she did fancy Geralt a lot and she sounded as if she was interested. Sure some might say we
-------------------------------- wouldn't because of her father and whatnot, but hell her father had something with Yen didn't
-------------------------------- he? Also have such things ever stopped Geralt? Also he really liked her (and I like her
--------------------------------- character too, maybe I'm alone there but...)
Do you agree with me and do you have any other characters that would have been fitting for a romance and CDPR missed. And if you do not agree, elaborate why?
It's not a big topic for me and it does certainly not ruin the game, it was just something that came to me after playing the game for some time and I though I'd start a little discussion since I did not see a thread mentioning this specific topic yet (sorry if I missed it/ didn't see it)
