My first play through, I was all about Triss. The game ends with you living with her in a house, if that's your desire, and you have to break yen's heart to get that. I just started my Yen-centric game, and am enjoying it ten times as much, and my Triss-centric game was already 10/10.

That said, the pros of Yen far outway Triss:

Yen is far more involved in the story
Yen is totally in love with you, more so than Triss
There is more Yen romance content than Triss
The romance content with Yen is far MORE romantic than Triss (not just the sex stuff, the actual heartfelt stuff)
Yen is more of a challenge (people call that 'being b i tc hy', but I don't see it like that), because she's more mature than Triss.
In the Lore, Yen and Geralt are basically soulmates, they belong together
Yen is the closest thing to a mom that Ciri has, and Geralt is her adoptive father in heart, making Yen and Geralt a natural born couple
Yen is arguably hotter and more customizable with the free Yen DLC content
Yen was made for Geralt, where Triss is just kind of a glorified f u ck-buddy
... I could go on

As opposed to her real-life hair and lips? Hold on, I think she's texting me, brb

Triss is pure friend category. Everything about her screams friend and nothing more.

Yen is a strong independent woman, she gets ♥♥♥♥ done, triss just seems weak and fragile. I dont pay much attention to triss so I cant say much

[Big Boom Boom]

I find it interesting when people think Yen is ♥♥♥♥♥♥, even blaming her for stealing the Uroboros Mask and destroying Freya Grove. When in fact those acts do not give her any pleasure at all, she even admitted the Necromancy spell was akin to shoving live roaches down the throat and she took the blame instead of Geralt. She was willing to go that far for Ciri like a real mother.

Who would you kill, marry, and ♥♥♥♥? Yennefer, Triss, and Ciri.

M-Yen

I don't get all the Triss hate on the forums. I mean I can understand if people like Yen more, but all the sudden you'd think Triss started murdering puppies. Yen seems interesting to me, but I ended up going Triss. Since I played all 3 Witcher games, and was with her in 1 & 2, I had more attachment to her.

I think Triss is as independent as Yen, as they're both pretty awesome sorceresses and politcal advisors. Plus what sealed the deal for me was when *mild spoilers* you first run into Triss and she asks about Yen and she has a sad look on her face. I couldn't handle sad Triss.

Oh and.... *More spoilers*

I thought it was way hardcore of Triss to be leading a underground railroad of Mages in Novigrad. That helped seal the deal for 3x with Triss. Pretty ballsy when she could have just bailed earlier, but she stuck around to help the other mages escape.

I sticked with Triss.due i got really attached to her in the first 2 games. I dont even bothered Yen's Last wish quest,i told her to do it by itself or whatever,im off and yet she still kissed me right before Triss,when we get back with Ciri in Kaer Morhen. I was like,dont you understand what im saying woman? But i'll probably choosing her at my next playtrough.

You kept the rose of remembrance. And the parenting argument is still valid when counting Alvin. My Geralt chose Triss from first game, and won't dump her now. I think that is how amnesia must feel like, no longer caring about the past with your soulmate and break her heart.

Befor I start with the real stuff, I have to say, I played and loved Witcher 1, Witcher 2 was "ok", because the only decision that really counts is, if you go with roche oder the elf. I was so excited playing Witcher 3 and see Yen! now to your topic:

I finally met Yen, after years of killing Monsters, whoring around and I was like: HEY.. oh my gosch! Dearest Dear of my life.. and she passed by me like: So wow, very Hi, much excited.. not. The first thing she gave me after years is: an order.

I read some threds, saying Triss should be the one blablabla, because of all the Stuff they made it throw blabla.. I agreed but I knew I can not decide that this hot black-haired chick is a ♥♥♥♥♥ after talking to her once.

I met Triss then, helped her and her little magefollows to escape, talked to her a lot and forgot about Yen for a while. I kissed her at that Garden and felt like: Yea.. She is here with me, always was and never says anything rough, keeps beeing shy and distant, but often shows me by looking at him, how much she wants to be with this sexbomb of witcher~~

But at the moment, she was on the ship, willing to leave me AGAIN. She tells me that our Time we had is long ago and over! - Dafuq you want miss Merigold!? I could not say "I love you" or "lets give us a new chance" because I didnt wanted to say that. SHE is the one who should fight for HIM because she utilized him for everything she ever wanted or needed. At least she paid him with sex lol..

After that I met Yen at Skelliga, regretting a bit the kiss I gave to Triss. There is no need for me, to court Yen. Gerald does it by himself.. He complimets her the whole time like an enamored little boy. He reactes sulky when she says: "I need you to find Ciri" and not just "I need you" what she rectified by herself. For me now, Yen is the only one for him, not because I prefer her, just because the game gives me the feeling that Gerald likes her better/loves her.
