And I want more Yenneffer ! Pls, don't kill me.
We first and foremost fight for Triss to be equal to Yen in TW3, and for her content to be consistent.
And if a romance DLC is to be created due to our efforts, this means more Yen too - CDPR as a whole already proved themselves to prefer Yen over Triss (see the game itself) - so they'll never just create a romance DLC solely for Triss.
Guys, i'm impressed. I totally agree with you about the lack of Triss content, but don't you think there are bigger problems? I mean, i'd really like to see 700+ pages on these threads as well:

As much as i love, and hate, Triss i think that THE F* WILD HUNT and the "Deus ex machina" ending deserve a little more of explanation and development than the Geralt/Triss romance. You care more about b00bs than the last act/ending
I can understand the rational behind the ending feeling empty - it requires tons and tons of resources to simulate all the world states.
I get the reasoning behind the fact that that our choices from witcher 2 means very little - each witcher game was more self-contained than Bioware style continuum - they always preferred to tell a "new" story instead of continuing one.
But I cannot for the life of me, understand how they thought they can shun away a main character - someone who we built a relationship with for 2 games and just shove a new character into our faces and get away with it. This issue had nothing to do with resources or story telling when the game was still in planning stages, it was all about priorities:
Will the immersion be destroyed if Triss was part of UMA quest (regardless of your romance choice)?
Will the immersion be destroyed if we got a Triss vs Yen interactions between the two?
Will it be totally unthinkable to have her speak to us in the boat before the battle? Maybe to interact to Ciri? to address the Wish or the fact that it was broken?
Will it be impossible to imagine any character in the world actually reacting to the fact that Geralt choose to be with Triss instead of Yen, I mean - I would be so surprised! A person loving someone for years, who is bond by a powerful spell to them - then while the spell is still active - falls for someone else! This is part of the story of Geralt that we never got to explore.
And, except the UMA quest addition, all of these could have been achieved just by adding a couple of dialogue lines! the story itself could have stayed the same, just trading for it maybe 1-2 side quests development-wise.
