Hey guys!
Don't want to bring any negatively or put the Reds down because The Witcher 3 is an amazing game but I just visited CDPR's Facebook page and saw a video that was labelled "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt - Launch Trailer ("Go Your Way")" and although I enjoyed the trailer I couldn't help but notice how biased it was in regards towards Yen > Triss as there was only a single moment towards the end where Triss was shown for a split second like all of the other secondary characters (Dandelion, Zoltan, Phillipa, Radvoid, etc). Maybe it's just me and maybe Triss wouldn't of fit well into the video.. Hmm
Here is the link if you wish to veiw it for yourself : http://youtu.be/hBoCRYX6Vq0
I will forgive CDPR if they add more Triss content in upcoming Expansion packs. If they create a whole new location in Kovir and we get to see our house in Pont Vanis, everything will be forgotten.

Thanks for link yeah i saw it a while back, looking at it now i just assumed that Triss had a lack of content in that video because she had a lack of content in the game - it kind of fits. Ok jokes aside, i love this game and i don't intend to be rude at all to the people who created an amazing experience for us to enjoy. Now it looks like Triss was put into the role of secondary characters (Dandelion, Zoltan, Phillipa etc) instead of the main characters (Geralt, Ciri, Yen) and that is what it so disappointing that they went from being huge fans of Triss to make her a main character in the previous games to shift the story and focus to other characters - this might of not even been a problem if there was another game coming but as of now, this is what we get.
Did any of you bros come across this scene @ 1:58 or figured out how to trigger it?
But you do remember how she collapsed in Witcher 2 because of the shield she summoned?
Not to mention that Triss being in the game and her romance arc at the start felt like it was a "we are trying to create a love triangle, but ultimately it is intended for Geralt and Yen to be together and that Triss is to add to the drama of their relationship"

It seems like they created two version of Triss. I really think they started creating the game with Triss as one of the main character "A role more presents in the game"
(The deleted scenes can make a big doubt about it) Then they decided to totally recreated the storyline of the game,
and they've put Triss has a not so important character. Maybe for pleasing the books readers.
Also she looks a little more old on the deleted scenes than in the Scenes we got in the game.
I agree. This is one of the most important decisions in the whole franchise. Devs like: "On the one hand we have beautiful and adorable femme fatale Yennefer of Vengerberg, the true love. On the other hand we have uhh... forgot her name... she has red hair and stuff... yeah. Good luck by the way."

If they chose to satisfy the book readers and the new players and not the people who's been playing the game since The Witcher 1 came out in 2007, they made a huge mistake.
I felt the same way too. I felt like they took away from Triss's content and added to Yennefer's, in both conversations and romance.
Triss was one the reasons The Witcher 2 assassin of kings became that famous and they will do good to remember that.
Not sure if it's appropriate to add this in here or not, but
Shani got tossed aside (she may appear in the expansion however)
When should the next update be?
Not to mention that Triss being in the game and her romance arc at the start felt like it was a "we are trying to create a love triangle, but ultimately it is intended for Geralt and Yen to be together and that Triss is to add to the drama of their relationship", of course romancing Triss was put there to please the Triss fans instead of making it a vital part of Geralt's most personal story - how can it be such a personal story when the woman Geralt is going to spend the rest of his life with barely gets any interactions in the second half and we don't see much interaction in front of us? are we suppose to use our imagination and assume Triss said more than "good luck" before the final battle?
It is just like you said that it looks like the devs put her into the game for the Triss fans and not necessarily there because she had a vital part to play. I don't know what the devs intentions were towards Triss but i hoped that they didn't go with the "now that we have Ciri and Yen back, we don't need to focus on Triss anymore".
REDs can introduce her as another LI to Geralt. So there is a chance we can loose our exclusive rights on "Somebody waits for me" line from the epilogue, lol.

I totally agree with you. Actually, my worst nightmare came true... Back in 2013 I read somewhere that one of the lead writer went to work on Cyberpunk (which you also mentioned earlier) and that was the moment when I thought "Oh sh*t... it probably means there will be dramatic changes in TW3 and maybe Triss won't have a significant role either..."
But you know... Even though I tried to be positive I had this bad feeling about the Triss content. Partly because it was clear that the devs were focusing too much on the Yen-Ciri-Geralt trio and unfortunately they forgot about the other characters. As you mentioned CDPR put her into the game just for the Triss fans and even though you can romance her to me it totally seems like: "You have your Triss. Be satisfied with it. It's more than nothing." But unfortunately you can feel it is rough-and-ready they even censored her love-scene at the tower. -.-'
Yep in fact at this point not much is exclusive to the Triss romance lol.
