The Triss content and the inconsistency of our romance's choice

[snakey_77]

i think anything post story will be nasty even ( EVEN THOUGH PERSONALLY IM SO BORED POST GAME ) it needs to be during the main quests and it has to really feel like theres meaning and a purpose not throw in some quests with triss to just give us more time with her ..
she deserves to be given a story and one with geralt in a fitting send off to a great story not a half arsed attempt to just give us more triss content!!
that said i see no other way if they are to give us a meaningful triss storyline some of the yen story will need to take a different path if i choose triss!!

i know most will say any triss content is better than none

know folks might throw me out on my ear...but I would pay another $60 for a MAJOR expansion...call it The Witcher 3.5, whatever...its that damn good to me and whats $60 If you are sweating that amount for entertainment that keeps you occupied for 200 hours...you need to climb out of the card board box and get up under the overpass. 200 hours of entertainment one time cost me nearly $10000 bucks...if I hadn't cancelled my credit card that escort would STILL be making charges!

We all don't care too much about price as long as they provide fantastic expansions.
I have already spent around $300 on this game.

I think any content relating to Triss would be focused on dialogue first, maybe talking to other npc's where you get the option to talk/mention about Triss or talking to Triss herself, then whether a new side quest appears or a patch that changes some things that happen in the main story well is still anybody's guess. A confrontation between Yen and Triss would also be welcome as long as it doesn't necessarily fall into that catfight cliche, i mean they are close friends, they should act like adults in that situation.

I also won't mind paying for a dlc/expansion pack because to me the content would be more important than a bit of money....i am sure my boss will give me a raise

I bought a ps4 for this game and paid for the collector's edition, and we both know how much games cost in Australia

Damn this is sad, im gonna do the Triss quest and then reload and finish my game with Yenn relationship, not worth to be with Triss if you are going to get punished for it.

Punished is a strong term...but I think it fits. Its actually a case where they put in the story and fleshed it out for ONE of the ladies but didn't have time to finish with the other. Heck, I don't think they actually finished the Yen story arc...it felt lacking at the end and kind of half-assed. BUTT...Triss fans got HOSED! And NOT in that good way!

I like your attitude and agreed! Was it a new video card?

I bough a collector's edition for ps4 and a PC version on Steam. It is expensive but still worth!

No, just for game - a collector edition and digital edition plus season pass. Unit is AUD though.

I was willing to forgive a lot of this, because I assumed that at the end of the game I would get to reunite with Triss. But the fact that there are no main characters to talk to after the game, really pushed me over the edge. After talking to Triss and agreeing to live with her in Kovir, I really wanted the opportunity to get a glimpse into their life. How are Geralt and Triss living now. What is a day with them like? I just assumed I would get to see that.

Really disappointed! Love the game overall, but really disappointed with this aspect.

I would be willing to pay money, if CDPR would add in more epilogue. The ability to see what characters are up to now that the main threat of the Wild Hunt is over. Maybe a lighthearted quest available for each character. I will pay the $$$ for that!

Agreed after the game when it's so empty, and not being able to talk to ANY of the main characters, not just the love interest. That just left me with an empty feeling for a while even though there was a slideshow. It's like you play the game for 100 hours only to be left with a 2 minute slideshow to show what happened with the main characters.

I'd definitely pay money for a DLC like that. They could even patch that in pretty easily since they already prompt you after the game telling you that you can go back to finish side quests. They could always put in something like "Hey, if you want to continue on you have the option of using the fast travel in front of the castle to go to Kovir."

On another topic that I can relate back to Triss...here goes.

My wife has stopped 'hovering' for the moment and I'd like to ask about the various body models in TW3, I will spoiler tag it so if you don't want to see a perv question about boobs...don't click the tag

Spoiler

From what I could gather from walking through the bath house, there looks to be three distinct body styles of the average NPC lady. Skinny like the young girl in the spa with Ciri on Skelliga, and in the bath house there was an average and then a more plump chick...

Ok, relating this back to Triss, wouldn't she be more the plump style? I mean I like it! Not saying its a bad thing...

Yen seems to be the average size but...dat'ass right? That black dress and the tight felt-pants...

Ok, sorry I need to stop...but I am interested in hearing, does anyone know if there are actually two different models for the ladies, one action one and one for the cut scenes?

Ok, if anyone wants to msg me that answer cause they don't want to post it, I am good wit dat...thanks for your time I now return you to your regularly scheduled programming.

Ouch f'n ouchie!!! Wow...I got off light it seems...

I ask you this, Triss fans... if our choices in W2 mattered, and rescuing her meant that she was part of our search for yennefer, and upon their meeting, Geralt would just say, "Hey Yennefer, I've meaning to find you for a while now... meet Triss my new girlfriend... actually never mind, she told me you already knew each other... anyway, now that that's over with we're off to do some questing together, see ya!"

"Wait Geralt! Ciri is in this world again, we need to find her!"

"Sure, no problem, me and Triss will take care of it, just go chill with the emperor... Hendrick you said? Ok, we're off."


And she consequences would be that Saskia is still under control and burns down, say, one of the villages in Velen or Deathmond is alive and used his magic to destroy that same village.

Would you make this trade?

That is what they need to know , come on CDPR it doesn't need to be fanservice it just needs to have include Triss content relevant to what the dlc is about.

No because Yen is still vital to the story and i don't want any less content for Yen, in fact i am glad she had a lot of content (although i think it starts to go downhill in the final third), we just want choosing Triss to be consistent with our choice, and that means not making everyone act like Geralt and Yen are together, balancing out the content for Triss instead of her just standing around saying well so many times and maybe give some explanations as to why they broke up or why Triss wasn't at Kaer Morhen when she told Geralt that (although this point is secondary in my opinion). Although i would like for Saskia to return somehow.

How exactly is Yen vital?

 

[msanx]

How exactly is Yen vital?

Her relationship to Ciri, i mean you could remove her from the game, but then you could say the same about every character other than Geralt. CDPR went with the story about the wild hunt and focused on Ciri (and Geralt's final story), so since they are basing this game off the books, it needs Yen, what i don't like is how Triss plays less of a role, again the game doesn't need for Yen to be 'demoted' it just needed more for Triss as well as other characters i'm not going to talk about here.

 

[Noobseals]

How exactly is Yen vital?

She is an important part in the main story (Ciri's "mom"), and just like what Geralt said after he rejected Yen -"magic has gone but that does not mean I don't like spending time with you"

 

[hawkeyesforever]

Actually Geralt starts the game still in love with Triss but because of his regained memory now also has new/old feelings for Yennefer, Geralt is single because Triss apparantly decides that she no longer wants to help Geralt find Yennefer, maybe because she doesnt want to be a distraction so geralt can figure out the regained feelings about Yennefer easier.

So Geralt didnt magicaly fall out of love with Triss and in love with yennefer between witcher 2 and 3 he is just trying to find Yennefer to see what these regained memories of him loving her are all about with Triss giving him the space to do that.

To me, this is exactly the reason why on my next playthrough I'm going to do Skellige first before Novigrad. That way Geralt can sort out his feelings with Yen first before heading back to let Triss know.

Well, after reading a FREAKING WALL of text over in another thread on all the badly done and horribly conceived end bits of this game(I swear that dude could teach a college class on The Witcherverse) I am even MORE convinced that the game was simply rushed and Triss content was planned but they couldn't get all the parts in place.

IF that be the fact, and I am HOPING and PRAYING that it is...then they already have the proper VOs in the can and just need time to implement them! I have to find some peace in the fact that CDPR wouldn't treat Triss or ANY of the main cast like this intentionally. I have to believe they wanted to do better, planned to do better and because they had the parts but not the time to do it...all they need is a few months and we'll see a revamped Act 3...now with 150% more Triss! Ok maybe 1500% would be more like it

You sir, should be working for CDPR, so we can get all this across to them :gathering:

ill live in hope too that they give us stuff that they prob should have without time constraints ..i can kinda understand now there logic and release time .. a lot of the big players are queueing up and with witcher 3s already delayed time frame and unproved game really ( you can push all the fancy trailers at me but if the game sucks it just sucks) which it didn't but they were really racing against time in a way ffxiv expansion is due out 19th of june early release eso for consoles 9th of june these things could of affected our poor TRISS CONTENT!!

On a plus side they have cemented a great franchise and a great game .. hopefully now they can call there release date when they want of future products TRISS EFFECT LOL and have time to finish games correctly

To be fair, 'rushed' is a little excessive. The game is relatively bug free, has a ton of great content, and improves of pretty much every gameplay aspect of TW2. At some point the game has to release. I'm disappointed to see more contracts and points of interest chosen over TW2 imports and Triss content, but that doesn't mean the game was rushed. It means when they were drawing of the line of where to stop, they went for more of an approach to appease newcomers/book lover rather than TW1/TW2 fans.
