No, You are right, CDPR need to address lack of content not only to Triss romanced choices, but also Triss/Yen, and especially Ciri/Yen content, because newcomer who didn't read books can't understand how deep is bond between Ciri and Yen, only Geralt and Ciri.
Yeah this is what bothers me. Relationships between Geralt and other characters are usually ok. Interactions between other characters mostly feel sloppy though. I saw a lot of good ideas about Kaer Morhen in both threads so I decided to focus on Final Battle Preparations instead, which was a perfect opportunity for some Ciri, Triss and Yen family time...
I posted this earlier in the morning in Yennefer's thread and people generally liked it, let's see how will #TeamTriss react.
You know what I would appreciate with all my heart?
Imagine "
wait until sunrise you ploughing whoreson help Ciri with her business in Novigrad" quest being played from Ciri's perspective, but filled with dialogues and cutscenes.
Imagine the opportunities. Why is only Geralt with her? So that he can help her steal some horses and have a good laugh about it which results in Ciri being less suicidal?
Hell no. Play it from Ciri's POV. Bring Geralt, Triss and Yennefer. Bring your family.
- If you romanced Triss, Geralt goes hand in hand with her, a hug here and a kiss there, Ciri and Yennefer go together right next to them, holding their hands as well. Or they could just all hold their fucking shouders, hell do I know. Dialogues. Many dialogues. Triss and Ciri get their sister time, exchanging a few sisterly words here and there, just jesting around and being very happy together. Ciri and Yen get a lot of mother-daughter time, Yen calling her a little ugly one, Ciri being seemingly angry about it at first, just about to open her mouth and say something, but then she just bursts into laughter and tears as she hugs Yen and says "I love you mother". Triss still feels insecure about her friendship with Yennefer, especially being in a relationship with Geralt, so she goes ahead and talks about it with everyone at first and then with each one of them individually later. Geralt looking lost and stupid as usual in these situations, not knowing what to do or say. She could say something about being sorry for taking an advantage of Geralts silly amnesia etc. Ciri looking sad at first, painfully realizing her mother and father aren't together anymore, but then she just kinda twists her shoulders and smiles about it being all like "don't worry about it sis, I understand". Yennefer looking very angry and cold at first, about to burst into another shitstorm of hers but then she calms down, takes a very deep breath and says some sincere words about friendship and understanding, I don't know, she can say something like "Well, we're all adults after all Triss, and therefore I accept Geralts decision and still consider you a friend. Take a good care of my man, I know he will be happy with you, you will both be happy" - pause, she takes a defeated look at Geralt, eyes full of love and desire, shakes her head to get rid of visions from all these past years in front of her eyes, sighs, looks at Triss and finishes her sentence - "and you both very much deserve it." Triss looking relieved since she was afraid of her reaction. Ciri being left out and sad, then they all cheer her up as they leave together to see some random fucking guy who helped her god knows when.
- If you romanced Yennefer it's similar, Triss and Ciri get a lot of sister time, talking about... uh... things that sisters usually talk about, right? Yen and Geralt just can't get enough of each other, Geralt failing to behave himself as usual, lustfully kissing Yennefer until Ciri can't take it anymore and goes like "oh come on, you two look awfully ridiculous"
(just like in the books when she saw them both naked). Triss feeling insecure afterwards, not being sure if her presence is wanted, to which Yen holds her shoulders, maybe even forehead to forehead, looks her deep in the eyes and without any sense of pride she tells her "You will always be a part of this family, no matter what Triss. Remember that as I shall never forget what you did for Ciri". Yennefer of course spends the same amount of time with Ciri, calling her names and all, enjoying their usual mother-daughter chat. Geralt is with them just laughing, shooting some dad jokes here and there. Triss isn't left out of it at all, her confidence grows stronger as she realizes she is with her family and has no bad blood with Yen at all. They joke and laugh together, leaving to see some random fucking guy who helped Ciri god knows when.
You understand my idea guys? I just want our heroes to get some closure and spend some quality family time, everyone finally finding understanding with each other. It doesn't matter why did who fuck who and when but that they're all one big happy family and Ciri isn't suicidal since she's happy, very happy. She's happy with Triss, Geralt and Yennefer. Family.
Happy beautiful ugly one.
How would #TeamTriss feel about Yen giving Geralt a bit longer hug than comfortable, then kissing him on his cheek and quickly turning away as she is wiping a tear from her eye? This happens after Yen tells Triss to take a good care of her man if Geralt romanced Triss.
I wouldn't mind Ciri noticing her tears either and being genuinely shocked about it, realizing how deeply Yennefer loves Geralt, as nothing is more pathetic than a sorceress in tears. I just wanted to write this in the end because I like my head where it is - on my shoulders.
