I think the slide does set the tone for the rest of their lives on top of the fountain conversation. I can see why the interactive epilogues focus on Ciri. I'm not saying i'd not have enjoyed if she'd had an extra line in the interactive epilogue(though i was glad she was there) but it's not an particularly issue i'm critical of. It's her Kaer Morhen & forced Yen romance focus that gets me extremely annoyed and her relative silence in the final Skellige portion to a degree too.
Thank you. I'm going to write another sometime today.They just help to give a little bit of closure - I know it's not the same as seeing it unfold on screen in front of you, but it helps a bit. :X
At least it gives us a good feeling as we can imagine how it could be. And that alone is a good thought so far
Ohhh and by the way I got some interesting stuff here while helping Ciri in Novigrad:
First of all Ciri knows about Geralt being a "womanizer". They just went to the tavern to visit "Bea" a friend of Ciri who helped her finding Dandelion.
Bea said that Ciri told a lot of stories about Geralt. That he helped Ciri so many times she cant count them and makes her laugh. But other woman he... and then Ciri closed the conversation
While leaving the tavern there was another interesting conversation between Ciri and Geralt:
G: "This Bea.."
C: "Hm?"
G: "She seems to be a nice woman.."
C:"Ohhh Geralt.. u are terrible !"
Was quiet funny to see that Ciri knows about that "every woman wants Geralt" story.
After that Ciri told Geralt that she didnt want to contact Triss because of the Witchhunters. She didnt want Triss to get in trouble and thats why she didnt try to contact her. And Triss didnt know that Ciri was in Novigrad at this time so there was no way for Triss to help Ciri.
Just wanted to clarify that
Yeah you get one additional piece of dialogue, I reloaded 3 hours back just to get it. Considering that dialogue is about 20% of the dialogue we have with her
Where do you find them?
I won't start another play through for a while (probably), but it would be nice to know.
Wait, it was already answered. I should be renamed to Captain Slow.

He is exaggerating, it's a 1 minute scene. It's a nice scene though. Check this post for directions.
Well?
Thanks for the support
We can use all the help we can get. Your views are shared by almost all of us here.This is definitely one of the suckier parts. As you said, if I broke it off with Yen and picked Triss over her, I would think the last thing she would want to do is kiss him. Even if it is a heat of the moment kind of thing, I don't think it is in keeping with Yen's character (cool and calm in all circumstances) and it is not in keeping with the choices we made as the player. I don't want to kiss Yen, I would rather kiss Triss. If that wasn't an option, I would rather there not be any kissing in that scene. Only include the kiss if we did romance Yen or if we romanced both. Those are the only times when that makes sense.
Yup. Lack of reactivity. Except for those characters, everyone else just assumes you are still with Yennefer. Not cool CDPR. Not cool. This is why we feel that the game pushes us toward Yennefer even if we have already broken it off with her.
Having Ciri remain on the sidelines for this is HUGE missed opportunity, in my opinion. As Phillipa states, it must make her uneasy. She would probably have some interesting observations on the whole love triangle. Sadly, she just stays to the side and does her own thing. It's an important thing, no doubt about that, but it is not the only thing happening.
I think the bolded line is about the only thing in your post i disagree with. I think Triss is dishonest at the start of the romance because she's in love with him and will do anything to make her dreams a reality. As you say by the Witcher 3 i think she's trying to do the noble thing or is resigned to losing to Yen despite her feelings.
But yeah everything else spot on, disbelieving disappointment at Kaer Morhen handling up to and including kiss and the wider lack of reactivity/acknowledgment of the relationship. lf they just revised Kaer Morhen i'd be more tolerant of other shortcomings.
U plan on writing a book about a new witcher adventure? :cheers:
Would give u my money for such ideas :wub:
The thing is.. while reading those dialogues like those from @xE1NSTE1Nx2049 I always imagine how perfectly Triss and Geralt would say that with their personality. Everytime a great feeling
Appreciate the kind words! Thought of writing some fan-fiction of a post-TW3 Triss ending, where Geralt+friends still have adventures. Something like a series of connected chapters. The Triss+Geralt ending works so well for this because it's open-ended, and their characters allow us to assign new ideas or interests allowing them to branch into new stories in a believable way. Money? I'd do it for free!
Nice little dialogue.
In Kovir. We can say he came to visit. If I made it into a story, Priscilla (sp?) and he are opening a small chain of establishments...giving him an excuse to travel around, constantly showing up (conveniently or otherwise) in them. Or even better, he's there to drag Geralt off because he's getting hitched tomorrow, which would require shenanigans, an adventure, with a twist. Or whatever. It's an open ended idea.
If they were going to add something like this, it would only make sense to include one for Yen too. I don't want the Yennefer-fans to get shafted either.
Fully agree. They could add a Yen one, and the alone one too.
Whatever works in the end:cheers:

Is it just me that thought there was more to Bea/Ciri than friendship?
I'm glad they added the Ciri line about why she didn't contact Triss. I still think the excuse is a bit weak and i'd have preferred her to be out of town like Zoltan.
Around here I believe in the bushes, WITCHER CSI SENSES will help you find it around the broken remains of the bed.
It needs to be picked up before U.M.A is finished, then you can give Triss them after the Philippa quest in Novigrad I believe.
Because... 1). You can't talk to her in Kaer Morhen when she does show up.
2). You can't talk to her after the battle because she leaves.
3). "Well?"
Thank you so much! got another 3 sentences from Triss now
There was a certain dialogue option in the sauna also lol
I know what you are saying and I know your biggest problem is Kaer Morhen and on. It's mine too. I'm merely supporting that no option is out of bounds to try to fix this. If they didn't touch Kaer Morhen and added something to the end, it, in my opinion, would go a long way toward making the whole thing feel more fulfilling. Wouldn't fix it, but it would help.
I know that. Like I said, I am fine with Triss being put to the side, and in this case it is explained by the narrative. No reason she couldn't have made a comment about it later after Kaer Morhen. Like on Bald Mountain after the fight with Imlerith when they are just sitting there.
C "So what's going on with you and Yennefer?"
G "Nothing anymore. I'm with Triss now."
C "Really? Triss? And this is something you want?"
G "Mmhmm. We've 'bonded' since you've been away."
Even something simple like that. But Ciri doesn't seem to care. Doesn't fit her character in my opinion either. She's very caring and she definitely would care about what's going on in Geralt's life. What sort of tracks he's laying down for his future. I don't know. Everything else about this game is awesome but they missed a lot of opportunity for character development, inclusion, and connection. Which is sad because the characters are so compelling and so well written. I guess I just expected a bit more on this side of things. Triss especially. I think she got hit hardest of all. The reason I'm on this thread.
It's my signature though, fool... :dry:
Cirilla got a serious relationship with a woman in the books. So yeah, she is bi.
Well(?) good luck!
Sorry guys, just couldn't resist. I'll be more constructive tomorrow. I promise!
