*necros dying thread*As I know that Triss loved Geralt from the books, I decided to choose her every time. Shani seems a little too ... common (?) for me anyway.
As far as I know, in the book "The Blood of elves", Shani was a 3rd year student which made her 17.I don't know how old Triss is, but 10 years apart sounds right.56236 said:Just curious... would you say that Shani & Triss have a decent 10 year spread apart in age? :hmmmThat is, only if you don't factor sorceress imortality and agelessness)
Do you really see Triss as lying to Geralt about having her own agenda? I guess I read her differently. I also like to think that Geralt is on the ball enough to see for himself that she has to answer to some powerful people. Triss certainly prefers to avoid discussing both her agenda and the Lodge in general, but my impression from the books as well as from the game was that her institutional loyalties always end up in second place--behind her personal loyalties. She is vulnerable is ways that Geralt and others are not, and she's terrible at protecting herself and others from the consequences of those vulnerabilities, but her particular idealism never strikes me as being as ruthless as that of other Lodge members. I think Eskel sums her up well in the prologue: if she had access to the witchers' magical secrets, she would try to use them to help people, but they won't give her access because things are never that simple.I like how Sapkowski describes her in this interview (pretty and red-haired but insecure): http://ofblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/part-ii-of-june-2008-fantasymundo.htmlThat insecurity is dangerous but also endearing.Handel said:I read all the books for Geralt before playing the game. The Sorcerress thingy is actually much worse then the Order. Their want to rule the world either through manipulations or through direct killings when the manipulations don't work (as was with the assasination of the Redanian king). And as it was seen Triss has her own agenda and was definitely lying to Geralt about it. Concerning Alvin for everyone who knew the books is obvious Triss wanted Alvin because the sorceress want to use his abilities for their purposes (actually this is kinda repeating the Cirilla story from the books - where the sorceress to who Geralt trusted failed him by pursuing their own purposes).As for Shani she is just a single night easy pick and it cannot be somethign else because the witchers (as the sorceress) are practically immortal (no death due to natural ageing) and never even get older. So it is simply impoosible to make a family with a common human woman.
Too right. Cheers.MisterD373 said:I actually don't know which I prefer: Red-head or Brunetter Triss.I think Red-head looked nice, but then mixed with Shani didn't really make it personal. A brunette Triss would just make me think of Yenneffer and a Black-haired Triss would make me think she was on a bad side. So I am really lost with what I like more, but however they made her is how I like her.
Maybe we didn't want this ending, did you think about that.shadesaus said:I am not sure why everyone doesn't get Triss to stay but when I chose Triss as a relationship, it turned out fine.Even at the end, in the Kings court ,Gerralt says..... "I love you Triss" Triss replies with..... "I love you too Geralt"Not sure why the rest of you don't get this, perhaps you didn't choose the right options with Triss to get her to say those things.
Sure I did. why would I care if you're interested or not. The reply is "obviously" for the people that did want that ending but couldn't get it to happen.All I was pointing out is that it is possible and hope it gets improved on in the next series.Close to real RPG gamingAs for a 2nd in company, heaps better having Triss around helping in fights than that useless archer in the fields near the bridge before Vazima. I can't remember what his name is.fchopin said:Maybe we didn't want this ending, did you think about that.fchopin said:I am not sure why everyone doesn't get Triss to stay but when I chose Triss as a relationship, it turned out fine.Even at the end, in the Kings court ,Gerralt says.....

Sorry to burst your bubble, but it's not really something you have to work for. If you choose Triss and select the correct conversation options, you get her to say what you mentioned earlier. Not a great deal of hard work is required, actually, and I'm sure EVERYONE who chose Triss got that ending, and all those who chose Shani didn't. It isn't an achievement of any kind, really.shadesaus said:The reply is "obviously" for the people that did want that ending but couldn't get it to happen.
If you really don't care what people are interested in, why post in a forum? Mellow down, will you?shadesaus said:Sure I did. why would I care if you're interested or not.
I am mellow lolI never said I didn't care about it, as you so brightly pointed out, wouldn't have posted otherwise.I said I didn't care if that person cared or not. they wouldn't have posted "did you think that maybe we didn't want that ending" yes i thought about it, it wasn't aimed at them. It was aimed at the countless posts saying Triss left them at the end when they chose her.why is that so hard to understand and why get involved saying I need to mellow? you don't know me or how i'm feeling, u never asked. roflVilgefortze said:Sorry to burst your bubble, but it's not really something you have to work for.
