Why is Yennefer mad at geralt?

[Flazz]

Possible spoilers. So I decided to romance Triss, and now Yennefer who previously didn't give a damn about Geralt, all of a sudden throws him into a lake. I haven't read the books or played Witcher 1 or 2 but I have watched some of Witcher 2 and in that as well Geralt's main romance choice is Triss. I read on the forums and everybody said that Yennefer was perfect for Geralt, because Triss always hid things from him but Yennefer is doing the same. Can some lore experts tell me why? Also, what order should I read the books? I heard some haven't been translated to english yet so it is confusing and I can't find anything on the internet.

*spoilers* I read the last wish and Geralt was able to basically save her from a genie she was trying to capture by wishing that the two of them be bound together and that is how their romance started. Yen can be a real ♥♥♥♥♥, she used Geralt and other people in the book for her own selfish reasons, using her charms and also using magic to control peoples' minds. She was very selfish and manipulative but I have not read the other books

[Whoami]

women and the consequences of ticking them off.

Geralt and Yennefer are bound by ginnie spell, so they spend a lot of time with each other. Triss has always wanted to be something more for Geralt, as we can see in the Witcher series. Yennefer is just angry that you are sleeping with her friend and don't think about her. She just don't like when something goes wrong, but she loves Geralt after all.

Yeah well, they are mainly bound by a spell. True, but in the game you will "remove" the spell that bounds them together and Yen will tell you she still feel the same way than before (still loves you) .

Now Yennefer has always been very direct with everything she does. If she wants something, she does anything for it. Even if it means to control or hurt people. She doesn't really think about the consequences, she just does it.

She isn't mad at Geralt particularly. She's mad at the fact that Geralt keeps making excuses for his relationship with Triss (obviously a good excuse if you ask me). Geralt keeps saying he didn't know Yennefer even existed after his memory loss, which is why he didn't mind having a relationship with Triss. And Triss never mentioned about Yennefer, because she wanted to be with Geralt.

So yeah, that's why she's mad at Geralt.

So do you think Geralt and Yen were meant to be together like people say? Going from a lore point here, personally I find Triss more attractive.

...which is only a half-truth, because we spent all of Witcher 2 trying to track down Yen while also banging Triss. Really, Yennefer is pissed that Geralt slept with Triss back in the day and his new relationship with her is a painful reminder of the original betrayal. Besides, Triss should know better, that ho has been warned! /asthewitcherturns

Yes but in Witcher 2, Geralt doesn't know it's his "ex" GF. He just knows there's a random girl that saved him from death. That's it.

[MrFrengLitch]

And from a lore point of view, Yes, Geralt and Yennefer should be together. They were always meant together and also, way before the djinn bounded them together, Geralt didn't want to be with any other girls than Yennefer as soon as he met her for the first time. It sort of was like "love at first sight".

Also, Geralt is Ciri's spiritual father while Yennefer is Ciri's spiritual mother. And Triss is Ciri's spiritual sister... So yeah. A bit awkward for Ciri if Triss and Geralt end up together.

He has most of his memory back in Witcher 2, it's his time with the Hunt that is a mystery. I'd have to replay the first two games to get a sense of exactly when Geralt remembers what but it's kind of irrelevant; There's no reason for Yennefer to give Triss and Geralt a pass, Triss is utterly complicit and whether Geralt is entirely at fault depends purely on what you want to be mad at him about XD

[Flazz]

So I made a mistake getting with Triss? No way to redo do that except for replaying 10 hours?

Follow your heart, Who give a darn about lore.

[MrFrengLitch]

Yeah I mean it's your choice in the end. If you prefer Triss, go with Triss then. But lore wise, yes Yen and Geralt should end up together.
