It's well-done because it's all left up to the player's preference in a way that works for all avenues, and even Geralt's answers ("the magic is gone" or "nothing has changed") are open enough you can interpret them whichever way you like - is it metaphorical or strictly factual ? Is it one way or the other ?
It's really pretty damn smart.
I respect CDPR if they really punish Geralt for sleeping with both. I am glad that I reloaded after unicorn scene in Scellige and avoid it, otherwise endgame will be screwed up.Just curious, what does the populace normally choose for Geralts's mate? I am wondering if I am the only one who always picks Yen cuz I have seen a lot of Triss posts on here. Or do u rather prefer Shani or some other female for Geralt? I think Yennefer is beautiful and although she may seem rather demanding and cruel at times, she is the perfect one for Geralt (and me lol) nothing against Triss but Yen is always my pick. My 1st playthrough I slept with them both and ended up getting busted and wound up all alone!!! Never again!!
And then accuses him being unfaithfull. Seriously?After send not even one goddamn letter or something when in fact she was full aware he is alive and got amnesia.
Plus -she was in contact with Triss.
Maybe you've miss the part where she had amnesia and been Nilfgaard prisoner. Maybe.
It's difficult to send a letter to a man you don't remember the existence or when you are in an imperial cell.
Then she got out of prison and with the help of other mages she got her memory back and still chose to play games and not come to Geralt's aid. She said it herself. She wanted Geralt to find her. I don't hate Yen like I used to, but her excuses during the scene when Geralt confronts her about not being there really tick me off still. And she has the nerve to tell Geralt she doesn't want to hear any of his excuses about his memory loss. I get the impression from Yen, that she only came to Geralt once she hit her own dead end and summoning him was a last resort option for her.
That's another reason why I leave her butt in the woods all alone eating berries.
Well, Yennefer does find out about Geralt's whereabouts at one point (I don't know when exactly in the timeline or how) and learns that he is safe and in a relationship of sorts with Triss. Given the history between these three characters and keeping in mind that Yennefer is an inordinately proud woman, it must have touched a nerve and added to the initial froideur.
She didn't know if he was safe or not. She claimed he would be safe because he's a Witcher and has potions et al. Meanwhile she had a whole team of Mages to help her with her memory loss, then proceeded to search for Ciri without even informing Geralt of that fact until she had no choice but to use his Witcher skills. Why would she think one mage (Triss) would be enough to help him? And why did she think her pride was more important than telling Geralt that his daughter was in danger?
I just see no excuse that could justify Yennefer's actions.
IMO, she allowed her pride to get in the way of being there for the man she loved when he needed her the most. I would even say it interfered with finding Ciri. Perhaps if she had reached out to Geralt earlier they could have found her sooner.
We don't know what or how much Yennefer knows about Geralt after she recovers her memory. We don't know when she finds out about his amnesia, or in what context. We do know that she found out about Triss being with him, which implied that he was among friends and thus free and safe(ish), arguably more so than she was among Nilfgaardians.
I do agree that when Ciri came into play she should have tried to reach him sooner, but up until that point I see nothing particularly terrible about her keeping her distance.
Sure Yen could conclude that Geralt was safe and with friends and a new lover but she could have saved herself and even him a lot of unneeded grief by going to him. Instead she decided to play mind games with him by feigning the damsel in distress act because she wanted Geralt to get his memories back on his own and look for her. IMO, Yen dropped the ball big time on this one. She had a chance to save the man she loved and instead chose her own petty pride. This is why I don't fault Triss at all for going after Geralt. The way I see it, Yennefer gave up on him and he was free to be with whomever he wanted amnesia or not.

Triss is an interesting and complex character, but after reading the books her "clinginess" turned me away from choosing her for Geralt. I think she'll always be involved in political scheming (ex. Lodge); she even wants Geralt to move to Kovir (more politics) with her at the end of the game.
In "Tower of the Swallow" (I think) she knows exactly where Geralt is, but dismisses him as completely useless to her or to Ciri. She might have been lying to save face and preserve her pride, but it really feels like she wants to be free of him.
I don't really see how she is acting like a damsel in distress or what mind games she is playing, to be honest. Again, we don't know what she knows about his amnesia. It could very well be that she believed or was made to believe it had come and gone by the time he was wih Triss, or had found out about it after she had already contacted him. There is no indication she knew he was an amnesiac but refused to help him. I imagine she recovered her memory, at first assumed Geralt would find her, later on found out about his whereabouts and kind of bitterly dropped it until finding Ciri proved too difficult of a task.
