Triss was the breakout character of the original game and enormously well-marketed.

Yeah and now she got relegated in this game when they could of added more of her, at this point we can only speculate as to what the developers original plan was for her or why she wasn't as prevalent in this game.Triss was the breakout character of the original game and enormously well-marketed.

I'm of the opinion there's no "Anti-Triss Agenda" but they felt they needed to give Yennefer a bigger role because they wanted people to be actually torn between the two.
The problem is you never get to spend any time with her before Triss.
Really, the game should have gone this way:
1. White Orchard
2. Velen
3. Skellige (maybe saling from a village along the coasts due to the blockade)
4. Novigrad
5. Caer Morhen as the place where the final choice is made
i dont want a triss dlc, id like for my choice of triss in the game to actually matter, i cant be the only one that was emotionally invested, hell i had to step away from the computer at some points, and to know that i sat through a torture scene that literlally tormented my soul.i had to slap myself and tell myself its just a game. i need help lol
Triss isn't the only problem I had. Her lack of content did shock me though. If you have her as a relationship option, make her part of Geralt's life. If you can't make her an equal then don't have her at all. I would have rather had something saying Triss was in hiding and never see her again then have her as a romance option that was short and empty. Even the game doesn't recognize that you're in a relationship. Yen still flirts with you, everyone still thinks you are together, hell even the character codex says Yen asked Triss for help at Kaer Morhen... I love Triss' character and even what she did to Geralt doesn't really bother me all that much. I just would like her to have more content in the GAME even if it isn't "sexy". I would love to get her opinion on what's going on in the war, ideas on how to help Ciri, I mean anything really. She's a strong character that got down graded to a bad side-kick.
Saying that, I love this game. I'm on my second play through going a lot slower and finding all these subtle hints about what's going to happen. I can't get enough of Gwent and finding myself cheering when I win (Which freaks my partner out). Saying it is the Game of the year is an understatement.
the romance itself isnt really the problem, its after. you arrive at skellige and geralt is hittin on yen, now ive just told triss i love her and im telling yen that she smells great.. it just totally rubs me the wrong way knowing that i chose triss and geralt is doing the same thing as if he had or hadnt.

Good idea but game shouldn't forcing us to making our own narrativejust for my own narrative
Worst case scenario - Triss was a placeholder until they introduced Yen.
Me too and unleashing the magic bond before romance Triss makes more sense.I play the Skellige part first, so that Geralt will finish his flirting and shit before I do the Novigrad quests, just for my own narrative
That would be the most devastating outcome. And I honestly believe that if they were to announce that, it would turn so many of their fan base off.
It's obsurd to have Triss character/story and her relationship with the fans and Geralt developed this much simply to introduce Yen character and ignore everything that been developing till now.
To me Yen is not that important because my playing experience puts Triss as my main girl.
I have done almost the same. Just done in Novigrad main quests, than go to Skellige - there all quests done with reject Yen, than return to Novigrad and done all side quests and confess to Triss, than for ugly baby and Kaer Morhen.I play the Skellige part first, so that Geralt will finish his flirting and shit before I do the Novigrad quests, just for my own narrative

I totally agree, after everything she and Geralt went through in the previous games, it would of never made sense to break them up, have Triss play a side character (well, still a big character but much less important than previously), and push Yen at people that wanted their Geralt to follow Triss. It isn't necessarily about romancing her, just her content in general for almost pushed aside for introducing Yen and i don't want to turn this into a Yen vs Triss thread (because there are plenty of those already), but it still stands that the lack of Triss content (both in relationships and in general) pale in comparison to Yen. I have no idea what CDPR will say on that matter if they choose to comment but i can't imagine them saying Triss was just a fling until Yen came into the picture.
If they do it before the fountain scene it would render that scene redundant. Why would the house appear in the fountain if they've already seen it/been there? I don't know where it would logically fall in the story. Nor do I even know it is something to consider. Seems a bit too focused on Triss which would get the other side of the romance-camps upset. Don't get me wrong though, I would love to play it if they did make it.
