We do. Geralt briefly addresses it in one of the later books. He basically wished for Yennefer to be his beloved.
I didn't know that wish can be undone in the games do. Interesting. When/where do you get that option?

The favor Yennefer asks of you while on Skellige after performing the Necromancy on Skjall. She wants to break the wish using a Djinn of her own.

I know it was a half-joke and half-compliment. He is able to express neutrality in his posts even if he isn't neutral himself.
Nicely done.That Djinn spell can be broken. Therefore Geralt does not have to be with Yen forever. That was the entire point of breaking it.
Edit: seems like someone explained it before me. lol!
Actually Geralt behaves "lovey dovey" around Yen before the spell is broken. Once it's broken, it is Yen who kisses Geralt and gets angry because she still has feelings. Geralt doesn't have the dialogue options to admit anything other than that he and Yen aren't together anymore but his behavior is different.
Overall, my Geralt fell for Triss before the Djinn spell was even broken.

Love for Triss is stronger then Djinns spell. Mine Geralt before unbound felt the same - only Triss is his love.
You have a good point there. People change and Geralt too.
I remember we have a dialouge options with Lambert " we are not couple anymore" when he ask you about Yen
I wish people would stop say "my Geralt". This isn't a BioWare RPG. Geralt is never our character, he's Sapkowski's character first and foremost, we just get to decide which path of life Geralt walks.
I get what you mean when you say "my Geralt' but it just sounds wrong to me because The Witcher isn't a traditional roleplaying game where we get to play a blank-slate character and get to decide who our character is (which is what I actually like about The Witcher, I hate playing blank-slate characters).
As for me, "my" Geralt is the same Geralt as he always was in the books. I guess i"m fucked because I'm such a fan of the books. I can't play Geralt any other way than as Geralt from the books. With every choice I make in the games I think "what would Geralt from the books do?". It's fun to play that way but also quite limiting. I'm not sure if i'll ever be able to romance Triss in The Witcher 3. It would probably feel wrong to me.

@luc0s this is entirely your prerogative, but based on your earlier posts it sounds like you are trying to convince that we are wrong for playing how we want to play. Again, personal preference - you like Yen and we like Triss. Let's leave it at that and let us please try to steer the conversation back on track.
That's not at all what I'm trying to do.
All I'm saying is that Geralt's isn't your character and he has an entire history and certain characteristics that will never change. I thought the spell between Yennefer and Geralt was one of those things, but I didn't realize yet that the spell can be broken in The Witcher 3.
That said, obviously within the freedom that CDPR gives us you are free to choose and do what you want. Your playthrough isn't any less valid than mine.
Book Geralt + Djin bond always choose Yen
Book Geralt + Game Geralt + Djin bond broke don't know what he will choose (depend on us of course
)

That's true. But I'd argue that once you've been together for so long under a spell, the spell basically becomes your new reality. Lifting the spell will make no difference, at least not for me.
But I am glad that CDPR thought about the spell from The Last Wish and gave us a way to lift it so that you Triss lovers can truly be together with Triss.
Yeah I get your trying to say, but the choices that we make, and more importantly the consequences of our choices are what makes this game freaking amazing. We were given the choice to be any kind of Geralt we want to be, and we as players chose to be the Geralt that fell in love with Triss and broke it off with Yen. What really bums us off is that the game regularly tries to make us feel like we've made the wrong choice due to the lack of Triss content, which is totally unfair on our part, because, mainly on just personal preference, we don't get interaction and content on our choice regarding Triss. Most of us here wouldn't even want to have another playthrough of the game because we were so affected that the choices we've made regarding Triss wasn't really given any importance. I hope you get what I'm trying to say, because this is the reason why most of us are here trying to make CDPR realize that we as fans should get to see the consequences of our actions, and in a sense see the effects of these actions on the lives of the people we've all grown to love.
Almost 300 posts today.
This is what I am trying to say - the Geralt we play as is a different person than at the beginning of the games. He started that one, quite literally as a blank slate. Everything that has happened since then has incited real development in him. His history with Yen (pre-amnesia), his history with Triss (post-amnesia), and no magic influencing his mind, means we the player are free to choose whoever we want.
This circles back to the original point of this thread. If we the player prefer Triss, is it fair that we don't get as fulfilling of a story? Especially since it is the last one.
Actually and this is according to the game, the spell really amounts to nothing in the end. For all we know the djin could be just lying he just says "blah, guardf, wharever." so he gets released. Unless Yen is well versed in Djin
My point is that it is clear that Yen still loves Geralt and Geralt still loves Yen, he can either tell her so and he can asshole and break her heart.
Same with the scene in the port, he loves Triss and he can decide to tell her that or not. For reference of their situation, look youtube W2 rose of remembrance.
Problem is if you let your heart rule all your decisions, well, let's just say the girls won't be as accommodating.

Imagine how us Yennifer fans felt for the past 7 years. At least you Triss fans have had THREE games with tons of Triss content. Us Yennefer fans didn't get to see Yennefer until now in TW3.
So before you complain about the lack of Triss content, please think about this fact.
Not that I would be against CDPR adding more Triss content. Obviously not. I like Triss. I just like Yennefer more (a lot more).
This is essentially what happens. I saw a video for it. Yen she says something to the effect of "I thought I'd look at you and not feel a thing but nothing's changed". You then get the chance to reciprocate your feelings if you do choose her.
Yup. Our choice doesn't have much of an impact on the later parts of the game. That's why we're here. You said it pretty well:
Especially strange since in a game so heavily focused on player choice and the consequences of those choices, this one seems to fall flat. I personally think they nailed almost every other major choice though. Just a little more polishing to this one and I will have almost nothing to complain about.
