To be honest i kinda feel like this topic/issue here is gonna be neglected in the long run despite its activity, since everywhere a RED is watching or even responding except here.
This is the last game of Geralt, but only the first game with Yennefer and Ciri despite their history with 8 books(!), yet it feels like everybody is just concerned about how to fix the romance with Triss and what do the others get? Nothing? Do we also get improvements? Changes? More content? Responses? Any kind of reaction?
What about those who are way more interested in the politics and less in the ladies? I met a lot of people here in the last two years, who doesn't care at all about the women in the game. They also have huge problems with the game, but it looks like many people are solely interested in Triss than anything else from the game, like that's the only thing that matters.
Why did nobody start a petition, when Triss was missing 2/3 of the game in Witcher 2? After act 1 she was gone until the very end of the game, maybe there was no need to do so, because there was no competition for her, Shani was gone and Yennefer still missing, how is that fair?
Also people act like the game despite the relationship to Triss in such a bad light, it didn't at all, if you ask me. I even wished they would have shown more of the bad side than just her angel side again, but some people even deny that she has done anything wrong like ever. Even exploiting Geralt's amnesia is considered harmless and cute by some people, even by the game itself! Like it's not a big deal, but it should be a huge deal.
If i look around it looks like Triss had even gained quite a lot of fans
despite all those so called issues in the game, how is that even possible then? People are blaming the game for favouring Yennefer, but polls and community activites show that it is indeed 50:50.
At the same time people criticize that Yennefer gets so much more screen time despite missing for 2 full games, how is that fair?
Yennefer does get nothing positive from anyone anywhere anytime in the game, everywhere she only gets criticized, blamed and insulted,
how is that fair for her? She never had any evil intention or ulteriors motives.
A character many people love gets endless criticized not only in the game, but also here in the forums.
We here are already trying to clear up misunderstandings about her, but for many it's easier to just see the devil in her just like many do in the game.
The whole game depicts her in such a bad light, but most people here in this thread don't care about that, because they know better and they are just happy that they can finally see her in the last game. Our expectations were so low that we were already happy about that, about her sheer appearance.
There are problems with Triss' integrity, yes, but just like with everything/one else, yet everybody treats her like the special snowflake that needs the most attention now and i am sitting here, already happy to just finally see Geralt, Ciri and Yennefer together as a family (for like 5 minutes of 100 hours gametime) after such a long time and almost get the feeling that i have to be sorry about that small enjoyment. That is just not fair.
I like Triss just like almost everybody here, if i didn't know Yennefer, maybe i would even go for her, but i think this unequal treatment in the previous 2 games and now the special treating is just unfair, not for me, because i can live with that, because i know it better than the game depicts it, but it's unfair for Yen's character.
If there is such a TeamYen at CDPR, i kinda feel like they were the most quiet ones so far. Having more guns, but aren't allowed to use them
sigh, now i made another negative comment....at least let me end this post with something more enjoyable, looking at such great cosplay
