In the books, though I don't think the wish itself was ever specified in them. I think it's one of the short stories before Ciri's stuff begins.

She wants to know if it's real or everything up until now has just been based on the wish. If you tell her you still love her even after the wish is dispelled, she confides that she still feels the same as well. They do have a pretty rocky history and were on again, off again for years at a time. Plus Geralt does spend a few years with Triss when he has amnesia, so

Fishstick posted:This makes me wonder why ingame Yennefer is so intent on dispelling it Yennefer is very much a take-charge person and it has significantly bothered her over the years whether she feels genuine attraction and love of Geralt or if her feelings are coerced by djinn magic. Despite being an incredibly powerful mage and having decades of study of djinns under her belt she couldn't come up with a way to distinguish what was 'real' compared to what was djinn magic and decided the only way to tell was to break to spell. If they still loved each other than she can finally be happy knowing she does love him and he loves her back. Or if you're a heartless monster she gets dumped as Geralt lowers his shades and tell her to be careful what she wishes for.

It's been pointed out before that Yen and Geralt are like an old married couple, with Yen playing the nagging wife role and Geralt being the more resigned, oafish husband. I'd like to think that actually has to do with how djinns pervert every wish.

What isn't brought up is how Triss takes advantage of Geralt's amnesia in the first game to sleep with him because he can't remember who Yennefer is. The book stuff is glossed over entirely, even in the books themselves. It always confused me how Yennefer or Geralt still considered her their friend by the end of the novels. I don't think Yennefer still considers Triss her friend at all really, in the books or the games. That "You hosed a dear friend of mine" line at Kaer Morhen came off as sarcastic to me. Plus there's the whole "Go hide behind the Lodge's skirts" bit near the end of the last book.

Oxxidation posted:She suffers for her actions and then some over the course of Witcher 2 and 3, though, so it's probably safe to assume she regrets what she did. There's a definite undertone of penance in her mission to smuggle all the mages out of Novigrad. She repents the outcome. She doesn't really learn anything meaningful from her actions though. She stopped being an abject coward at least, but she still is hopelessly naive and has a huge blindspot for anything another mage does that doesn't involve Geralt's dick. Her whole "No please don't take the crystal to Radovid, he might hurt Philippa!" and Lodge apologism shows that. Manatee Cannon posted:They do have a pretty rocky history and were on again, off again for years at a time. Plus Geralt does spend a few years with Triss when he has amnesia, so He spent a few months with Triss. No more than half a year. It's a fling, unless the player decides it meant more than that. Plus part of the whole point of the first part of the books was Geralt and Yennefer developing enough as people that they could be together and happy instead of driving each other mad over stupid bullshit. And who knows how long they were together at Avalon before Mr. Eredin's Wild Ride showed up. The whole rocky on again/off again part of their relationship is pretty much over by the middle of the books.

Do the sidequests start to give you more exp in general the further you get into the game? I've just done all the ones i can do at my level (4) and they just seem to be giving me 25 or 50exp so it's taking ages to level up. I'm coming across loads of stuff that's level 9/10 and after hitting all the notice boards in the second area the majority of my sidequests are all level 10+ too. Have i kind of jumped the gun a little and should have stuck to the main story for a bit or something?

Kin posted:Do the sidequests start to give you more exp in general the further you get into the game? They do increase, but not a huge amount. The main quest is your biggest source of XP through the game, so if you feel like gaining some levels just do a couple of those quests. And remember that since there's essentially only three main locations for the game (Velen, Novigrad and Skellige), there's content for all levels between 4 and 40 in each of those areas. You'll pick up ridiculously high levelled-stuff from noticeboards all the time, don't sweat it and just come back to it when you feel like it. Alternatively, if quests/contracts etc are only a couple of levels above you - give it a shot. A difference of a few levels can easily be overcome with good play (dodging hits, using your bombs/oils/potions/signs appropriately).

It's the much worse poo poo she pulled later on that primarily affected Geralt and Ciri. I don't remember her calling her her best friend at any point in the game.

It's just kind of absurd that he never actually said it aloud for so long, Geralt seems to be a much quieter character in the books, which makes sense because it spares us an voiceover inner monologue in the games that would inevitably get annoying.

After the dust settles she just kinda stands there dazed while Ciri takes Geralt and Yen away to another dimension, and I don't think we ever hear when if ever they talk again in between then and Witcher 3.

She actually runs away at first and then comes back out of shame. And Yennefer kills herself trying to use some healing magic on Geralt and Triss just kinda stands there without helping or trying to stop her. Though Triss does save Geralt after the Tower of Gulls coup d'etat. I think that's the one entirely selfless thing she does for Geralt in the books. Even when she came to Kaer Morhen she was just doing it to try and sleep with Geralt.

The games don't really show how much of a dick Geralt is. You can give sarcastic answers and all, but in the books he's a pretty disagreeable dude. My memory of Triss from the books is that she was a completely insecure wimp that desperately wanted to be accepted by Phillipa and the rest. She's got much more of a backbone in the games but they don't show you any of the bad poo poo she did. Like trying to deliver Ciri to the Lodge, etc. I haven't seen it but apparently there's an ending where Phillipa advises Empress Ciri. I can't imagine either Yen or Geralt letting that happen. I am glad they had Triss take advantage of Geralt - without a flaw she'd just be a super stereotypical perfect, hot, powerful, loyal RPG girlfriend.

I'm not getting the "Yennefer and Triss reconciled" thing. Yeah, Yennefer works with her for Ciri's sake. But the same goes for the rest of the Lodge. Including Philippa. Yennefer's always been a pragmatist. Meanwhile, just seeing a lock of her hair on the bed at Kaer Morhen was enough to send her into a rage and toss a large piece of furniture out of a balcony. I don't think they're still friends. Triss may want to be, but I think the sentiment is rather one-sided. Also Geralt is more of an rear end in a top hat in the books than in the games because the games have the benefit of all his character development in the books having happened already. Same for Yennefer caring so much about Geralt and Ciri, Triss not being a coward, etc. That poo poo's already happened. No reason to retread it. They still have flaws, yeah, but they're not as crippling as they once were. Except for Triss's weird Lodge blindspot. But she's always been a shallow conformist. Just in her nature. 420 Gank Mid posted:To be fair to Geralt, he did think it many times, and Yennefer 'heard' it plenty of times.

She explicitly asks him to say it in Shard of Ice (well, at least as explicitly as someone like Yennefer can ask a thing like that. She's not one to beg), and I think if he had, all that bullshit with Istredd would have been avoided. He kind of comes off as an idiot in regards to relationships at that point of the story.
