What I meant is that it would be less attractive to the developers (in the hypothetical scenario where they actually add new content, not that I would bet on it happening) than the other approach, which is also closer to their original design. It is harder to justify major new content when its sole purpose is romance or relationships. But I agree that in the ideal case she would be in Kaer Morhen in Ugly Baby if romanced, as expected from the conversation in Now or Never. Without that, it would not have been expensive to at least explain the delay (like it already is with Keira, even though her personal quest line was also in Act 2, and got moved together with Now or Never), it could even have been something simple like Geralt receiving a letter when arriving at Kaer Morhen under certain conditions (e.g. if Nameless is completed later than Now or Never).

OK i was considering from an original point of view where she could have been there at UMA regardless of romance choice(either via Geralt invitation or Yen's) and it would have made more sense and would have benefited everyone to see confrontation between the 3.
At this point there isn't going to be any new quest content in the main arc so it seems moot.

The thing that always got me about Triss being absent from Ugly baby, was it was the perfect place to deal with the Triss, Yen, Geralt love triangle situation, regardless of whom you romance in the game. Irrespective of which choice you make in the game, the natural reaction for Yen is to be hopping mad at Triss for sleeping with her boyfriend yet whilst Yen has it out with Geralt over the events of sleeping with her friend, Yen and Triss act like best mates throughout the game, as if nothing ever happened. The way they act contradicts their own story.

Yep exactly my view. Have some kind of confrontation to resolution scenes prior to Ciri's arrival, rather than the current Yen's so mad then nothing... Everyone would have benefitted except maybe the cheaters who would have to jump through hoops or suffer early threesome punishment.
Sadly they are never going to change this, too much unpicking of existing content.
