Yennefer is beyond annoying *Spoiler alert*

[Timmiii]

Although gorgeous, Yennefer really grind my gears. She is a bossy and manipulative shrew, and Geralt is a spineless cuck with no backbone when she is around. I got so annoyed with her, that after fighting the demon that cast the spell which supposedly had an effect on Grealt and Yennefers relationship, I´d told Yennefer the magic was gone (I´ve forgotten the name of the demon and the spell) I prefer Triss any day, and told her she was the one a while back

I am alone here?

P.S: Does it have a negative impact on the end, that you ditch Yennefer?

No and No.

People prefer Yennefer based on books especially by logic 'definitely not Triss'. But TW2-3 quite different from books. Triss quite charmer in TW2-3 (check her out in TW1 for contrast). You don't have to pick either sorceress in fact.

I too hate how you can't tell Yen to go ♥♥♥♥ herself game only allows for passive agressive Geralt at best or masochist one at worst.

I agree with the OP entirely. Yennefer is a stuck up, manipulative, self-centred woman. I detest her so much that I have all of the other Dark Horse figurines and refuse to buy the Yennefer one.

I ditched her at the earliest opportunity and went straight for Triss, despite the game heavily trying to lead me towards Yen.

There're hundreds of threads like this so you're definitely not the only one. But most of the time they posted by people who are new to the series. You could go watch some videos explaining her behaviour. There's so much more to her than this game says. And she has to be in these situations both bossy and manipulative to get things done as soon as possible.

Except way TW3's designed there's zero 'as soon as possible' feeling nor necessary urgency... :/

Yeah that is true and it's probably because it's an open world with so many interesting things to do which distracts players from the main story. You might be saving a village and everyone will be thankful to you and then you go do the main story where Yen is just ordering you around without appreciation. But in the end when you think about it she really has her reasons to be like that.

Triss is not much better.

Triss defense squad to the rescue!

We are talking about the games right? Triss is more than happy to live with you in some ♥♥♥♥♥♥ village cottage. They're both controlling and manipulative; but Yen is physically abusive in the game. I do wish there were other options though. One of the sisters you fence with would have been lovely.

I see alot of good points being made, but why the hatred towards Triss? She is no saint, no one in the game is. But she is over all a much nicer person then Yen, kinder to Geralt and kept the Rose of Membrance

I totally agree, I was hoping for a dash with the sisters, but to no avail. Or the heavily injured Lena

Right except the whole diversion with the dijnn had nothing to do with Ciri. Of course Yen lied to Geralt about that. She said she wanted the dijnn so she could harness its power and use it to help find Ciri or fight the Wild Hunt. Geralt, sap that he is, bought it and went along. She ALWAYS gets her way. But in this instance, what she wanted had NOTHING to do with helping find Ciri.

That sense of urgency, that excuse she used when she stole the Mask of Ouroboros from Ermion, that it was vital to have it in order to find out what happened to Ciri -- that didn't exist here. This is was purely selfish reasons. She wanted to find out if Geralt would stay with her if the dijnn's spell was lifted. And her own spell as well.

So glad we had the option to break up with her for good.

Well in this case at least it's ok since it's in Geralt's interest to go along. Unless there's third version of Yen that sacrifices Geralt for her own needs in that case better keep that spell...

I don't know about the books, but I'm pretty sure that in The Witcher one Geralt says he doesn't think he'd be good in a relationship, mostly due to the fact that he's a Witcher, and how he wouldn't want to be a farmer. And if he was still a witcher, he wouldn't have the appropriate time for his wife.

Yen is like me a Libra we can be royal pains in the ass soemtimes but we can also be sex gods that simulate heaven on earth

for me yes she is a bit annyoing but then again we can only be friends :P

I have a feeling Gerald is an Aries thats why he loves her so much .. he likes being told what to do but he is also very headstrong and sometimes just wont listen

[Janthis]

In my mind, that offers more of a justification for future beatings.

Not sure beatings are ever justified, personally...

Yen can be needlessly abrasive sometimes, but I think what attracts Geralt to her is that she's also smart, no-nonsense, and gets things done. Besides, for all this talk about her being "manipulative", I can't really think of any instances where she manipulated Geralt or made him do something against his will.

[Woodcock]

You are most certainly not alone here. I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ despised the manipulative ♥♥♥♥ as soon as she brings Geralt into the back section to go to the laboratory in the "The King is Dead - Long Live the Thing" quest. The moment I clicked the initial option to say that we shouldn't be sneaking into the lab and Geralt turned into a spineless cuck I instantly knew I ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ despised her.

[Sif]

Yen is really worse in the books, basically she treats Geralt like a dog, and Geralt's mommy issues dont help him much

[MaximumEffort]

Both are ♥♥♥♥. But I prefer Triss, simply because she does not make Gerald eat the leftovers of another man inside her. Graphic, but describes how Jennifer threats Gerald.
