Another little anecdote about Yennefer, the monster:
"Lady Yennefer?"
"Yes, Owlette."
"Tell me, is it possible to achieve everything with magic?"
"No."
"But a lot, or not?"
"Yes." The sorceress closed her eyes for a moment, touched the lids with her fingers. "A lot."
"Something really big...something terrible! Something very terrible?"
"Sometimes more terrible than you want."
"Hm...and will I...when will I be able to do something like that?"
"I don't know. Maybe never. I hope you will never be forced to do so."
Tranquillity. Silence. Heat. The smell of flowers and herbs.

Couldn't agree more. It just gives more arguments to people who are like :"Geralt only loves Yen because of the wish !!!!!!!! It's not truuu luv!!"

So maybe the non-readers can blame CD Project for this result: Triss & Yennfer Straw Poll
Kallelinski, after your post I still don't like her kind.
And please, don't shuffle the book and this game. Those are completely different art pieces, like movies and books. In books you can use all your imagination while in the game or movie you will get that from a different person's view.

Just a joke, his posts are very good and nailed it on the head.
Whom do you mean with "your post"? And nobody forces you to like her.
Still one is based on the other. You cannot discuss the games without discussing the books. It's not possible.
No, they're not. The books are the reason this game exists in the first place. Everything that happened in them, matters in the game.

Not his fault. Really is CDPR's
As much as I love them. Well ... they can still fix these things

I know, it was just for fun and fits in this situation
The first two games (moreso TW2 since there is no choice) are Triss-centric. Of course gamers are going to prefer Triss. I don't understand why polls are so important when obviously Triss has a bigger history in the games when the games have reached many more people over all these years. They prove nothing in regards to who is better.
On the topic of books, the books are canon in game Geralt's past. They are just as relevant. Disregarding them is laughable.
I'm not a huge fan of their interpretation of the wish & the forced earlier flirting they accompanied it with either despite my happiness at finally being able to extricate Geralt. I'd have preferred Geralt to just be able to be able to express a desire to be with either woman and not have it or his behaviour linked to the wish.
I don't think it's fair to say it pays no respect to the canon though.
Exactly. They should have given him the ability to speak of Triss, not just blaming everything on the wish... It should be something like :"Yen I will always care about you but I want to be with Triss now" or something similar. Nope, instead he couldn't be more cruel in this scene as he is right now lol
I don't see any point in such polls or any kind of a competition.
Isn't it the opposite? In books you can usually read what people think, see the profound thoughts of a character, but in games and movies you usually can't. Games and movies usually use just one POV through which you, the watcher or player, sees the world.
The games use the books as source material, not vice versa, it's kinda hard to say that the medium, which builds on the other one, is to be distinguish by it.
Letho and Philippa! She has a history with big guys after all, and they can go on romantic royal assassination missions together!
