I, or someone else, might be able to provide you a savegame of where you are. Without the Triss romance of course. If you don't want to load an earlier save, that's your only option. Let us know which quest you're on.

This is not a dating or sex simulator. What the hell are you expacting? Witcher 3: Wild Sex?
Grow up.
Also... you could not be more wrong about both Yen and Triss. Yen is the best female character in the whole saga and Triss is probably the worst on pair with Sabrina Glevessig.
Triss has betrayed everyone she calls a friend, she´s fake, disloyal and selfish. And hides it all under her sweet girl act.
This is both in the books and in the past two games.
Yen has confidence problems and uses the tough woman mask to avoid being hurt. She only lets go of that atittude with Geralt and Ciri and two other characters that stayed in the books that are like mother figures to her.
But anyway... I´m probably just trying to inform someone that does not care about lore.
You can mix the two if you want for your personal canon but the Witcher story is much, much different to those who only played the three games. Triss had a very prominent role and is a very likeable character in the game series.
No, man. An adaptation is an alternative story in the same timeline of the original that has liberty to change almost everything because it is an adaptation. Just like GoT tv series is an ADAPTATION of the books.
The Witcher games are NOT an adaptation of the witcher books. The games are a direct sequel that don´t change the past and on top of not changing the past, it uses it as the most important thing in the storytelling.
If it was an adaptation, you would see things like Geralt not knowing Yen for example and being in a relationship with a new character all together, Dandelion being replaced by some other charecter. Stuff like that. The games are not an adaptation. They are a direct sequel.
And in that direct sequel, Geralt continues to be in love with Yen, and Triss is nothing more than a friend to him like he allways saw her like.
But this is for people that care about the lore. If you want to throw all that away, you can go for the OOC choices like a political involved Geralt, or a racist Geralt, or a killer of sencient and friendly monsters Geralt, or a Triss lover Geralt...
They are completely OOC choices, but you can choose them. Even if they are lore breakers.
Agreed. Triss is very manipulative and can't live without power. Besides, Yennefer is sarcastic and punny. I love her sarcasm!
But that being said, the thread is going a bit off topic.
That is exactly what happens. Geralt is supposed to be dead. It's a convient trope to have a main character in an existing fleshed out world with amnesia so that you can retell the story to those that are new to it. It's not a sequel. It's a completely different medium with a handful of other writers who wrote the game script.
Fringilla has got more time and a deeper bond with Geralt that Triss, for instance.
Read the last book - Season of Storms - Geralt is not dead, neither is Yen. And the amnesiac Geralt stayed in W2. That Geralt is over.
And you are wrong in all acconts.
First, Triss is a liar, she is manipulative, untrustworthy, disloyal and selfish. And she does not love Geralt, she is obsessed with him. There is a big difference.
Proof of this? Here you go: (Book and past two games spoilers, read at your own risk)
Books
- she used a mind controling spell to have sex with Geralt even though he never ever wanted to be with her. You can call this whatever you want, but this is RAPE. Pure and simple.
- she did that despite being Yen´s "best friend", while Geralt and Yen were on a break, even though she knew they allways get back to one another.
- she tried several times to seduce Geralt without magic, he rejected her every single time
- she agreed and was on board with the Lodge´s plan to kidnap Ciri and turn her into a breeding girl for kings
- she was also ok with the Lodge´s will to let Geralt die so they could manipulate Ciri with ease
- when Yen asked for her help to save Ciri she tried to lie to her saying she was alone and the conversation was secure, when Phillipa was right beside her listening
Games
W1
- lied to Geralt right at the begining saying they had a special relationship in the past when that never ever happened.
- omited Yen and Ciri to him and tried to involve him in politics like she allways wanted and like Geralt allways tried to avoid
- mirror conversation with Keira proves her manipulation of Geralt and her taking advantage of his amnesia.
W2
- Tried to use the Rose of Rememberance to permanently mind control Geralt ( exactly with Phillipa did with Saskia), but Letho interrupted her plan.
And as for Yen, if sacrificing herself to save Gerlat´s life (something that never even crossed Triss´s mind because she just stood there doing nothing) isn´t loving him, then I don´t know what is.
She also asked the Lodge to save him from a group of assassins that were going for him, and the Lodge refused to do that (Triss included in this).
Also, you seem to forget what Letho said. Yen was sick almost dead, with amnesia, was imprisioned by the emperor, and then released just if she agreed to find Ciri, at wich point she contacts Geralt.
As for "making sense".
What does not make sense is choosing Triss. As soon Geralt recovers his memory he leaves her to go look for Yen.
Yen is the woman of his life, Triss is just a friend.
To finish.
A moment from the books when he thinks Yen and Triss are dead. His reaction says it all.
Reaction to Triss´s apparent death:
Geralt: "Shame. She allways had a smile on her."
Reaction to Yen´s apparent death:
Geralt: "I am ready. Take me now. You have taken everything from me, I have no more reason to live. Take my life as well now because there is nothing else for me in this world."
Don´t talk about what you don´t know. Either you have to read the book again or for the first time because none of that happened in the books.
First, Yen never knew that Geralt saw her past appearence. And it is PAST apeearence, not TRUE appearence.
Her actual appearence is real. The magic is not an illusion, it is real permanente changes to the body, using magic, bu the changes are real.
Second, that spell she put on him was no punishment. Was part of the payment she requested but Geralt refused so she used a spell so that he would punish some people that wanted her humiliated and some wanted her dead.
And I don´t know how many people I already explained the Djinn spell but I guess you weren´t one of them.
Djinn spell:
The spell has absolutely nothing to do with LOVE. It is FATE.
What Geralt did was ask the Djinn to tie Yen´s FATE to his FATE.
That means that if Geralt dies, Yen dies as well, and if Yen dies, Geralt dies as well.
That is what the Djinn spell is all about.
Geralt did that so the Djinn couldn´t kill Yen because he then would be killing Geralt, and Geralt was his master. Djinns can´t kill their master.
The spell is this. FATE. Not LOVE.
Now Geralt did this because he fell in love with Yen the moment he saw her. And Yen fell in love with him because of him risking his life for her.
And the developers put the option of dumping Yen because it is simply that. An option.
You can also kill harmless monsters, get involved in politics, be a racist and choose probably the worst female character from the saga (Triss).
Those are options.
If there weren´t any option you would be watching a movie, not playing a game.
And you can believe whatever you want about Yen. Your imagination or beliefs aren´t part of the lore. Thank God for that.
"She's used him, lied to him, tricked him, believes he is beneath her but apparently does like him in bed enough to sleep with him. Then again she's slept with plenty of other men when she's wanted or needed something from them too."
Litterally every single word of this is a lie. If you don´t want to read the books where this characters and backstory comes from then at least respect it by not making up stuffl.
