Elven bath.
Excellent!! that's the one to go with the rest from the Witcher 3 scenes hehe.
Thanks a lot Onakita.
This.
I agree with what you stated, Triss should be involved in Act 3 in someway without just standing on the boat doing nothing (ok apart from saying "good luck"). Shani should mention Triss (or Yen) at least once considering all things....it would be a chance for another npc and a major character involved in a storyline to acknowledge the relationship with Triss or Yen.
Yennefer saves Geralt by default for story reassons, which are more important the romance for the sake of romance. Right after the telepoerts Geralt out they see what happens at the tower and try to rescue Ciri.
Why Yennefer has to rescue Ciri and not Triss should be pretty obvious by now and I don't think we need to discuss that anymore,
If Triss would have saved Geralt, they would have to add Yennefer right afterwards anyway and somehow remove Triss. The other possibility would have been all three of them riding towards the tower, but I don'T see how the story would benefit from it.
I assure you that I understand what you're trying to say, we simply have different point of views on the matter. I felt that it will be more logical to have it handled that way and of course, the list did have a few of ideas which I feel could improve the over-all romance with Triss. I understand that Yennefer is like a mother to Ciri and again, I state that Triss is like a sister to her.
I'm not a writer, developer nor one of the story-writers, merely expressing my thoughts in a list which is open for ideas and suggestions.
Well, that's been an interesting read. Glad you sorted it out on your own. But it should probably serve as a reminder - suggestions of replacing substituting Triss for other characters in scenes are probably not going to go down well with OTHER fans of the game, and I'm pretty sure that CDPR are fully aware of that. So you may want to take this into consideration.
And not just Yen, by the way.
And not just Yen, by the way.
The suggestions about the replacements were dependent on the player's choice of romance. It wasn't about cutting one character and adding another. It's optional.
I know. I read the posts concerned. Just offering a suggestion on where you may want to concentrate your efforts.
Always good to see you. We figure that much dont think I want to open can can of worms again. The whole camp was on fire. I had to result to emergency action plan.
I agree - I really don't see CDPR changing the game the that extent ---- All I want Is some more dialogue, fixed incosistencies and another scene or later in the game to flesh it out.
And that is me being hopeful - don't know why people expect more.
and I still don't understand why this keeps turing into a competition with "Yen fans."
I don't know what they have to complain about? Even with the fixes Yen will stil have a greater presence in the game and thats fine it is her only appearance in the game and she is probably the 3rd most important character after Geralt and Ciri. So thats the way it should be.
It would need a significant re-write of the entire plot and fail to take advantage of the love triangle, something the game already fails to do beyond Yen's hissy fit at Kaer Morhen. Total ring fencing of the two women would be ill advised in my personal opinion.
I understand perfectly what you mean, we've been trying to clear it up in a friendly manner by explaining our suggestions and ideas to them (Speaking for myself at least).
EDIT reason: Typos.

Triss has by far the best facial expressions in this game. Double that effect because I like her face, lol.
The list was meant as a preliminary to get consensus for an update. We got inputs and updated the list putting in the forum to get feedback before updating the OP. Somehow a fire broke out and we went into damage control.
But Yennefer is involved in these missions because of her role as Ciri's mother and not as Geralt's romance option. The only romance related content in the third act is the conversation in the tent right before the end batttle. Triss should get a similar conversation. All other missions exist to continue the plot and if there is no reason for Triss to get a mission because it doesn't make sense plotwise, she shouldn't get it.
Replacing Phillipa with Triss is even worse. The plot doesn't play any big role I agree with that, but it's still a plotpoint and you wan't to remove it, just for the sake of more romance time between Triss and Geralt.

You mean kinda like in the witcher 2 playing the "Roche Path" or the "Iorveth path"? IF that, then it would make sense to see some substititions according to romance choices since it's basically another sort of path though I doubt if it will get changed because that's a lot of work for the game.
I'm just looking forward to see some fixes regarding Triss and the romance with her, dialogues, scenes, continuity, aknowledgment of the romance among other characters (besides Vesimir's mentioning it at the gates of Kaer Morhen of course). I'm more than willing to play the Witcher 3 all over again for that besides the expansions hehe.
I agree completely that Yen should be there for the chase, however I would have preferred to have seen all three ride out personally. I see no story reason why Triss wouldn't want to be there & think there would have been story experience benefit to it. It's not a paramount fix for me though.

It makes sense. There's no point of excluding Yen, or twisting the entire story. The main plot is very good, no need to discuss it.
It's simple, it's something one can understand, and the devs did understand that : "Can my choices be seen on screen ? Are they important ?".
If you choose Yen (what I did in my 1st entire playthrough) : it's fine and you care more and more for her even if you had a bad 1st impression on her.
But if you choose Triss whatever your reasons (what I tried to do from a save in Novigrad), you're disappointed, Triss remains absent. And Yen is very mad at Geralt which is not a real surprise
