I don't have an issue with Yen being there. There are no logical reasons why Triss shouldn't be there, nor her romance being able to be referenced.

We've discussed this a couple time but there isn't a 'real' answer, only speculation...
I think it has its roots in two sources, CP2077 and the effort CDPR put into TW3:TWH retail box sets. As soon as they do TW3:EE they would basically have to recall all the originals. Not REALLY recall them but, why buy the old original then have to download 60GB of game from the web? They spent a LOT to make this final game really special. Gave the buyers of the various special editions and collector's editions something WORTH the cost! PLUS, the reprinting of a new EE box will cost, publishing it will cost AND the distribution will cost.
That last point all directs ones attention to point 1a from above: Cyberpunk 2077. By the end of our two year cycle, CDPR will be foaming at the bit to get EVERYone away from TW and onto the new CP2077 projekt! Also, every penny they spend on TW3 is a penny they don't have to spend on their NEW favorite baby!
However, several things could rise-up to complicate CDPR's grand plan...first, 4 mil copies sold in 14 days! IF they can sell another 4 mil by the Holiday season? I think the plan gets a little more shaky. IF they sell 90% of their physical copies in the next year...I think we will assuredly get an EE!!!
It is all about the money my friends! If CDPR can make enough cash from this cow before its time to slaughter her...they might actually do a LOT of things we don't anticipate right now. WHO knows what they will do if TW3 threatens to unseat Skyrim in less than 24 months! 4mil copies in 14 days? Skyrim only 'shipped' 7 mil copies in the first month...and shipped is not a sale in-and-of-itself does make!
Save your time lol seems like a waste of effort explaining to this guy, all he has done is come on here, say we are all wrong and ignore our responses.
Keeps saying we are anti Yen, when I actually like Yen. Difference is she has enough of a presence, whereas as Triss is barely refered to and has little to no interaction with other characters when there were plenty of opportunities to do so.
Example: she is in Novigrad, so why the hell does she have no interaction with Zoltan and Dandilion, they are friends aswell and spoke during Witcher 2.

It's one part they can bypass as it could be explain by the Djinn spell. Obviously I would love to have a big update with enhanced Triss relationship from the start to the end of the game but if they have to choose It's not the biggest issue IMO even if it's disapointing of course.
I fully expected Kaer Morhen to the be the moment where both romances and fallout got there moment in the sun before Ciri arrived. Sadly it wasn't and hence its the portion of the game i dislike most. I'd consider the kiss to have to count(as it must add to the yen romance experience)even if it's like a slap across the face with cold dead fish for Triss romancers. A bit like the forced flirting earlier must help the Yen romance.
Part of me refuses to believe the idea that they ever entertained removing choice from the game. I really hope there is a desire and an ability to fix things somewhat.
And i will understand it. Because they have reasons to think in that way. And i have my reasons to not mess with mods. I've already told you about them.
"HEY...get those goats off the bridge..."
Don't draw him out by offering scraps!
Sorry didn't check the name of who i was responding to. Fixed it going forward.
Well... fine then. At least you are consistent.
But we wont see eye to eye on this matter.
Friends, I urge you to promote the hashtag #MoreTriss Twitter. Do not forget to leave a link to the forum, so that everyone can vote for adding content to our beloved Triss.
For the record I agree with you, I love mods especially in Bethesda games, its what makes them good.
But lets put this debate to rest, some people just don't like modding their games.
Back to topic, CDPR please show us you are aware of this thread!!!
Yes sir...I got bit by this trollolo HARD yesterday...I mean in the south we have a nice fishing reference when you bite on something like that: "I Fell for that: hook, line AND sinker!" In my defense, it was early and I hadn't tangled with one on THIS board...friends helped me figure it out!
EDIT: After getting slammed yesterday for assuming a poster was a "HE" @vcook10 (my wife is STILL laughing...makes it all the more fun!) I led with a "Yes sir..." here. I never learn huh
edit EDIT: Does anyone know if there is an "Ignore User" feature on this forum? I've looked in the usual places but I couldn't find one. I know a LOT of forums offer that...it would be GREAT in this case

Don't forget about Fallout 4. It's a beast. I hope it will not steal much money from CDPR.
Yeah...8 mil by Christmas MIGHT be tough considering the last numbers I saw on Skyrim was 20mil at the 4 year mark. If TW3 could grab 8-12 by the end of 2016, or even if projections showed that kind of movement, we might still get something 'special' as a parting gift

Really don't use twitter but, if you can create the hash tag we can retweat and follow to show our support.
I wouldn't be so sure about that. Part of it depends on resources like dialog in the game that was never used. In Skyrim, for example, Lydia, the first follower, had additional dialog that modders could use to flesh her out a little. Even if there isn't with Triss, a good modder could piece together resources to fix the 'Well' problem easily without introducing any holes because it's simply a response, not part of any quest.
There are some very talent modders out there that can rival what the devs can do, and there's plenty of them in the Nexus community who have released some imaginative stuff. Being an RPG, TW3 is all about players making choices and contributing to this fantasy world, modding opens that up even more.
Sounds like you bury our hopes in a deep grave. At least small DLC, damn... This game touches you.We've discussed this a couple time but there isn't a 'real' answer, only speculation...

Oh no...you misunderstand me. I have a LOT of faith in the continued sales of TW3. I just don't know if it will be enough to get CDPR to rethink their plan, their 'road-map' for the company.
I've said a couple of time though, if they can make enough profit to justify an EE or a 3rd or more Paid Expansion, I firmly believe CDPR will do it. The question is, how much profit needs to be made to make it worth slowing down CP2077? CDPR is a company dedicated to making great games...that works in the customer's favor! They are also about making money...that TOO works in the customer's favor.
In the end, I don't think they will leave cash out there unharvested. But we have to understand, a 1 to 1 ratio won't make it worth it. They would need probably a 2 to 1 type investment to get their attention and I don't have a clue how they figure that out.
I've done my part, I have an expansion pass already paid for and I will buy every bleedin thing they put out for this...I've even went back and bought TW1 & TW2 because I love this game so much! I plan on buying another copy of TW3 for my wife as soon as they announce their intention to 'fix' the FEW glaring issues we have pointed out in this and other discussion threads.
