Sure, but there aren't any random hook-ups that only happen if you go that way. Triss & Yenn are both cool with Geralt whoring around Novigrad.

You can blow them both off, or try to go for both of them which results in the same thing plus a funny scene

Edit: Yen blowing up at geralt for him whining about her being pissed over triss is one of my favorite Yen scenes in the game

His face also pops up in the background constantly throughout Hearts of Stone at least. Unlike the other reused faces he's never front and center, but if you look at guys just hanging around in dialogue scenes he is there ALL THE TIME. It's such a good effect. I never noticed it in the main game but I wasn't thinking about it in any of my replays really until HoS.

Just looked this up and that is absolutely goddamn terrifying.

I still find it funny that in my game Geralt says to Yen "look, the thing with Triss was because of my amnesia, I had just forgotten about you" and then immediately after leaving her hooks up with Keira Metz.

edit: Though I guess you can argue that she was really just upset about his "emotional" cheating

Her anger over Triss and not other women (though in the books she's def snarky about it when he sleeps around) is less that Geralt cheated, and more he did it with her best friend. iirc she's usually angrier at Triss for the betrayal than she is at him.

The moment where Triss seduced Geralt was never actually written down or shown, right? Triss mentions it in Blood of Elves and Yen is naturally pissed off at her for the initial cheating and then for Triss's stay at Kaer Morhen when they meet up again in Time of Contempt, but Sapkowski never actually wrote the scene. Triss gets a mention in Something More where Geralt laments about all the sorceresses' names he recognizes at the Sodden Hill monument, and he remembers enjoying her company, but again, nothing about their affair.

Yeah Triss and especially Yen don't care if Geralt fucks around it's a pretty open relationship. Yen is really pissed that he was with Triss because Triss is basically like a little sister to Yen and an aunt to Ciri.

God Yen's passive aggressive letter to Geralt where she keeps calling him her dear friend is so good. She's so salty about him writing to her with 'dear friend' and that he asked Triss for help with Ciri before asking her lmfao.

I think Fringilla was a consensual thing, iirc he was super down about Yen and even calls out her name during.

But I could be mixing that up with another sorceress lmfao

Fringilla was specifically sent to Toussaint to seduce Geralt but I don't recall it explicitly saying that she used magic to charm him, so I think he was just down for it. He knows he's being used in any event and outsmarts her in the end by giving her the wrong location for Vilgefortz's hideout.

Yeah, Fringilla was just good old fashioned emotional manipulation.

Outside of Yen, who's certainly an acquired taste, the only cool sorceress I remember from the books is Kiera. I may be mistaken, but I think during the coup she falls out of a window, breaks her legs, then makes Geralt carry her back inside on his back so she can keep fighting.

To be fair to Geralt, at that point he thought that Yennefer was helping Vilgefortz scry on him- and he was technically right.

The moment itself is not shown, but Triss's recollection states that she seduced Geralt "only slightly helping herself with magic"

DoctorGonzo posted:

She makes a replacement for Geralt's lost medllion in the form of a crystal amulet, which doesn't work exactly like the one Geralt is used to, but has some useful additional functions- such as being able to create an illusion strong enough to fool even Vilgefortz.

That was Tissaia de Vries, the sorceress that tries to remain neutral during the Thanned coup and later commits suicide when she sees the results.

sounds more like the twitter dipshit working for GOG who should be fired.. CDPR probably just auto retweets whatever has a sale for their games. that being said they are loving dumb and should appologize.

they should just fire the rear end in a top hat in charge of the twitter and apologize. i like their games a ton and unlike vara and other devs, i don't think they are evil conservative chud monsters, because i have seen good progressive themes/elements in their games despite their rocky areas. i know places like resetera is already talking about banning any discussion of CDPR games and that kinda makes me sad that a bunch of people get poo poo on because of one rear end in a top hat, they should fix their poo poo before they gently caress up again.

The fact this keeps happening and they don't issue any sort of apology makes it hard to really excuse it. At absolute best it looks like they're using people's real-world suffering to drum up controversy dollars and just deleting the tweet and pretending it didn't happen really doesn't mean poo poo.
