A Kovir DLC? with a special emphasis to Pont Novis and a certain house? hehehe

Who knows if that would ever even get done but from the already mentioned expansions I'm more interested in the Toussaint expansion firstly because it's another region! The more regions to explore, sights to enjoy and places to go the better! so, if there could ever be a Kovir DLC well...another new region? gooooood!! a new region AAAAND with Triss? GREAT!. :)

At the moment I'm taking a time off the witcher 3, I'll wait for the patch and maybe the fixes before I continue my second playthrough, I stopped after the Skellige wake so I'm not exactly rushing to do yen's quest so I can wait for the DLC's, Patch and Fixes to continue playing afterwards.

Well they've already got a load of angry #TeamYenn guys complaining about only doing things to please Triss fans, imagine the uproar if we got a Kovir DLC :p

Well I've tried to be balanced in my approach and have repeatedly pointed out that the only area this game falls down in is romance. Yen's romance has issues of timing as opposed to writing, content and flow like Triss. You're introduced to the possibility of romancing her after Triss which locks you in if you to the romance with her if you select the "I love you" dialogue. That lock needs to go every bit as much as Triss needs new content to balance her characterisation across all three acts. To be perfectly frank CDPR need to throw the current romance mechanic out the window and rebuild it from the ground up because it's shockingly amateurish in its implementation and not what I'd have expected from such a talented team of devs.

As for the Kovir expansion, Yen fans should realise that it represents a romance-related expansion, not specifically a Triss-related expansion. The reason it's referred to as 'Kovir' is because that's the only place named dropped in the storyline. Yen is still evidently friends with Triss (since the storyline ignores any confrontation between the two) and is no longer interested in politics so why not live in Kovir with Geralt and her friend and (potentially for a short time) daughter? Put simply, if we were to have a romance-related expansion, why not ​Kovir?

Benefits will gain everyone. If Triss is romanced, so Yen could go to Kovir for her bussines and Geralt&Triss could help her with it.
If Yen s romanced so Geralt&Yen goes to Kovir for Yens bussines and Triss could help.

Pretty much what you said, if Triss was romanced then she and Geralt are already there in there home and some new storyline takes place, while in the Yen romance, Yen and Geralt arrive there for whatever reason, and if Geralt romanced neither, then he arrives there on his own but Triss invites Yen over there later.

Way too many hot heads in both camps. I would absolutely love Kovir DLC with Triss.

And we know that Yen has reach the North so she could be near to Kovir too. So a Kovir Expansion could be great thinks for everyone. Plus, it's a neutral zone, so it's not really affect by the war and others things (easier to implement). Hope CDPR is looking for that but I will not blame them if they don't do it ^^.

I'd just be happy if both sorceresses got a little something from Toussaint DLC.
I don't see them making as Kovir DLC and that doesn't bother me much.

Yeah but somehow I doubt they can justify a Kovir DLC because of inconsistencies in her romance :(
Click to expand...

We never asked for that.

Triss will be in Pont Vanis.
Yennefer will be in Lan Exeter.

The people who got the Lone-Wolf ending (Made the threesome mistake) can run with Geralt between both cities begging for their forgiveness, so even those amongst us who got screwed making that decision will still get a happy ending, we just get more love from whoever we chose.

Our romance options will be present in Blood and Wine expansion (Toussaint) CDPR already stated that.

Yeah, it'd be good if they could resolve both problems (at the same time, so no angry uproar :D)

With the Yenn timing issue, I think they could either remove that lock like you said or make it extremely obvious in the Triss dialogue (I'm not sure exactly how, but it could be possible).

But like you said, the player would still meet and finish with Triss (and have to make a decision) before even getting to know Yenn, so you're right in that they need to just overhaul it completely.

I would love something like Citadel where You can see and intereact with all characters You liked in Witcher games.
Click to expand...

I would like that too, among my favorite moments during the Witcher 3 game was the "no place like home" getting drunk with friends it's always cool. I would like a citadel sort of expansion too in the dragon age franchise but that would derail the topic and thread way off to the point of leaping into another company hehe so I'll just leave the comment like that. But yeah, that kind of moments before the killings and the battles are always good in video games. Gwent, getting drunk with fellow members of the school of the wolf or going to a masquerade ball with the woman you love make the game great, some relax time and then continue with the contracts.

Yeah i kind of agree with that, if Triss and Yen are involved in the Blood and Wine dlc, then i won't be annoyed or think it is a missed opportunity if they decide against a Kovir dlc, but it is a nice idea to toss around.
