Congratulations to the Order of the Flaming Triss, you did it guys!
Is this the first case of CDPR acting on a story based fan request?

Hey, just a quick question, hope you have time to answer but if not, understandable...this place turned kinda nutty of late...
Should we continue as usual here or should be tamp it down? Any reason to keep working the 'problem' anymore?
And thanks so much for stopping by when you did!

Give us a kiss!
seeing what you said made me feel so happy and I jumped so high I hit the chandelier, I can't help but feel you're responsible for that.
Not "romancing characters", but "characters". As it happens Triss is important to the game's setting. Important by CDPR's own admission, since they were the ones to introduce her romance option in the first place, even though this whole game saga could just as easily been only about Yennefer. So spending resources on her, would not be giving in to some demands of a silly romance, but rather giving a proper send off to a character that was given so much time, and then written of with a silly "well?".
I agree that there are many characters in the final chapter that could use some more game-time, but as far as spending resources on someone, Triss is far from the worst choice.
First of all, the whole "Yen is Geralt's true love". Not really. Not anymore at least. I mean sure, Sapkowski definitely wrote the two of them as a pair that belong with each other, but time moved forward, storyline moved forward. Characters changed, their motives changed, their priorities changed. Geralt is no longer cannonicaly bound by destiny with Yen, due to the Djiin subplot.
So the only thing that's left is whether or not it's really "in character" for game Geralt to return to Yen, couse she's the one he really loves. And that is highly debatable. First of all, just the fact that Gerlat had new adventures with Triss and more chances for relationship with her to deepen and bloom over the three games, would be reason enough to contest the "he belongs with Yen" theory. Just becouse Triss was only a fleeting romance in the books, doesn't mean that he couldn't have started to care for her more in the events of the game, when there was more occasions for the two of them to bond. The same way that people in real life are not bound for each other unconditionally, and connections between people can raise and fall over time (becouse again, the whole "bound by destiny" theme is no longer relevant).
Especially since the Geralt-Yen relationship was always a little bit toxic. That what made it interesting. They were very much in love, but it was one of those "we care for each other, but we cannot stand each other over prolonged periods of time". It was a relationship of contant intellectual bickering and one-upsmanship, of Geralt chasing after Yennefer and her almost always keeping him at arms lenght in one way or another. Of Geralt seeking Yen's approval at least partially couse he felt, she was "better" than him, and her not dissuading him of this feeling by being constantly so aloof. It's all greatly romantic, but it's also one of those things that doesn't have much chance of succeding. As such it's not unthinkable that over time, and in right circumstances, Geralt might grow to prefer the real, unconditional affection that Triss gave him, rather than constantly chasing after a woman, who in the end might always treat him as secondary to her own ambitions.
And finally, further exploring the romance with Triss in future patches/DLC's would not be a case of "CDPR caving in and listening to casuals", but rather a case of CDPR properly felshing out THEIR OWN IDEAS. Couse it was CDPR who came up with the Triss romance in the first place. The first Witcher game could have just as easily been written with Yen reuniting with Geralt after his "ressurection" instead of Triss. The Witcher 3 could have just as easily been written so that Yen was the only romance option, with Geralt realising they are destined for each other. But that's not the case. CDPR decided to put the option for Triss in the game, and to treat it seriously as well.
And by the way, personally I also think that from a storytelling and drama standpoint Geralt belongs with Yennefer more than Triss. I think the Yen-Geralt relationship in the novels (however toxic it was), was too strong and skillfully written, to be overwritten by the short fling with Triss in W1 and W2. And yet on my first playthrough of Witcher 3, I went with Triss. Becouse even though I knew Geralt's history with Yen, the short storyline with Triss over the last two games made me care for the character enough that I went against my "inner storyteller". And if a player witnessing the story can choose Triss over Yen in the spur of the moment, then it's not unthinkable that so could Geralt.
Or maybe I have some unhealthy thing for readheads. That's also a possibility

Ohh...piss... now I feel guilty, thats rough, sorry man, my best wishes to ur wife.Thanks...its my wife. More tests and meds first but...well, THIS news didn't make her feel any better but I am feeling oddly guilty at the moment...
Just feel so giddy 'bout the good news in this thread.:dizzy:
If I had to guess, I would say we have two issues; 1) what can be fixed 'easy' and quicker and 2) what will take more time and resorces
I think all they are talking about here is the quick band-aid. Doesn't mean they won't revisit later farther down the road...keep the faith and hope alive my brother!

Please add an extra sexual encounter/Erotic scene to Triss... Its only fair since Yen has 2 and Triss's first erotic scene in the lighthouse is censored.
Edited to fix typos.

It worked, thank you! I'd really love some additional dialogue or content on the Triss situation. This was such an amazing game...I think I'm going to have to back and play it again ... I just worry because I don't want to accidentally end up with the story where Ciri dies, because that would upset me greatly after the first ending I got in which she became a Witcher.
You mean sexual encounters , not scenes about romance...
Triss has more than just one romance scene in the game.
i have to agree with sch, triss has many romantic scenes, i feel ike people are getting mixxed up with straight up "GETTING IT ON" and lovely romantic goodnes!
