Exactly, why didn't Triss go with Geralt and Phillipa to get the sunstone, imagine the banter they could of had. I think everyone here could write 10 pages worth of stuff that could of been included in the game but now goes down as missed oppurtunities. Novigrad wasn't too bad because she actually had a quest even though it was short, but once you get to Skellige, you might as well pretend she isn't there. She doesn't even really interact with Ciri even though they are meant to be like close sisters, for Ciri it is all Geralt and Yen in her life and even that scene on the boat where Geralt and Ciri are playing together, the screen turns to Yen who is smiling - that could of been Triss if she was the love interest, but nope that whole storyline revolves almost exclusively around Geralt, Yen and Ciri, those 3 plus Avallach and the wild hunt are the only things that keep moving the plot forward.

True, in fact, for Geralt to even "end up" in Kaer Morhen post-game, only works with the Witcheres ending and Yen as the romance option...
I got that dialogue and at first I thought it implied the Kovir trip but then I was thinking that it doesn't necessarily point at this. They talk about how they have been in White Orchard for a few months now. Ciri asks Geralt when he is leaving and he says "Right now" and then she asks if he will at least give Triss time to pack. Maybe they're talking about just leaving White Orchard in general? Going onto the next big thing. Maybe it's about Kovir though. That'd be nice. My question is though, if Triss has a job, an obligation to the king, what are they doing spending a couple of months in White Orchard?
Ugh, for every three things this game does well it does one thing terribly. Maybe that's an exaggeration but that's what it feels like sometimes. The things that they messed up are messed up so badly that it really, really hurts. And it stands next to the rest of it that's so well done that it makes it all the worse. I both love and hate this damn game. :X
I agree, i am starting to have a love/hate relationship with the game because of how well some scenes are done, and yet it is never balanced or paced out with the other things that happen in the game.
I got it to work so I posted this to REDDORIGEN.

Sadly, she seems to have forgotten about this. Maybe she caught some of Geralt's amnesia. XP The overall import of choices from the W2 was handled poorly. The only big differences seem to be if you killed the La Valette kid (can't remember his name at present :X ). If you let him die the baroness won't even talk to you but if he lives she's the one you talk to during Dandelion's quest. I think she's also at the masquerade party. I can't remember if she's there regardless - I only noticed her during this last playthrough when he lived. That one and Letho obviously.
Saving Triss was a huge part of the second one and it isn't even really mentioned in this one.
I am what some might call a fairly religious man so, please accept this with that in mind...
We are just a month into this marathon...I do Pray that everyone of you in this Triss Army will continue to STAY FIRM and keep this thread going! I've had my moments of despair, especially earlier today but, we have to stay resolute!!! We need to make this a mini-forum family and be our brother's keeper in this.
I wish someone from CDPR would reach out to someone in this thread, make the effort to understand what the real issues are. I know from reading and following this as it has grown and keeping up with it daily, some on here are more than capable of summarizing and expressing out main points. It will just require a RED to make the first move!
And I just want to say, I am in on this for the long haul! If we have to wait three or four or even six months to get an answer...I hope you all don't get tired of my rabble-rousing (or my moments of depression). I think if the REDS don't tell us "NO" outright then we can only assume they mean "maybe"...lets just keep it going and as xE1NSTE1Nx2049 has said many times, "don't worry if a suggestion is difficult or impossible...you keep posting them. It's the REDS job to figure out if it can be done!" We have to keep the thread going with positive energy and constructive ideas.
Keep starving the trolls and embracing the members of Team Yen...we are all in this together! Go Team!

Like I said, there are things that could be fixed and would provide more satisfaction to us, but fixing/adding anything at this point would be great. Sure, the band-aid isn't going to help heal your arm but it might make you feel a little bit better in your head. Especially if it has a cartoon character or something on it.
It varies. I did a lot of Skellige and then when Yen gave me the Last Wish quest I went back to Novigrad to do the first quest (Pyres). After that I went straight back to Skellige and finished it up, main quests, side quests, Witcher contracts. Went to Novigrad and did everything possible except for A Matter of Life and Death. Went to Kaer Morhen and got Uma (didn't lift the curse though - I caved & couldn't stand waiting any longer to see Triss). Went back and did Triss's stuff and then continued on. I think it advisable to wait until Brothers in Arms though. That's probably what I will do next time. Bringing Triss to Kaer Morhen is one of the objectives after all. :X The whole ordering of the quests is strange. I wish we didn't have to alter it to fit our personal narrative but c'est la vie.
Exactly, great motivation. This thread has reached 510 pages and everone here has contributed and has stayed on topic despite all the 5100 posts, this thread has become like you said a marathon with great ideas. I have no idea how big this thread will get, but what matters is to keep it going with positive ideas and suggestions and hopefully members of CDPR see the great suggestions on here whether it is in the near future or even next year, this thread won't be ending any time soonI am what some might call a fairly religious man so, please accept this with that in mind...

I message the dev REDDorigen, hopefully he drop in and chat with us a little. I also awarded him lifetime membership in Team Triss club. Lol
Can't argue with that. But that wasn't my point. My point is that I think the reason the Triss thread has over 500 pages while the Yen thread barely has 50 pages is because the Triss fans (and even a lot of Yen fans) are unhappy with how Triss's arc was handled in TW3, which gives people a bigger motivation to make an account and come to the forums to post about it.
In contrary, Yen's arc in TW3 was just fine for the most part so there really isn't much to talk about regarding Yennefer nor is there much motivation for the Yen fans to make an account and start posting on the forums.
My thoughts are kind of wandering with this one so see if you can stick with me. :X
If players liked Triss in W2 and they change their mind in W3 and decide they want Yen, shouldn't that have some fallout? Like import your save either way and if you gave her the Rose in the second one and then crushed her heart in the third one, shouldn't the player have to sit through a scene where Triss is upset and asks him if everything they went through in the second one was all for naught? It would be a scene that makes the player feel the consequence of their choice. Like how some of us feel bad for rejecting Yen. There should be a fairly heavy scene that tugs at the heart strings.
I'm actually okay with the Rose being withered in the beginning - maybe it needs to be constantly around the love that made it bloom in the first place. The legend is pretty vague after all. What's not okay with me is the fact that nothing really ever comes of it. Showing it to her results in almost nothing. It doesn't come back to life. There isn't a chance to get a new one. There really ins't anything. I like that they did include it though - they got about halfway to something good but simply didn't follow through. It is sadly another missed opportunity. :X
Well, it is implied that Geralt and Triss did break up in the time since TW2... or that there wasn't even a real relationship between them in the first place. I agree, though, there should be more interaction between them regardless whether or not you choose to reconnect with Triss or not. Geralt and Yen get the chance to reminis about their past relationship, afterall.
