sooo wtf happen with geralt and triss?

[ScoobieToobie]

Im playing witcher 3 on a save i've had imported from witcher 1 which i imported to witcher 2 then into 3. In witcher 1 i chose to love triss, in 2 i romanced her as well and also banged ves in roche's path. Now all of a sudden when i've met triss in witcher 3, Geralt and her act like they're broken up and its been like this for ages...when did this happen and why is it happening when ive been choosing her every game. I even saved her at loc muine by myself. Doesnt make too much sense unless ive missed something

You missed the part where he got his memory of his life before The Witcher video games back.

This was, after all, one of the main plot points in both the witcher 1 and the witcher 2.

She was using him. Like every female mage ever has.

Once, during the books, she had thrown herself at Geralt during one of his many splits with Yen. He refused her stating that he only thought of her as a friend and nothing more So when he had amnesia, she saw her opportunity. She cast a spell on him and slept with him. She even tried to use the Rose of Remembrance on him to bind him to her but it didn't work. Once he learned the truth from others, especially Letho, he demanded that she fill in the remaining gaps in his memory and ended it with her and set off in search of Yen.

I must admit, I never got quite this negative an immage of Triss during playing the first two games.
I realised that Triss wasn't very forthcomming about certain details of Geralt's previous live.
And yes, her help in regaining his memory wasn't all that grand. But as he was making progress in regaining his memory notheless, I didn't suspect her of sabotaging the process and put any lack of material help from her down to events in the story getting in the way and having a higher priority.
Also, I never saw any real evidence of a spell in the working. I mean, Geralt plowing an attractive woman? Since when does he need a spell on him to do that?

And other character spelling the truth about Triss out for Geralt, and he making her 'fess up at the end of W2?
Either I somehow managed to blunder around that, or my memory is even more leaky than I thought, since I can't realy recall that.
Also, I didn't realy seem to have come up when they mett again in Novigrad and conspired to piss off as many persons of authority as they could.

You will see the details if you choose not to "romance" her in TW1 and TW2. The details will draw a picture for you - and you'd get quite depressed because of it.
Just a couple of screaming examples from TW2:
- if Geralt overcomes the desire in elven baths, he gets magic resistance;
- if Geralt chooses to go with Iorveth to Vergen, he will find out what Rose of Remembrance is actually needed for: it makes the victim a faithful servant of the mage.

W2 has many different final act variations, unlike W3. You could entirely miss quest lines and character developments. You may never find out the truth about the dragon if you only go Roach path.

Same with deciding how ro proceed with final parts of Act 3

I find it quite annoying by the way.
For example, there is a moment (in "Iorveth's path") where Roche appears like "a piano in bushes" and behaves the way he does. And there is only one line that explains it. And the line is accessible only if the Player has chosen not to go with Iorveth after Flotsam.
Bam!
One should play TW2 several times using different decisions to understand its plot.

They have broken up, six months before TW3. They broke up when Geralt finally regained all of his memories, no thanks to Triss, and realized that she had been lying to him and using him for the past year (the duration of the first two games).

She took advantage of his amnesia and convinced him that they'd always been lovers. She promised to do everything she could to help him recover his memories and did absolutely nothing to that end. In fact, she never mentioned Yen or Ciri to him or used any of her magic to help him.

This... and we don't even get a chance to kill her in Witcher 3...

Unrequited Love is a ♥♥♥♥♥. Maybee as bad as I don't know....Making a Wish that someone would fall in love with you....(never read the books so anything I point out for Hypocrasy is based on Heresay). Geralt can't kill Triss over this as he's also guilty. But I guess that doesn't count?

Woo I didn't knew white wolf was probably a gay, he doesn't want any of the gorgeous women around him, so he is certainly gay.

Just pointing out there is more than two choices. A, B, Both, Neither. Probley more than that, but I don't need more clutter in my life.

Reject all those goddess despite he isn't married or forget it, he can only be gay, certainly not both, and if neither it's just because he is gay and don't know it, so gay anyway.

Sit down and take a breath.

She was using you the whole time.

Geralt recovered his memory and finally realised that it was Yennefer he loved and not Triss, who was a friend...

He learns of Yennefer's whereabouts and so sets off to find her.

Again...Triss manipulated you from that first day in Kaer'Morhen, she used you to gain influence with Foltest, she took the opportunity to have sex with you against your wishes as Geralt had rebuffed her in the past..;I could go on.

I toook sweet revenge on her in one quest and she was a bit pisse.d at me.

Sigh you are a female player or whats? It makes no sense knowing that Yennefer too cast a spell on Gerald. Frankly it's lame the game doesn't give you the option to kick out Yennefer and pick Triss instead, lame design from lazy dev too tired to offer real alternatives.

EDIT: It's in fact a huge design error because players reality is Triss, no way Yennefer, and Gerald could remind all his past and emotions of past, but the game failed achieve change player memory.

Read them - and you'd get depressed as well. Because the wish was never about love. And Yen's obsession about it in TW3 is the first visible sign that something's wrong. Not so visible signs are in TW1 & TW2.
