Will it be Geralt Merigold or Triss of Rivia ?
I dunno but that's funny. Geralt Merigold sounds funnier. Like a flower. :lol:
Seeing how they will work on TW3 for the next 2 years, it gives us a solid base for hope that they will add more content including not only Triss, but also Yen and Ciri because that is something the fans clearly want. My optimism has grown since the first day, because more and more people come here with the same issues and this thread became much bigger than I originally expected it to be.
I agree. Seeing all the people eventually find their way here is a good sign indeed. I think as more and more people finish the game, they are all left with this sort of an empty feeling. For many possible reasons, and I'm sure it differs from person-to-person, but for me it was the final act and the Triss stuff. They attempt to resolve the empty feeling by coming to the forums to see what others are saying. A great many of them find their way right here to this thread. It is a place for people to just vent, show their support for Triss, cite specific examples, list possible fixes. Very happy to be a part of this little "community"
Thanks to everyone that has come on here to support us. We can affect some real honest to god change here. Keep it up, people!
Also, very nice picture. Triss is indeed quite beautiful. :heart: :wub: :heart:
I just learned how to post images, so I will post an image because; reasons.
Nice picture here too. Is that from your game, and if so why are you still sporting that armor in Novigrad?
I agree it looks cool but isn't sort of irrelevant at like level 13 or whatever level you're supposed to be when you hit Novigrad? :X
I still believe they need to fix the major holes in the triss romance BEFORE they add more content for both romance as some of you guys want. All the KM stuff, especially that stupid kiss, the fact the triss turns into a npc post novigrad, the fact that you cant tell other main npcs that you are with triss now and not with yen anymore ecc.
At first i thought when that kiss happened that some sort of cat-fight will take place at KM and you had to calm them down or something but nope, triss just act passively and accept the kiss after the lighthouse.
Such a hole in the writing is unacceptable for me
I agree that this is the priority issue. I think the topic started to veer off-topic slightly (which is okay at times) and it just ended up with possible future content. The OP is our main summary of the issues and I doubt that any of this will make it into it. Still, keeping the conversation going, keeping this thread close to the top, is most important to me right now. As long as it all comes back to the Triss inconsistencies eventually, it shouldn't be too big of an issue.
Yeap we definitely need more scenes that acknowledge your love interest whoever that may be(well only Triss because Yen already gets the acknowledgement even if you break up with her)and some interaction with other main characters like Ciri so you can get feedback from them based on your choices.It goes without saying that we need more Triss scenes just before and after the Battle at Kaer Morhen and also before the final mission instead of the famous "Good luck".
I think a priority needs to be some interaction before and after the major battles. Big, pivotal, dangerous moments where it's unsure whether or not you will make it. Would have provided some very nice characterization and recognition of your choices. Having Ciri espouse some of her feelings, a quick conversation or two, would also go a long, long way toward validating your choice.
Maybe we should list specific scenes/moments that could really benefit and list them in order of "bang for your buck". I could compose such a list and post it here for you guys to comment on. Probably sometime today.
For example Lambert and Eskel, when they were drinking together in Khaer Morhen more or less still think you're with Yennefer. I felt like I chose the wrong girl the whole time after Novigrad. And it sucked. They should have included a talk with Yennefer about how you are with Triss now and stuff. I don't know exactly what but I want SOMETHING.
Yup. I quoted the exact conversations in that scene. Very lackluster on Geralt's part. If you go with Yen he asks them if they will ever lay off her and they conclude by saying "To Geralt and Yennefer! Happily ever after!" or something like that. If you rebuff Yen & choose Triss all you can say is "We're not a couple anymore." You don't get the opportunity to set them straight. Eskel asks if you want to talk about it and all Geralt says is "No. I want to drink." When he said that I wanted to pull him through the TV and strangle him! :X
I also wrote out a little dialogue for a possible conversation between Yen and Geralt about their breakup. I felt next to no closure with the way it played out. My dialogue doesn't do their complex relationship the justice it deserves but it is a heck of a lot better than what we got. If you want to check it out and missed it the first time around, it's back a bit (post #1483).
