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

[msanx]

I've been thinking that I never thought of complaining about Triss content in witcher 2 but I can't seem to remember how much screentime she had and how much of it was related to romance.
I remember a scene where we woke up in a tent, then the rose of remembrance scene, a few quest related scenes in the first village, a tavern talk with Zoltan, Dandelion, Triss. Then we either choose Iorveth or Roche and Triss is pretty much missing the whole game until we save her then a few interactions with her again and the game ends. I really don't feel like the game had more Triss content than Witcher 3 but I feel this way because it's been a long while since I last played the game.
Does anyone remember?

The content for Triss was spread out in the Witcher 2 and i think the content overall is the same for both games. The problem with that is that the W2 was a 30 hour game while this one is over 100 hours, so Triss played a much bigger role in the second game. Even when Triss wasn't in the game, she was very important to the main storyline - think of it like how the first half of this game we were trying to find Ciri because she was important even though she wasn't really in the game yet.

There are others things too, such as the acknowledgement from other characters about Triss, if you chose Roche's path and have the opportunity to sleep with Ves, you can say you are taken at which point she refers to Triss as being his lover. If you chose Iorveth's path, you have that whole storyline about finding Triss where you meet up with some trolls, Phillipa talks about her and you can even find her rose of remembrance for a main quest. That is the actual problem is that this game doesn't treat Triss as a major character, it is like once you get to Kaer Morhen - they could of replaced Triss with someone else, but in the previous game, Triss was vital to the story, the game wasn't limited by the books to some extent and even when Triss wasn't on the screen, she was one of the main factors that kept the story moving forward.

Plus in the Witcher 2, every scene with her felt natural with the storyline, in this game her story arc is like a side story that isn't as connected and then there was a lack of dialogue with her afterwards. Also the most important thing to remember is that she actually had more dialogue in that game and didn't say Well? as much.

Oh yes guys, supports become big

A thing that I really don't understand is how this game could have so much detail and content when it comes to side quests and contracts with full choices and conversations that feel engaging and like main quests. But then have so little content in a romance with a main and very popular character like Triss.

I would take 15 minutes of romance dialogue with Triss than 10 hours of side quests easily.

Same here, there was so many pointless side activities (smuggler caches, hidden treasures where you read the damn note that got so repetitive etc), and i just kept thinking how much resources was spent on this type of thing and how much was copy/paste. The contracts and side quests were amazing as they spent as much time on the side quests as the main quests, but seriously how did they mess up with the romance arcs especially when romancing one of the two possible love interests doesn't fit with the storyline.You do Novigrad first because it is a lower level and that is how the Ciri stoy plays out, you romance Triss because you ain't gonna waste time saving it for later when she needs help now, and then when you do and head off to Skellige, Geralt purposely flirts with Yen, and later on you barely get any dialogue with Triss. So much detail for the open world, but not so much detail for certain characters.

I agree, I would have preferred a 50 hour game with well developed characters and interactions over a 100+ hour game with develop world but minimum character development and interaction.

Exactly a shorter game that spent more time on the characters, interactions and especially choices would of encouraged the same playing time as one big open world where the choices aren't as prevalent because of multiple playthroughs that someone would go through for the previous game. Witcher 2 may of been a 30 hour game but you would have to spend at least another 15-20 hours (or a whole new playthrough) to experience the other path and that means getting the whole storyline fleshed out - in other words it encouraged multiple playthroughs, yet i don't think many people here are going to replay this game to do the same side activites over and over again - not that they were bad it is just the lack of character development almost drives the player into doing certain repetitive side stuff that sometimes doesn't exactly immerse the player into the storyline. Besides CDPR needed more character development to make sure it wouldn't feel like a cameo role and it would lead naturally up until Geralt's.........

Does anyone remember?

The total screen time in Witcher 2 was not that long, but the character interactions and reaction to events were much better. For example, If you get drunk with the Blue Stripes and get the tattoo, Triss makes fun of you for it in the tavern. The Flotsam tavern is great because Triss, Dandelion, and Zoltan are there and interact with each other when you talk to them. In Witcher 3 this almost never happens- most of the characters are in isolation from one another. And even after Triss vanishes, other characters talk about her- Ves, Sile, Phillippa, and probably some others I don't remember all mention Triss in their Chapter 2 dialogues.

If you want a list of W2 scenes with Triss:

Prologue:
tent at game start
escorting Foltest and escaping the dragon
exit from the tower when you escape from prison
talking on the boat to Flotsam

Chapter 1:
trail to Flotsam and Scoiatel fight (complaining about Roche holding her like a sack of flour)
tavern with Zoltan and Dandelion
conversation about the Blue Stripes
meeting Sile and spotting the Kayran in the harbor
asking Cedric for information about the Kayran
investigating the wrecked boat and collecting mucus samples
elven garden and rose of remembrance
Triss using the megascope

Chapter 2: no Triss, but she is still part of the plot and mentioned by other characters
Sile and Phillipa talk about Triss (depending on path chosen)
Ves brings up Triss if you decline to sleep with her
the Troll whose wife left him because he wanted to keep Triss
Ambassador Fitz-Osterlen if you are on Iorveth path

Chapter 3
Nilfgaardian camp dungeon
Summit- before and during the event
Epilogue before/after meeting with Letho

In other words she as present in W2 as Yen is in W3.

I love the part where Philipa says "Don't you think its time to stop interfering in Ciri's life" - Mine and Geralts response at the same time= "No"
"We aren't a group of monsters you and drive off and swing your sword at" Geralt= "Sure you are, and yes I can"

Yep Geralt put Phillipa in her place

Hello everyone
I have a suggestion here and I hope you guys do it since I think this will be the best way to press for more Triss content and get a response from CDPR since we have no idea what is going on behind the scenes
So I would like everyone here to send an e-mail to them in the suggestions and type the following:


Triss's content feels incomplete. In so many situations there was supposed to be a romance scene/option that isn't there. Starting with Skellige to end Geralt's relationship with Yennefer before we progressed in Novigrad to meet with Triss didn't have an impact on Geralt's relation with Triss and didn't help initiate the early romance stage it was supposed to. The rose of remembrance is all dried up. We don't even have the option to have it as wilted or blooming after importing our saves from the previous games nor to talk to Triss about our ending our relationship with Yennefer. Our choices in TW1 and TW2 were to remain faithful to Triss. Chose her in TW1 and maintained neutral path. Chose to save her in TW2 and travelled half the world to be with her. A lot of us didn't even romance or sleep with anyone else and remained faithful, we expected more romantic moments and conversations with her.
During [Blindingly Obvious] we talked about living in Kovir together and she said she will tell us the details later and that was the last time we were able to talk to her.

I understand that you're trying to make the game more accessible for the new players who haven't played the previous games. I understand you're trying to resuscitate Geralt's relationship with Yennefer, but taking away from Triss and giving to Yennefer feels wrong. So much inconsistencies it's ruining my gaming experience playing TW3.
Are you going to add more Triss's content, new romantic conversations and quests with her or not?

You always considered what we wanted and you always gave it to us. This is a plea more than it's a demand or a request. Please, we beg you, fix this.

We need more Triss content, quests, romance and obviously above all to have her by our side in the moment where she should've been there, not Yennefer.

Triss and Geralt's happy ending deserves to be more than a 7 seconds 2D animated scene after the ending the game, she deserves better and we deserved better.

My apologies in advance if I'm wrong, but you name and style of writing is very similar to the guy trolling the thread a few days ago.

If you are not him, again my apologies.

If you are, then, well?

I agree with you wholeheartedly, there was so many moments where Triss should've been there, yet she wasn't. When Geralt brought Ciri to Kaer Morhen and Yennefer kissed him. Even after I ended my relationship with her.

After the Battle for Kaer Morhen Geralt running toward Yennefer after she fainted trying to keep the shield up ( I mean, what's up with that?!) Triss was standing down there and after all, we did chose her.

Getting the option to talk about ending Geralt's relationship with Yennefer with Lambert and Eskel and not with Triss?

Triss obviously liked Vesemir more than Yennefer did, she should've been the one there next to Geralt when they found Ciri sitting next to his body, not Yennefer.

The game ends for me at the beginning of chapter two after talking to Triss about moving together to Kovir and it will remain the end game for me until we get more Triss content.

After choosing Triss in TW1 and TW2 I expected us (The people who played the previous games) to have a difference path/option from the people who didn't, it would've felt rewarding if we had that, considering that some of us stayed loyal and faithful to Triss during the events of the previous games.

I didn't troll anywhere not to mention that this is just my 3rd post here and apology accepted
What did this guy do though just out of curiosity

 

[HardcoreSalmon]

Just thinking about Triss in Witcher 2 makes me really sad about the third game.

In act 3 of the second game after you rescue her you could say "I don't want to lose you again" and get worried when she leaves for just a few minutes. And in comparison at the end of the third game you are about to go into a fight where you might die and may never see each other again and all you get is Triss saying "Good Luck.".

 

[Riddlin]

Ok, I'll admit it! I want the main characters on TW3 to have a beer commercial scene...like an older version of themselves, years down the road...getting together and all having a good time. What I want is a scene like AFTER the credits roll in a Joss Whedon Avengers flick.

On the 20th Anniversary of Defeating the Wild Hunt, in an unnamed tavern in an unnamed rural town

Spoiler

Triss: Wait, on a stuffed unicorn...are you serious? *she digs her elbow into Geralt's ribs as she turns to face him* And why am I only now hearing this story?


Kiera: Oh from what Lambert has told me, *shes looking mischievous at Geralt* and from some personal experience, I know Poppa Geralt has a lot of stories he'd like to keep quiet!


Geralt: Mmh, little chance of that happening tonight though. *he pushes Triss off his side as they smile at one another*

Lambert: *returning with hands full of more drinks* Lighten up Geralt, relax a little, its is a big night!

Geralt: Mmh, as you say.

Triss: *whispers to Geralt* Are you nervous?

Lambert: *before Geralt can answer* Of course his is...how long's it been since you saw the young Empress?

Geralt: *thinking hard and with a sad look coming across his face* Twenty years.

Lambert: Damn, Wolf, you are a cold son of a bitch.

Triss: Yes, *glaring at Lambert* and you'd hate to be on his bad side of all nights wouldn't you!

Lambert: Oh yes, *slams another drink* I set up nights worrying about what Poppa Wolf might do to me.

Zoltan: Lambert, you're a prick. Always have been, always will be.

Lambert: Thanks. Good to see you too Zoltan.

Zoltan: Dandelion and Priscilla will be late, they will arrive tomorrow...he offers his apologies. Have I missed anything? *grabbing one of Lambert's mugs* Anyone hear from Ciri or that husband of her's? *Geralt cringes and Triss puts a hand on his shoulder*

Lambert: Well, there was this one story about a stuffed un <oof!!!> Keira's turn to elbow a witcher*

Keira: That's enough, just drink. *she patted him on the head as everyone laughs* And word is Ciri will be traveling alone this trip.

Ciri: *arriving completely unnoticed* Not entirely alone AND, If I'd known we'd be taking turns hitting Lambert, I would've gotten here sooner. *smiles*

*everyone stands and while a mix of bows and courtesies ensues Geralt rushes up to Ciri and bear hugs the Nilfgaardian Empress*

Geralt: Ciri! *lifting her off the ground and nearly crushing her before he comes to his senses, setting her back on her feet...but she doesn't let go for a long moment. When she does everyone can see neither are dry eyed* Excuse me, Your Imperial Majesty.

Ciri: *hits Geralt on the arm* Two decades you've waited to so say that? Is that all you've got to say?"

Geralt: Well, you know I was never one for the pomp and circumstance much...

Ciri: Oh shut up! *hugging Geralt again she whispers something in his ear and Geralt replies back*

Geralt: *nodding at last he moves out of the way so the others can press in to hug Ciri*

*Geralt watches the little girl who he'd trained at Kaer Morhen talk with the others. To him she looked just as she did three decades earlier, his little Cirilla with the wooden sword, poofy shirt and the old boots Eskel had made for her. It was then that he sensed Triss leaning on his shoulder*

Triss: Geralt, you ok?

Geralt: I am Triss...*nodding his head* No, not ok...I am great! *he leaned down and kissed her*

Yen: *from behind Geralt and Triss* Honestly Geralt, *both of them jump* are you just going to stand there gawking at Ciri or are you going to come over here and meet your grandchildren?

Triss: *jumps and spins around, giddy as a school girl, clapping her hands silently as she looks at Yen*

Geralt: Uhm...

*Yen stands in her best black and white, dressed to the nines holding two small bundles, wrapped in black and gold...Yen looks very awkward as she waits for Geralt to respond*

Ciri: *smiling and pushes Geralt toward Yen, she winks at Triss who looks like she might explode from the anticipation* Come on Poppa Geralt, time to meet the future rulers of Nilfgaard!

*with Yen still holding the babies Ciri pulls back the black and gold blankets showing off the new babies held with in*

Ciri: This is Lara...Lara this is your poppa Geralt.

Geralt: *looking awkward but misty eyed reaches down and touches the little girls face*


Yen: That's enough Geralt, your touch may be too much for her. *she smiled at him and Triss, Keira has a knowing look on her face as she nods*



Ciri: And Poppa Geralt, this little guy is [FONT=&quot]Vesemir...*Geralt offers the baby boy his finger and the baby squeezes it on cue, hard. Geralt smiles as a single tear runs down his cheek* [/FONT]

Nice stuff but it be more amazing if Triss figure out a cure for sorceress and witcher infertility during that time. A little Geralt- Triss be awesome.

After choosing Triss in TW1 and TW2 I expected us (The people who played the previous games) to have a difference path/option from the people who didn't, it would've felt rewarding if we had that, considering that someone of us stayed loyal and faithful to Triss during the events of the previous games.

Just to reply to the last part. I don't think that would work because PC is the only platform where you can import all 3 games and it would screw over the console players. They can't import and only decide the major choices in the previous games at the start of the game.

What I definitely think should have happened is to make it a choice whether you break up with Triss in between games or not. Doing it offscreen without player decision or explanation was definitely not the way to do it.

Just thinking about Triss in Witcher 2 makes me really sad about the third game.

In act 3 of the second game after you rescue her you could say "I didn't want to lose you again" and get worried when she leaves for just a few minutes. And in comparison at the end of the third game you are about to go into a fight where you may might die and may never see each other again and all you get is Triss saying "Good Luck.".

Yeah, comparing the two back to back makes the absence all too much glaring. Heard somewhere that the lead writer on W2 left for CP2077, so maybe that's why.

I guess the choice to save her or not (which is in this game) could have played a part in that. In fact I was hopping it did and that's why Saskia was still mindcontrolled when I started W3.

In the end though, it was just one more way for them to railroad us into Yen. I do understand why they had to, in a way, maybe.

I never attempted to play the game on other platforms, just on PC. However, I perfectly understand what you're getting at and I find it reasonable and agreeable. If it was done that way, we still would've had a choice, sadly, it's not what's happening here.

My apologies in advance if I'm wrong, but you name and style of writing is very similar to the guy trolling the thread a few days ago.

If you are not him, again my apologies.

If you are, then, well?

Nahh, i don't think it's him
