This thread is hilarious. Bitch on about Yen content all you want, apparently. I wonder how they'll police which content you can talk about in Cyberpunk? Should be interesting.

I don't want to simply go around in circles and rehash old points that people have made. The current state of affairs may very well be a design choice to reframe Ciri and Yennefer's relationship. If so however, it would be great if the relevant developers could affirm that this is indeed the case and explain their reasoning behind it.
The game makes you care for Ciri, just like Geralt would do (duh), so Ciri being fond of and spending most of the time with Yennefer, would be viewed as unfair for Triss.
They have no obligation to explain every choice in the writing that some of the fans do not like, and in fact no response to content related complaints has been more of the rule than the exception. Especially when it comes to controversial topics like relationships in the game - from the developers' point of view, the best course of action might be to say nothing and change nothing - making changes to the story or characters already established in the game just because fans demanded it can do more harm than good. The game is what it is, it may be better to eventually accept it and let go. Realistically, I expect that the main NPCs of the game said their last lines in patch 1.10, and nothing else will (or arguably even needs to) be added, except maybe a few lines only for Blood and Wine continuity.
With regard to changes in the story, I actually doubt I would have gone looking for this on the internet if the throwaway line by Ciri referring to Yennefer being manipulative wasn't included in the final game. I really didn't understand that line in the context of the game itself - why it was there, and what it was referring to.
I completely understand that the devs have no obligation to give us any answers. We paid for the game - not for them to respond to our questions and feedback, so to speak. I'm not making any demands, just a humble request On that note, I'd like to ask the people on this forum, in terms of content discussions - what content/character issues have the forums raised and the devs responded to? As someone who's new to the forums, I'd love a brief rundown of the precedents we have on this. thank you in advance! (if it happens)
In my guts though, I feel it was trimmed, because it would clash with the perception of the choice between two love interests in the game. The game makes you care for Ciri, just like Geralt would do (duh), so Ciri being fond of and spending most of the time with Yennefer, would be viewed as unfair for Triss. To put it lightly. Hell, it was already viewed as unfair to some people. Which I don't agree at all. The game was unfair to many important characters and one of the reasons was making this stupid trio choice a big factor.
This is not the case and clearly evidenced by the fact that Ciri has little interaction with Triss as well. The reason the focus is on Geralt and Ciri is fairly simple. Ciri is a, if not THE focal point of the game, yet she is a character that newcomers do not know at all. Our narrative is thus focused on a character that many players had no emotional investment in prior to the game. Through the many interactions between Ciri and Geralt, we showed that Geralt cares deeply about Ciri which translates to the player understanding why Geralt is doing what he is doing and more easily relating to those feelings. The same, incidentally, goes for Yennefer. The reason she is present in Kaer Morhen in the dream sequence at the beginning, is primarily because we need to establish that she is important to Geralt and thus why the player should care about finding her. It is debatable if we managed it at all points throughout the game, but I did want to correct the presumption that we reduced Ciri-Yennefer interactions because of Triss or Triss fans. Cheers.

REDs answer about such suggestions:
As I said once, if this didn't make any difference, nothing will, so I hope they can (or have already?) fix this one flaw, otherwise the last game will always have that bad aftertaste for me, because once you see the problem, it's hard to unsee it.
Glad you enjoyed it.First time i heard the name Blinky. I love it
I agree with someone who posted that the issue at hand stems from the love triangle/choose your love interest thing.
