[Megathread] Witcher 3

[Velshin]

I went with Yennefer because it was the main canon story.

I remember way back in this thread the consensus was that people who only played the games preferred Triss, but those that read the books preferred Yennifer.

As someone in the former crowd I definitely preferred Triss, especially because Yennifer can come off as super abrasive, but the game does a good job of showing that Yennifer is not cold hearted, she doesn't care about anyone else that she doesn't care about (if that makes sense). Since she loves Ciri, she is willing to hurt people for clues, even Geralt.

Game Triss isn't like book Triss at all. They made Triss into some perfect cute waifu, whereas book Triss was a crazy groupie that chose the Lodge over Ciri/Yennefer and would've let Geralt die if not for Yen.

They also made Yen somewhat bitchier in the game. I mean, she has plenty snark, but it's hilarious rather than... well, in the game she feels like a nagging wife.

She was Hyacinth Bucket without any redeeming qualities. Still waiting for the option to kill her.

Triss is a girl. Yen is a woman. I was on team Roach.

Triss is Catherine. Yen is Katherine. I was on team Rocket Ship. =D

That would be Triss.

Yennefer put all her energy into healing Geralt and died despite knowing she had no chance of bringing him back, endured horrific torture for months without divulging where Geralt and Ciri were, chose her family over the Lodge and forgave Geralt for his fuckups, which were plenty.


Triss is pure scum. Cowardly and treacherous. They did a 180 degree change with her in the games for some reason, bar the part where she rapes Geralt. That one's in line with book Triss.

I see what you say pateu, but you are wrong. So wrong you may need the nice men in white coats to come and help you on a nice vacation.

Would you like some salt with your crackers, my good sir?

That must be some 180 as Triss (at the point I am at in the game) may as well have wings and a halo and piss holy water. Guess i'll add reading the witcher books as something I'd like to do but will likely never get the time to do.

Nownow, there is no need for racial slurs.

No shit, she's doing it so she can sweep under the rug the fact that she lied to Geralt that she was the love of his life and locked him in a relationship a non-amnesiac Geralt would've never consented to.

They're all scheming snakes, man.

You're wrong in saying I'm wrong.

We all know that you hate Triss just because she's ginger, you racist.

She's not even ginger in the books.

[Slaughty8]

Triss Merigold has brown hairs in the books.
I have no idea why they made her ginger in the games besides "cater to the youth and common conviction about the redheads and sex" etc.

Hi folks. I started playing the first Witcher game years ago; I've never quite managed to finish it, occasionally picking up my old save and getting a little further. I own the second but have never played it. I've now picked up 3. How important is it to finish the first two, or can I jump into 3 without getting hugely confused?

Yea you can. I played the second one only for a while and skipped the first one, and i understood the masterpiece clearly. There is some names that u might not know as they are from older games but thats about the only thing. The game does very good job at keeping u in the story. There is a character log which tells u all about the characters also.
U wont get confused

This is quite simply the best game I've played in a decade or more.

Working on my second playthrough now.

It is apparent that you hvaen't played too many games during the past decade.

Actually seems more likely that they are an individual with their own opinion instead of some ass on a forum trying too hard to make a witty remark.
