Following on from my post about timing, here's how it works for each character. Assuming you follow the linear progression the game presents itself in, here's how the game flows.
Dream Sequence/tutorial >> Prologue >> Act 1: Velen >> Act 1: Novigrad >> Act 1: Skellige >> Act 2: Kaer Morhen >> Act 2: Ilse of Mists >> Act 2: Battle of Kaer Morhen >> Act 3: Bald Mountain >> Act 3: Novigrad >> Act 3: Skellige
If you choose to romance Yennefer, she's introduced at Act 1: Skellige and you go through that entire section of the game with her, including making love to her. Act 2 starts almost immediately afterward and Yennefer is again present. After taking care of business, you settle down with your friends and your love for a drink, although she has different ideas and pulls you away to make love before you return to your mates and have some fun . When you return to Kaer Morhen in preparation to fight the Wild Hunt, you're greeted by the woman you love who embraces and kisses you. During Act 3: Novigrad, you have an extended sequence with her in search of some of the other sorceresses and then later, during Act 3: Skellige, you finally discuss your future where she says she just wants to be with Geralt without caring much were.
So it plays like this:
Yennefer romance >> Yennefer romance >> Act 1: Velen >> Act 1: Novigrad >> Yennefer romance >> Yennefer romance >> Act 2: Ilse of Mists >> Yennefer romance > >> Act 3: Bald Mountain >> Yennefer romance >> Yennefer romance
In contrast, the timing for Triss is confined to Act 1: Novigrad and Act 3: Novigrad. Despite saying you'll meet at Kaer Morhen, when you arrive she's not there. You can't make love a second time, you can't share a drink with her and your friends, she appears for a battle then vanishes again with nary a word. So the timing looks like this:
Dream Sequence/tutorial >> Prologue >> Act 1: Velen >> Triss Romance >> Act 1: Skellige >> Act 2: Kaer Morhen >> Act 2: Ilse of Mists >> Act 2: Battle of Kaer Morhen >> Act 3: Bald Mountain >> Triss Romance >> Act 3: Skellige
As you can see her romance is crammed in to two areas of the game as opposed to Yennefer's who is timed through the majority of the game. There are hours of game play where you simply have no romance dialogue with her that is filled with constant references to a romance you're not actually in. The pacing is all off.
What is needed to fix this is additional Triss material that is spaced out across the game so that it flows better. It's not a question of Yennefer having fourteen missions (or more) and Triss having three therefore we need eleven more, we actually only need three additional pieces of content placed in the same places as Yen's romance material is.
