>geralt says he loves her because she brings about a peace in him that no one else can, and i think that plays off really well in spite of pity he might feel for her being pathetic.
It's really not very believable at all if you know more about the characters. That's one of those things where I think they just thought it would come across as weird if this wasn't a choice offered to the players even if it's hard to justify in-character.

>
even though i get the impression from these threads that she's a manipulative bitch, actually, and it makes no god damn sense that geralt would ever choose her over yenn or just pure solitude.
Manipulative bitch is a bit harsh. She's manipulative in the way a child is manipulative, not in the way that say, Philippa is manipulative. She's emotional, naive, and weak willed in teh face of her peers so she does stuff like tell totally unsustainable lies just to enjoy the moment with Geralt and puts the inevitable future out of her mind, or is easily convinced to be party to horrible things by people like Philippa who are strong willed and manipulative, all while Triss convinces herself it's really for the best.

Triss is deliberately meant to contrast with Yennefer's strong will and independent attitude.

>>121066512

That's part of it, but also the other things you've said.

>did she betray out of dishonesty with herself, or was it more deliberately manipulative?
Both, under considerable peer pressure (which she's extremely vulnerable to) from Philippa Eilhart.

>>121067083
>>121066883
okay, see, i think that adds a load of needed depth to her character in the witcher 3, and i guess the devs just feel like she already had plenty of time in the spotlight in the last game, and thus didn't need to spend any more time with her this one, but I really do think there's a LOT to work with there in terms of a romance that's actually meaningful and makes a lot of sense, but they just DID NOT sell that AT ALL. they got around the problematic aspects of her romantic relationship with geralt in the wild hunt just by completely ignoring problems she presents there. tackling those head-on would have made that romance-arc WAY better than the yennefer one.

>old thread is autosaging, having a ton of discussion
>move to new thread, it instantly dies
What happened? I'd think at least we'd get our usual start of thread shitposts out of the way

>>121067437
The amount of work needed to make that romance arc believable at that point would have dominated considerable parts of the game's plot and taken a ton of time.

> tackling those head-on would have made that romance-arc WAY better than the yennefer one.
I don't think it was ever meant to be better. Geralt and Yennefer have already had their romance arc mostly and their reunion is the focus, not on them suddenly developing new feelings for each other. The writing around Triss was mostly done with the assumption that it's a send off as far as I can tell.

>>121067437
>tackling those head-on would have made that romance-arc WAY better than the yennefer one.
Correct me if I'm wrong but you didn't actually hook Geralt and Yennefer up, did you? It changes a decent amount of their later interactions if you had Geralt re-commit there.

>>121067445
hey man, i'm still here making a fool of myself for criticizing the writing in the witcher 3 despite not having played the other 2.

i should say that i still so thoroughly enjoyed this game that i played it twice to be as comprehensive as possible, and even sailed out to every single one of those damn screaming siren infested, cardboard-beam boat-breaking, inexplicably remote smuggler's caches.

>>121067810

>>121067616
>The writing around Triss was mostly done with the assumption that it's a send off as far as I can tell.
That's what I got, not to hate on Triss but the game does put the onus on the player to convince her to stay.

>>121067778
i didn't the first time, although i did the second one, and it just seemed par for the course, and triss just seemed to be like "okay, it's not gonna happen, so i'm moving on."

that doesn't make her inconsistent with what i'm hearing. i wouldn't expect her to have acted differently - she definitely wouldn't have tried to break up their relationship or something unless she was guided or goaded to.

>>121067952
i just fucking hate question marks.

She did start to redeem herself in the last few pages of the series by coming back to her friend's side after initially running away but then the witcher 1 starts and she loses any progress she made.

>manipulates geralt with amensia into having a relationship even though she knew how he feels
>being a puppet to the lodge again
>being a phil apologist even after all the shit that she did

She doees take a step away from the lodge at the end of the second game so good for her and she's not as pathetic as she was in the books but she still cracks under pressure and overall comes across as pathetic just not as bad as she used to be.

You said you wonder why Geralt would ever choose triss, well the answer is he would never in a trillion years choose Triss over Yen. It's not even a competition between the two.

I totally get you. I don't think it necessarily SHOULD have been better, actually. I think it's totally reasonable if the writers wanted to tell a story in which Geralt and Yenn are re-united and Triss is a send-off. I think it's completely reasonable to just say both of those relationships have already been addressed in the needed way in previous games, and no need to rehash things.

it IS an RPG, though, and they did provide choices to the player. in a perfect world where they wouldn't have to sacrifice other dev time for it, though, it would have been much better to expand the triss relationship in the way that i describe than the shallow one we have as a formality.

How do you like the way the game handled the last wish story in the last wish quest ? It doesn't make much sense to me as Geralt's love for Yennefer isn't a result of Djinn's spell, but the other way around. If he didn't love her, he wouldn't wish their fates to be bound in the first place. This of course implies that the spell Djinn casts does nothing but to make them meet occasionally, like their paths always cross. If that is so, removing the spell shouldn't have any effect on Geralt's feelings about Yennefer.

Maybe Geralt just wished their fates to be bound because he simply wanted to save Yennefer at that moment and he couldn't think of a better way to do it. And somehow the spell contains love between the two. Or CDPR just wanted to make Geralt & Triss relationship possible, without really breaking the lore and the magic was gone.

We don't really know too much about the Djinn's spell, do we ?

>>121068858
I would play the shit out of that desu

>>121068716
>but one thing you can't call her in the games is a coward
this, in TW1 she is a major player in the anti-Salamandra thing and Geralt has to trick her to stop her from joining him at the final fight, in Tw2 she's trying to act against the lodge on her own and then in the end has the potential to speak out against the lodge which is a fairly uncowardly thing to do and in TW3 she stays to save the mages of Novigrad despite acknowledging she could flee on her own.

>>121068692
too fucking long. like 5 hours. no joke. why can't those boats go faster? it was so tedious, and i only did it because i was a completionist. the whole time i was thinking to myself, why am i doing this work? i would never choose to play a game that was just this shit. this is not even compelling. i should stop, but i've already started, and i already got rid of the question marks int he other zones so I HAVE TO. I FUCKING HATE MYSELF.

>>121068437
see, like, i'm glad you told me all of this, even as a person who liked triss more than yen, and i'm actually just kind of disgusted that they put in a choice to be with triss AT ALL in light of that. i guess i can see why i'm the only one in these threads i get the impression that chose triss over yen in my first play-through. it just doesn't make any sense in terms of the story that's been told far.

>>121068982
I liked it. While what you said was true, Yennefer doesn't know that. It's clearly important to her peace of mind to demonstrate that the feelings are genuine, and when she does it turns out well.

If you go the noncanon route, Yennefer's feelings STILL aren't changed, and it feels like Geralt is using the Djinn as an excuse.

>>121069483
Play the games and read the books yourself before forming strong opinions on Triss. Despite her shortcomings she does redeem herself and change over the series and there are plenty of people who still like Triss despite everything she did because of her development arc.

>>121069262
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aiHNB67ZF5U

the best thing about that part was the OST

>>121068982
I think it works because people change. I got the impression it was put in there to explain away Geralts super-intense quest to reunite with Yenn at the start of the game despite keeping a possibility that his relationship with Triss can be truly committed. I figure it can easily be explained by the fact that people change, and the Djinn's spell basically forced upon him a contradiction that kept him going after Yenn in spite of his love moving over to someone else.

>>121068858

>>121069435
I get the impression she wanted to meet with Philippa to try to convince her to stop or be convinced that what was happening wasn't the way Triss thought it was. Seems like she was still giving them the benefit of the doubt until she was compressed. Otherwise she would have said something to Geralt beforehand.

You might be now but it didn't used to be the case. It's just the game has been out quite awhile so the thread is mostly die hard fans that have played all the games and mostly have read at least some of the books. Used to be Trissfans all over the place and horrible waifuwars in the first couple months after release.

>>121069750
Mostly just people that started with TW3 and retained their waifufaggotry when going back tbqh. I mean I like her as a character but not as a person at all, and I say this as someone that used to be a Trissfag.

>>121068982
It really didn't make much sense as the Djinn wish was never about love and removing it would have no effect but eh whatever it was a well done quest and was one of the better ones in the games.

>>121070174
i think you're implying that people that hold on to liking triss do so for shallow reasons, but from what i hear there are ample reasons why the romance can be compelling, the writers just didn't SHOW any of it, and i guess you just have to headcanon it in in the intermissions and the epilogue.

does CDPR have something against thick women? all the attractive women are slim with moderately large breasts, and average hip width, with skinny legs and almost no ass.

>>121070829
I romance her because I'm a filthy self-insertfag when it comes to game romances and I dislike the idea of romancing Yen more than the idea of Triss. I don't particuarly like either of the romances desu but I find Triss' the most relateable

>>121070809

Thats when you admit that you sort of had a thing for her and realise that she tried to come on to you but you turned her down.

as the anon who has only played tw3, and just hearing all this stuff, i think i would still choose triss over yen because i appreciate the unconventional and the problematic in terms of relationships over the logical. i just feel like the writers completely left out all the aspects that would make their relationship strong and believable.

This is getting really sad. Are all Trissfags such sad, forlorn people, or is it just 4chan in general that is a well of wasted opportunities and lost potential?

>>121072113
it's an rpg. you can imagine the motivations and the thoughts for characters, and as a player if you want to romance triss, you're REQUIRED to insert certain things that aren't explicitly described in the game, which have no in-game contradictions.

>>121071226
I definitely relate to Yen a lot more. I suffered from some issues from childhood that made me form a hardened shell and appear cold and detached to alot of people.

>>121071325
>i think i would still choose triss over yen because i appreciate the unconventional and the problematic in terms of relationships over the logical.
Yen and Geralt's relationship has a ton of that, you just missed 2/3rds of it by not reading the books.

> i just feel like the writers completely left out all the aspects that would make their relationship strong and believable.
To make it "strong and believable" they'd have to completely change both characters.

>>121072402
It's an RPG yeah but you're not playing a blank slate character, you'r playing Geralt, who has established personality traits and motivations. CDPR mostly does a good job of leaving wiggle room on big choices where Geralt might believably do either one depending on your take on his character without the underlying character being changed, but they don't always succeed at this and a few of the choices stick out like a sore thumb.

>>121072113
you really think that people cannot be attracted to triss' personality? have you met REAL people? they're not perfect. human beings do dishonest things constantly. people can fool themselves, they can be manipulated, and they can make mistakes, but that doesn't completely devalue them.

If a relationship is neither strong nor believable its not a very good relationship now is it.

>>121071325
Geralt and Yen's relationship is known across the continent for being filled with many highs and lows and having plenty of issues and to make Triss and Geralt's relationship into something it isn't would require them to completely change the characters.

Every character in the series is like this. They're just generally portrayed more favorably than Triss is. And honestly, having known people like Triss in real life just makes me dislike her that much more so not sure what your point is there.

I mean there's a reason there wasn't really a Triss fanbase among Sapkowski until the games came out. Book Triss is a bad person, and not in the kind of way people generally enjoy (Like say, Philippa or Vilgefortz)

>>121073045

Exactly.

>>121072432

>>121072589
by HAVING choice, there is expected a large element of the player themselves to be part of Geralt. Geralt's solid attachments to both women don't seem go beyond the things they done together as opposed to just how they work personally as a relationship, and the latter is always crucially important, even if rarely so in broad epic stories.

Not really. It's more encouraging people to interpret the existing character. There's a whole huge discussion to have on why, say, Geralt would go with Roche or Iorveth, and all without altering the character by inserting elements of yourself into him. Because it's a believably difficult decision.

> Geralt's solid attachments to both women don't seem go beyond the things they done together as opposed to just how they work personally as a relationship, and the latter is always crucially important, even if rarely so in broad epic stories.

I completely understand this point of view, and absolutely concede every single argument you've made.

We're standing on two sides of flaw in the witcher 3. Clearly the way that shoved in a romantic story with Triss was a formality and the way it was done was hugely unsatisfying, uncharacteristic, and unjustified. You may say perfectly reasonably that this should have simply been removed or done in such a way that reveals a fault in Geralt's character that leads him back to Yenn, or I might say that it's completely possible in a 100+ hour game to have justified the Triss romantic arc partly in spite of and partly in benefit of all of her shortcomings.

I think this is a digression, though. I think the original argument was that you were saying people like Triss is entirely shallow, and to that I would just say that people can like her apart from interpreting her as Geralt.

Where is 4k Anon? Is he ok? Did he get called into the office for some important Blood and Wine expansion development?

I won't disagree with you there, but I think it would take so much time and effort to do believably as to seriously negatively impact the rest of the story, to the extent that the game would cease to be about Geralt and Ciri and become about Geralt and Triss.

>I think the original argument was that you were saying people like Triss is entirely shallow, and to that I would just say that people can like her apart from interpreting her as Geralt.
Read the books and come back to me on that if you still feel that way.

yeah there to be entirely honest, i chose tali for ENTIRELY shallow reasons. i didn't find any of the characters in that game nearly as well written or compelling as in this one, though.

>>121074491
yeah, this is a completely flawed via limitation and ignorance perspective. i think there were times where in just a few short lines and one simple action here and there, like with the BB, the writers were able to really able to sell some seriously drastic character actions, motivations, relationships, etc, and I would have at the very least wanted something like this to be put in for the Triss relationship if they just HAD to put it in the game, even though I recognize in light of the massive story from the games and books, such a thing is pretty much a drop in the ocean for justifying it. would have been more gratifying in a way, though. Honestly, I think it could have been intertwined enough that nearly all her screentime COULD have simultaneously accomplished this.

All the Mass Effect characters except for maybe Mordin are shallow as fuck, so don't worry about it. Even the love interests that could have potentially been interesting are instantly sabotaged to not be for the sake of power fantasy.

It was a thorough demonstration that people that start the series with TW3 aren't drooling idiot "casual normies REEEE" as they're so often caricatured as in this thread, which is refreshing.

>i expect i'll read the books, but i'm not so keen on playing tw1&2, because the story interests me way more, and the gameplay is already pretty tedious in tw3 to put up with the inevitably more tedious and needlessly complex pc-rpg-style gameplay that i'll see in the first two.

On a shallow level their personality and demeanor is similar, the kind of first blush gut reaction that is the basis for initial attraction. They're not similar on a deeper level, but Tali is too shallow to relate to anything on a deeper level.

On a more serious note, she's been up in Novigrad successfully spying for a while, she's rumbled by an organised crime group and not Redania or the Temple Guard and from what we saw she seemed to have learned a fair bit about the important people in Novigrad which was probably her goal.

Also theres nothing wrong with spyfu being able to use her 'talents' to spy

>I'm just memeing tbqhwyf
I know, hence the serious note She already knew she'd been rumbled by someone, she just didn't realise it was some obscure halfling who was actually a minor crime boss. Wasn't her main reason to wanting Geralt's help because she knew he was the kind of guy to help damsels in distress and she wanted to get back to Nilfgaard as fast as possible.

It's easy to justify actually. It's Geralt taking a TREMENDOUS risk for a man that he knows is, while not pure evil, is not a good person by any measure and brought about a lot of this himself. Geralt has no idea that he's a videogame character and that his victory over a demi-god is inevitable, and he has other obligations that being dragged into Hell would make impossible to fulfill, like, you know, saving his daughter and the world from the Wild Hunt.

>>121090810

Geralt knows Gaunter can be beaten, he knows how he was beaten in the past and he was given a hint on how to defeat Gaunter by the two demons. Knowing Gaunter is a "monster" that can be defeated is enough for Geralt to justify stepping in.

Iorveth and Roche are both examples of underlings inspired to undying loyalty through callous manipulation as per Stennis's dialogue with Geralt.

Alternatively: Renfri is Ciri in another life.

Discuss

>>121096359
Thats subverted, Ioverth ends up acting against Phillipa and ends up more than an underling in Vergen and Roche ends up potentially betraying Temeria to Redania and again becomes a more important player in TW3 and is key in making Temeria a Nilfgaardian vassal effectively no longer making him an underling devoted to Temeria

>>121096706
>Ioverth ends up acting against Phillipa
I was talking about Saskia. Iorveth is utterly devoted to her, to the point of falling in love with her. But Saskia makes her feelings clear to Geralt that she simply views him as a terrorist.

>and Roche ends up potentially betraying Temeria to Redania
This development is completely undone by TW3.

> and is key in making Temeria a Nilfgaardian vassal effectively no longer making him an underling devoted to Temeria
He does it out of blind loyalty to Temeria that derives from Foltest feeding him enough scraps to see him as his surrogate father. Stennis would approve.

>>121096359
well roche is a patriot and takes pride in serving his king, probably imagines foltest as his adopted father, so when his king gets murdered under his nose it's oughta make an already driven man focus on nothing but finding his killer

I'd say he isn't an underling at that point anymore, but rather temerian batman

and iorveth gets played like a fiddle in TW2, but he's his own man, especially after he realizes he's been coaxed into a snafu as it were

his character ark is really rather nice actually

>Alternatively: Renfri is Ciri in another life.
pretty much, except no actual superpowers and no plot armor

>>121097042
>This development is completely undone by TW3.
Nah, he sells out to Redania because he believes the continued existence of Temeria and its people is more important than complete sovereignty, while the fact he actually sells out to Redania is retconned he does the exact same thing with Nilfgaard, trading complete sovereignty for the continued existence of a national identity and limited self governance.

Although its a tough one for Ioverth, its more undying love for the ideals and literal love for Saskia than being an underling like Roche.

Roche isn't really an underling by the end of TW2 and most of TW3 either considering he's leading the Temerian resistance in TW3 and makes the decision about what happens to Temeria at the end of TW2.

But he does other thing during the game too, also what does that have to do with anything? I can't even tell if you're arguing with me or not.

Renfri had super powers. Prophetic visions and some bizarre magic resistance that made Geralt's signs completely ineffective.

He makes that decision because he learns to value Foltest's blood more than his nation, no longer being confused about the true motives for his patriotism. It's growth. This is all gone in TW3.

>
Roche isn't really an underling by the end of TW2 and most of TW3 either considering he's leading the Temerian resistance in TW3 and makes the decision about what happens to Temeria at the end of TW2.
I'm pretty sure the whole deal is from Dijkstra and Thaler and Roche just does what he's told in that regard after being talked into it by Thaler.

Besides, Foltest doesn't have to be alive for Roche to be devoted to him. You're taking it too literally.

>>121097496

all to further one goal, one desire: avenge his surrogate daddy and ensure temeria survives this crisis

>>121097665
When was the Foltests blood thing established? It was made very clear that Anais was the only hope of Temeria not being split up into smaller states or fully annexed by Redania and Kaedwen, without Roche rescuing Anais and instead going to the Yaruga, Redania and Kaedwen attempt to annex Temeria before the Nilfgaardians push them back across the Pontar (the ending slides make little sense considering TW3 happens tbqh) so it seemed to me that it was more Roche being willing to compromise for the good of the country.

Roche isn't completely happy with the deal but he's still a key player in it, he wasn't just forced into it by Dijkstra and Thaler.

Edgy versions of Batman have killed, theres some dobson comic thats just him ranting about how certain authors make Batman gritty and willing to kill people. Even some of the light hearted versions of batman heavily imply he just killed someone.

I'm not the one who called him Temerian Batman, I just said it was decent.

And gets a leg up on its neighbors. Destabilizing Henselt's rule isn't about surviving th current crisis, at least, not directly.

>>121098503
Garrus sort of was alien batman in between ME1 and 2 except he shot more people.

>>121098503
>Destabilizing Henselt's rule isn't about surviving th current crisis, at least, not directly.
actually I've no idea why he tried to do that, do temerians just hate kaedwenis for some reason?

>>121098283
>When was the Foltests blood thing established?
Mostly through subtext.

> It was made very clear that Anais was the only hope of Temeria not being split up into smaller states or fully annexed by Redania and Kaedwen,
If he only cared about Temeria then he'd never do anything but bring her to Natalis. In some TW2 endings he actually has a character arc and learns to value thing besides muh Temeria. Really wish they'd gone with the "Outlaw Roche being dad to Anais" on the run ending because it's pretty much the most appropriate ending to his arc.

>(the ending slides make little sense considering TW3 happens tbqh)
They divide it up then get rapidly overwhelmed by Nilfgaard. No direct contradiction in that regard.

>>121098679
>Garrus sort of was alien batman in between ME1 and 2 except he shot more people.
I know. I like to pretend Roche is a much better character than Garrus though. Don't talk me out of it, please.

>>121098686
>actually I've no idea why he tried to do that
Standing orders and Roche being well established has stubborn and having difficulty switching gears or thinking rationally. Except in TW3 where suddenly Ves is the hothead and Roche is the calm, cool one.

>do temerians just hate kaedwenis for some reason?
Yes. The Northern Realms have fought each other more often and much longer than they ever fought Nilfgaard.

>>121098863
Roche is a much better character than Garrus though. Alien Batman applies far more to Garrus than Temerians Batman does to Roche

>>121098686
>>121098863
Roche had been working on destablising Henselt for a while, it makes sense that he would try to keep the plot running while he's inside Kaedwen.

Is Gaunter O'Dimm the best RPG antagonist of the past 5 years?

>>121098863
also henselt's death happening anyway AFTER you've dispatched the kingslayers is just an insult to everyone who played TW2, although I guess it's in keeping with witcher theme of everything being fucked no matter what you do, and what can one mutant vagrant do anyway

stennis the menace not getting so much as a mention, too

in the end TW2 might as well be non canon spin off

>>121099324
Plus I guess he's really got nothing else to do because mist and Geralt's handling the whole Kingslayer investigation at that point.

It makes perfect sense actually and I laughed when I heard it. Fuck Henselt. It's just smart on Radovid's part too. If you want to win a war with Nilfgaard, you kill Henselt first.

>in the end TW2 might as well be non canon spin off
TW3 wouldn't happen without the events of TW2. TW2 is far more important to TW3 than TW1 was to TW2.

>got to keep it accessible to casuals who don't give two shits about the story to make more money.
Gotta play TW2 to properly appreciate the Witcher's particular variant of Batman, filthy casuals won't get it

>Yes and I hope he is never reused beyond brief cameos and mentions in lorebooks.
I'd be fine with a sidequest or two but he should never be a main antagonist again though you're right

>>121099361
>of the past 5 years?
maybe

nothing will ever trump kerghan though

>>121099694
Any sidequest should be limited to "oh look how much Gaunter fucked someone over", turning him into a dalek-esque super unstoppable villain that is always defeated at the end of the quest/episode would suck.
