fortune_p_dawg: i like triss. shes geralt's ride or die chick throughout the game series. i just cannot stand the voice actress. shrill and nasaly.
I went with Triss because I think she's the least manipulative witch in his life. Sure, she tricked him into a relationship when he had amnesia, but only because she was madly in love with him. Heck, I'd do the same thing if I had the chance in an equivalent situation.
fortune_p_dawg: that said, i went with yen, because even if you decide you want to go with triss, some of the dialogue options throughout the game indicate that geralt truely pines for yen.
That's only true because the books also indicate Yen is Geralt's one true love, although they argue a lot, had constant break-ups and get back togethers, and she is also rather mean and unappreciative of him - he is to her, after all "just a witcher", no need to involve him into any of her scheming, but just use him to get things done. Sorry, but I just don't believe Geralt would stand up to that in the long run, nor that he would give up his life as a witcher to stay in deserted hut away from it all with someone like that.
Lore actually says Triss was first fascinated by the bond between Geralt and Yen, never being able to understand why they always gravitated back to each other, eventually falling in love with Geralt for who he was, as she uncovered more about him. I'm with Triss on this one - never could understand how Geralt would be madly in love with an ever moody sorceress who constantly downplays anything he says or does, never tells him the truth and constantly bosses everyone around like she owns the world.
And here I'd like to quote an unnamed philosopher on Reddit, whose words shall never be forgotten: "I'd take a water hag over Yen."
