(Maybe not precisely, but it looks like):
Geralt: I remembered Yennefer again.
2.
Dandelion - What about Yennefer?
Geralt - (silence while lowering his head ) I will know when I meet her.
P.S. What the hell is wrong with TW2 and translations? Why they couldn't just translate the original, why they needed to make things up? English version is not exclusive in that, some things are not right in Russian version too.

I'm now playing with Polish VO and Russian subtitles.Wichat said:
"Geralt -My memories anad feelings seem to intrinsicaly linked. I seem be recovering both. I believe Yennefer's live and I'll find her." - that's what the Russian translation says too, but in the original he says "I remembered Yennefer again".
The second phrase is translated right in Russian, and in English in my copy.
You can use Fraps for screenshots btw.
Idk, I prefer the 2nd version.Garsun said:
I also like the idea of Saskia finding dwarves fascinating.
Who knows, in the Russian version Saskia's final dialogue and everything else is the same as in the original, but where did they got "I seem be recovering both. I believe Yennefer's blah blah"?Wichat said:So I can assume that first the Polish version has been translated in English, and from this into the other languages.
BTW Thank you/>/>
Eh, what second version? These are different phrases.Wichat said:
And Saskia is not fascinated with dwarfs, she's not an ungrateful bitch and she does not say the "elves are preferable to a human but still a compromise" crap. It was simply made up for English version and broke her character for English players. In the original she even asks Geralt if he'd like to settle in Vergen. I never played English version before and watched it on youtube just to hear how good or bad the voice acting and was completely WTF'd.
I saw the polish convo, and I still prefer the english one and will for now consider it canon considering it's official. Adds more character to Saskia, I found.Garsun said:
In any case, it is indeed curious that the translation differs from the original polish, even if I found it preferable.
The more I read these interviews, the more I think it's likely that Yen is going to be Geralt's "destiny". This sucks, but I don't care at this point as I am really excited for everything else in the game.
Do I feel that CDPR is killing a part of the role play aspect, and minimizing player directed character development? Yes. But there's no help for it they don't believe that.
We have given reasons for why Geralt should be allowed to choose Triss, but the developer gets the final say so, and that's that *shrug*
I agree, after reading these interviews, I got the same feeling and kinda starting to give up the hope that there will be given an option to choose between women (who is the “one” for him). The game, of course, is not gonna be ruined if Geralt cannot choose Triss, but makes completely meaningless the former choices which we made in W1/W2. And yeah, this sucks.
Despite this, I still think we cannot be sure about it, because these interviews/articles are highly ambiguous, and maybe it’s too early to draw final conclusions. Also, if I remember correctly, the devs said that Triss and Geralt didn’t break off their relationship, just went their separate ways. I guess that means we will have a chance to meet with her and pursue this relationship. Otherwise CDPR would not have mentioned the “bond” and the “interest” between them. They could just have said something like “They split up... that was just a fling… etc.” Or am I wrong?
To be honest, I don’t know what to think anymore (the same problem I had before), but I wanna be optimistic.
One way or another, this game is going to be amazing.

Given that the writers talked about how Geralt/Triss didn't break off their relationship and how they still share a bond, and the fact that a choice in romance was confirmed by the developers in a previous article, I am still convinced that the final choice will be left to us.
Anyway, it is not the only reference about Yennefer and his feelings on to her in TW2 where CDPR shows and keep in mind the intention of bringing together both characters, so we cannot be surprising by this. We were subtly warned in TW2.
I think one of the possibilities along the quest of TW3 is that according to our choices as Yennefer as Triss will have a different reaction to the end without that we can do anything. Which it fit more about a real live, when in despite of your wishes, only your actions make change the world around us.
I think that will be our choices in the different quests that will determine whether Yennefer or Triss decide to stay with Geralt or not, the same for the characters who will be involved in the main plot.

Well, it doesn't surprise me not a bit, as you know i was definitely expecting it not only based on the books, but also on the games, but they already said that you will have a choice, so i wouldn't worry about that anymore.cmdrflashheart said:
I could imagine that Yennefer is per se the canon LI, but if you are really eager to pursue your relationship with Triss and depending on your decisions in TW1/TW2, they already confirmed that your import will affect characters like Triss, so i would assume it will affect her in this matter, you can do that.
Well, the interviews are piling up with those statements, i don't think everyone is making this story up, only the story video of CDPR himself was more open-minded.cmdrflashheart said:
It's still strange, usually the publisher/developer sends all the documents to the localization office, so they translate everything and make the synchronization, so if they don't get the original, they have to use what they get.cmdrflashheart said:
So if all localization offices got the english version, why does the dialogue with Saskia differ? Only the english version differ from all the others in that dialogue, iirc.
I know localization offices take their freedom to translate it not just literally, but that specific sentence is just cut in half. I hope this was just an individual case.
So i have to do certain quests in a certain way to pursue one relationship or another? Hmm, i hope Triss and Yennefer will have their own will, they shouldn't be just candidates for you.cmdrflashheart said:
The Polish version is the original. The English version is the localised one. And yes, there's a few cases where the English one doesn't match the original (the best known being the Saskia/Geralt conversation). Based on the examples seen generally, there's been nothing to indicate that other localisations started from the English version (which would mean two translations)Kallelinski said:
Even so, it does not imply the lack of a choice. It could be like you said, Yennefer is the canon LI. It could also mean that Geralt's destiny is linked to Yennefer in some other way, such as their connection with the wild hunt. Having a linked destiny does not automatically mean a romantic attachment.Kallelinski said:
Whatever the case maybe, statements from the writers and people who played the demo talk about a choice. There is no reason yet to believe this isn't the case.
