I really like the Triss character development in the first two games, and I think what she really needs now is more participation is the late story development (in the actual state she could just change her name from Triss to Tree).
But besides the story against the Wild Hunt, I also agree that her romance state should be more acknowledged by the other characters in general, resulting in different dialogues when talking to those npcs, and in more time with Geralt himself if romanced (quests available only to the woman "romanced", or to both if the Geralt in question likes to tango).
I kind of disagree with the sugestions that Triss and Yen should somewhat create a fight or start arguing about Geralt's love. Although Yen regularly gets angry if not picked (mostly perceived because you spend way more time with her after the rejection), I really can't see their characters going around "Hey bitcch, stop giving the looks to my bf!" while pulling hair and slapping one another. Triss and Yen remain "friends" themselves (and besides, they are both sorceresses, a real fight between them could not end well since it probably would not be restricted to slaps), they only get mad at Geralt.
Ouch...I've tried to catchup on my reading here...took my old man nap and come back and there are bunches of new posts!
Now as for the cat fight...I mentioned that earlier today, don't know if I started the conversation or not but, I was thinking out-loud, MY wish to see that...I've never had a couple of super-haught chicks fight over me so...you know, bucket list and all...
Anyway, I think it would be a fight fought with verbal jabs and go-to-hell looks...and the majority of the jabs would be landed on Geralt! There was a scene of a movie, I can't place it in my head right now but, the wife slaps the husband(Bruce Willis I think it was) and he is just deadpan looking back at her and he says something like 'you cheat and then you're pissed at me??? She later admits she's pissed cause he seems like he doesn't even care that she cheated...I think on the breakup, Yen might transition her anger a bit like that.
"You cheated on me, for over a year and with a friend no less, as if that could possible make it any better, easier for me to accept. I said I didn't want to hear the why of it or any of your excuses...well now you just want me to ignore the righteous stares of your witcher friends AND the come hither looks the two of you share when I'm in the room. Well I don't need this shit right now. We must keep Ciri safe and that is where I am focusing myself but I refuse to stay here and be further humiliated." And with that Yen leaves the room.
That is the kind of 'fight I would see...you might even have Triss interrupt her somewhere with the "hey, climb down off that porcelain pony for a moment and realize, you did everything in your power to push him away since the beginning in fact, don't blame him for something you could have fixed with a single teleport...but that would have forced you to commit."
I don't know...just grasping at straws of mad sorceress dialog...
Anyway, I don't see it being really physical and that might not even be in the presence of anyone but Geralt...I would like to see a cloths ripping scene sure, I like Jerry Springer as much as the next guy but that would be WAY too white-trash for these ladies.

And most of them are re-used too! I've noticed ME animations in DA and SWTOR.
SWTOR! God yes! I was trying to remember what game it was that had such a horrible romance arc...not more than one or two 'felt' organic. Most of them were almost funny. The darkside one, where you turn the young jedi and she goes all goth on ya...that was funny, trying to get you to 'cheat' on your twilik 'wife' in the computer lab of the ship! Funny stuff man...but Bioware and EA <puke>!
