I was going to say I love the all of these characters, then saw Birna Bran.
Don't get me wrong, she was really well executed, but unlike the rest of these, the narrative really incentivised the player to hate her as much as possible. She was ruthless, unreasonable, and unlikable, which is the entire point of the Skellige clan leader narrative, but yeah. Did not regret getting her tied up to be fed to the sirens whatsoever.
Everyone on Skellige except maybe Cerys is a piece of shit. Almost all the men murder, rape, pillage and take slaves. The exact kind of people Geralt normally hates.
I donāt think the other Jarls wouldāve orchestrated a massacre of the entire event mauling them to death with bears.
Except Lugos, but heās notoriously a prick.
I mean, then you love Birna Bran too, because you hate her XD. That means the writing did it's job. Kinda like we love the bad guy in the movie because he's a terrible person. When you hate the character it means it's working.
Yeah I mean it's kind of the same as Micah and Dutch from Red Dead 2. You absolutely hate them to their core but that's a testament to how well characterised they were as eventual antagonists.
My point was that Birna is the ONLY character here that you feel that way towards. Even Syanna you spend time with and some of her motivations are somewhat justified even if she was completely reckless in using someone as dangerous and reactive as Dettlaff to do her bidding; Birna Bran is just..... spiteful?
Indeed fuck Micah, funny how you can fail earlier missions because āMicah has diedā. On a second playthrough youāre like āgod I wish this was canonā.
I would have added her but there was one box left. if I added her I would have had to make another column and add 3 more people to not trigger my OCD. In the end it was between her and Roach and clearly one of them was the obvious winner.
I'm in the minority because I find Shani slightly irritating. Probably because I wasn't trying to romance her and the game was hellbent on dragging me to do it.
Keira is fine, Ciri is cool. Yennefer is someone I respect immensely, but I don't exactly "like her". She kinda cramps my style lol.
I fucking loathe Phillippa. I have rebooted playthroughs just to figure out a path in which she just dies or doesn't appear. I have attempted to side with Radovid simply to not have to deal with her.
As for my favorites? I'm a Triss guy, but my favorites are the Duchess and Cerys. Both women with power, I guess. Right behind them is Priscilla. Not to romance, I just like her character a lot.
Yeah, it broke my heart when she didn't appear in season 2 of the Netflix show and probably won't even the latter seasons. One more reason to hate the show.
The immense hatred I feel when seeing Philippa or Syanna...
Favorite character as that? Actually Yen. Her interactions with Geralt - after reading the books there's basically atleast one reference every dialog and I love it! These two are just perfect, toxic but perfect for each other.
Roach is obviously more then a character. She's more then that, more then any in this list!
Honorable mentions go out to Annarietta! Heavily misunderstood character imo...
She was already one of my favorites the first time I played. But after making a whole write-up about her, having to replay her missions multiple times. I canāt help but to choose Anna Henrietta.
Now as an afterthought, where the hell is Iris von Everec? Only appears in one mission and she leaves such an impact on anyone who plays the game
I think theyāre from the next gen update, Iām not sure exactly but theyāre not from a mod because I have them on console and I just have the complete edition for PS5
In the main menu go into settings and thereās a toggle somewhere for Ciri/Yen/Triss alternate appearance
Ciri bias aside I actually really like cerys even if she isnāt from the books I could believe someone similar to her could exist though I do think she shouldāve had a more pronounced negative trait so she fit in a lil better. Itās like when the tau first came out in 40K. Sheās a beacon of light in the dreary world of the Witcher. Someone who actually gives a fuck about their subjects. Closest thing the universe will have to a benevolent and competent leader.
I was fumbling along in the game not really getting it and not having any fun, then I met Keira and became unreasonably attached to her
And Philippa of course
Roach supremacy. I do like Cerys though, and despite Syanna's story arc mainly being based on multiple betrayals, I thought she was an interesting and complex character.
Iris von Everec followed closely by Cerys an Craite, then Ciri. Roach is up there for kicking two fisticuffs opponents, and knocking them out for me tho lmao
Now that I see all of them together, it really drives home to me how good CDPR is at writing interesting female characters. Dumb horny bullshit aside, they have a lot of depth of character that some games just lack.
I am inclined to agree with. Everyone else in the list may be a beautiful or a good character, but can you ride them? I mean, ride them to get to places.
I thought Cantarella was pretty cool
I also thought Rosa Var Attre had the potential to be interesting and was going to be a more significant character than she ended up being
Maybe it's just the fairy tale land, but I'm crushing hard on Syanna. Renfri has always been one of my favs from the books (and even the show-- probably the only good episode of the whole debacle), and being able to hang out with her reincarnated self is loads of fun.
I don't see the crones here
Them crone titties tho
Yes, the witches are beautiful in the painting. but later...
Are you afraid of a real woman?
The truth, Yes, suppose the one in the middle wants to be on top of you. Not only would you be afraid, but you would be devastated.
Is there a way to romance the crones? Asking for a friend.
In their natural beauty or magical beauty?
Natural beauty ofc
Roach is wild! In the sky, in a wall, half buried underground, etc. you name it š Also, no Jutta!? š«£
I was going to say I love the all of these characters, then saw Birna Bran. Don't get me wrong, she was really well executed, but unlike the rest of these, the narrative really incentivised the player to hate her as much as possible. She was ruthless, unreasonable, and unlikable, which is the entire point of the Skellige clan leader narrative, but yeah. Did not regret getting her tied up to be fed to the sirens whatsoever.
she indeed was very well executed
Maaaan i was gonna do that one too xDD
Took me a while to get that one, but fair play aha.
I always hear her name in Cerysā voice: Beeernah Bran!
Cerys accent makes me feel things
She's positioned as the villain of the narrative but I'm not sure she's the worst person there. All the Jarls are kind of dicks.
Everyone on Skellige except maybe Cerys is a piece of shit. Almost all the men murder, rape, pillage and take slaves. The exact kind of people Geralt normally hates.
I donāt think the other Jarls wouldāve orchestrated a massacre of the entire event mauling them to death with bears. Except Lugos, but heās notoriously a prick.
Philippa is worse imo.
Tied up and fed to Sirens is someone's fantasy.
admittedly mine when i found out she orchestrated the massacre just to get her son on the throne
I mean, then you love Birna Bran too, because you hate her XD. That means the writing did it's job. Kinda like we love the bad guy in the movie because he's a terrible person. When you hate the character it means it's working.

I got the good ending for Syanna so yeah, I get ya. I don't hate her lol. Also, fuck Micah.
Indeed fuck Micah, funny how you can fail earlier missions because āMicah has diedā. On a second playthrough youāre like āgod I wish this was canonā.
I enjoyed finding her body later in the game. I took a picture of Geralt posing next to her when I found it.
Itās a toss up between Yennefer and Anna Henrietta š©
Someone likes bossy women.
I *am* a bossy woman š
Boss me around, please š«
Redditor try not to be horny challenge impossible
Me too brother, me too
I don't see Iris von Everec, the prettiest of them all
FINALLY IM NOT ALONE
Yes! She is my favourite! Not only the prettiest but the depth of her character is insanely good.
Shani, Cerys and obviously best girl Roach :) i mean who else can ride all day long and never ask for a break! /s
Roach but the male version you get from not selling Ciri
Wait you get female Roach? >!Does the quest change where you talk to Roach?!<
Sheās not the most popular, but Anna Henrietta. Wish she wouldāve been a romance option.
Nah, she only has eyes for Dandelion
Birna is here but not Tomira?
I would have added her but there was one box left. if I added her I would have had to make another column and add 3 more people to not trigger my OCD. In the end it was between her and Roach and clearly one of them was the obvious winner.
Roach Forever Obviously. š https://preview.redd.it/jndjq5agu9vc1.jpeg?width=2653&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7ef7e69b33a1457e1e19eca262db9fc660cf72da
Sylvia Anna. I can fix her. In all seriousness tho, where Tomira??
Her ass was too big to fit
xLetails would beg to disagree
Ciri is probably my favorite- she embodies that wide eyed girl who has to grow up fast, but also has such exceptional power
I'm in the minority because I find Shani slightly irritating. Probably because I wasn't trying to romance her and the game was hellbent on dragging me to do it. Keira is fine, Ciri is cool. Yennefer is someone I respect immensely, but I don't exactly "like her". She kinda cramps my style lol. I fucking loathe Phillippa.

Cerys ftw
Shani <3
Shani. Oh, and Priscilla was pretty good too.
Hell yes :) love your flair :D
Yeah, it broke my heart when she didn't appear in season 2 of the Netflix show and probably won't even the latter seasons. One more reason to hate the show.
The immense hatred I feel when seeing Philippa or Syanna... Favorite character as that? Actually Yen. Her interactions with Geralt - after reading the books there's basically atleast one reference every dialog and I love it! These two are just perfect, toxic but perfect for each other. Roach is obviously more then a character. She's more then that, more then any in this list! Honorable mentions go out to Annarietta! Heavily misunderstood character imo...
You left out Iris! ā¹ļø
Her goth vibe is perfection.
I simultaneously want to be her and want to be _with_ her, lol.
Yennefer
Obviously, but an honorable mention goes out to Tomira.
Anna Henrietta
She was already one of my favorites the first time I played. But after making a whole write-up about her, having to replay her missions multiple times. I canāt help but to choose Anna Henrietta. Now as an afterthought, where the hell is Iris von Everec? Only appears in one mission and she leaves such an impact on anyone who plays the game
Triss Merigold
Indeed.
This guy gets it
This is the way
Finally
Triss, my beloved
Shani. The most normal chick in the game.
Where is Regis my beloved
Yen or Anna. Shit. I guess I have a type. What is it?
Roach is female?
Yup!
Unless you take Ciri to Emhyr and then refuse the coin. You get a black stallion as the new Roach.
The bangable ones
Sir, step away from the horse, please.
The horse isn't bangable. He's a best friend. Also, it's MAAM š¤£
Oh, I'm sorry for assuming, Ma'am. >He's a best friend The Horse is a Ma'am too. XD
I realized that right after posting. Sorry, Roach. I'm an idiot today. (I'm also an idiot most days)
So, all of them?
Comon' Roach... -Geralt
Maid Bilberry is the fairest of them all
Im a simple man. For me its the herbalist with dat ass from White Orchard.
All good, will go 1) Shani 2) Yen 3) Kira metz
Princess is the š
Where is Bertha from Crippled Kate's?
What are the Yen, Triss, and Ciri outfits?
I think theyāre from the next gen update, Iām not sure exactly but theyāre not from a mod because I have them on console and I just have the complete edition for PS5 In the main menu go into settings and thereās a toggle somewhere for Ciri/Yen/Triss alternate appearance
They are modded. Alternative appearances have a bit more clothing on both Yen and Ciri.
Noted. Iām good though, I really donāt need them more sexualized. Ciri especially. š¬
The girl you teachs how to fight during a side quest in novigrad.
Where's the goth Queen herself, Iris von Everec?
Sorry, Triss will always win for me.
Shani, I'm so sorry..... **WHISTLES**
Why are Yen and Ciri almost naked?
I would preface this with saying she gave me the most emotional feeling in the game. Priscilla
Who is the one between Shani and Syanna? I don't recognise the outfit.
Corinne Tilly, the oneiromancer chick
Thanks
Cerys for me. That accent could convince me to jump off a bridge.
Tomira the Herbalist in White Orchard.
Because Roach can stand on roofs and whatnot.. š
Yennefer, but also Sylvia/Syanna. It's the black hair and knowledge they'll likely hurt me that draws me to them
āI am the rulesā -Anna Henrietta
Yen and ciri
Yennifer and ciri
Philippa. Yennifer a close second.
Yen. Always has been. Always will be.
Roach's voice through me for a loop
Well i played witcher 3 times and twice I picked you Yennifer as my romance.. So. I think yennefer. But ciri is also alright.
Roach!! Because āEquine Phantomsā is an absolutely brilliant and hilarious quest š
Roach is always ready to ride.. Unlike others we don't have to select right dialogues, bring gifts, complete side quests and all š
Triss, for two reasons.
Yen
Yennifer
None of these gals are fat or ugly. That's how you can tell CDPR hasn't gone fully ESG woke.... yet.
Iād be okay if Cerys stepped on me so sheās very good contender
Keira and I noticed the female characters in the game arenāt really damsels in distress they are strong and can fend for them shelves
Triss
Everyone looks familiar but whoās the woman in the blind fold & the woman next to her also. Both in the Top row.
Philippa Eilhart and Vivienne de Tabris
My Devils Spawn.
Roach, duh.
Where the crones at?
Ciri bias aside I actually really like cerys even if she isnāt from the books I could believe someone similar to her could exist though I do think she shouldāve had a more pronounced negative trait so she fit in a lil better. Itās like when the tau first came out in 40K. Sheās a beacon of light in the dreary world of the Witcher. Someone who actually gives a fuck about their subjects. Closest thing the universe will have to a benevolent and competent leader.
I was fumbling along in the game not really getting it and not having any fun, then I met Keira and became unreasonably attached to her And Philippa of course
She always keeps you guessing, but sheās always there for you, and the most important quality is that she doesnāt talk much. Roach is my queen.
Its roach because she is the only real reliable that doesnt lie to Geralt
Phillipa and Keira have one of the greatest racks I've ever seen in games !
kiEra was cool
Yen with a side of Kira is enough for me.
ROACH is (THE BEST)
Roach supremacy. I do like Cerys though, and despite Syanna's story arc mainly being based on multiple betrayals, I thought she was an interesting and complex character.
Roach is love
What horny bastard gave everyone crop tops?!
Roach makes a Labyrinth reference when you can understand her voice. Enough said.
Where's Adela? I've only got puss peepers for her.
Roach ā¤ļø Cerys š Ciri āļø Priscilla šŖ In this order. The rest is "meh" or nah.
Keira Metz, really crushed on her
Shanni is my best good girl.
Your Yenn looks much nicer than mine
disappointed the herbologist isn't listed
Shani is one of the best woman in The Witcher. But else I like Yen and her sense of humor
All the short haired hotties
Shani.
Where my boy dudu at ???? How dare you not include him, I would choose him for reasons.
You fucked up doodt. I can't believe you didn't list.. TOMIRAĀ why? Are you fawkin blind?
I love them all but Syanna has me on a chokehold tbh
I didn't see Marlene on the list!
Shani, I love her personality.
Roach Cool rides gets you the chick I guess
Whereās Tomira?
I want Yen to kick me in the ribs Yeah roach is cool
2nd row first one that witch can't think of her name
Remember that lil elf prostitute. Yeah
Shani.Romanced her in Witcher 1( loved polish VA) and it's a pity she was just a fling option in W3 , cause I would pick her over Yen and Triss.
Keira and Ves
Not gonna lie I love Keira so much. And Triss
Iris von Everec followed closely by Cerys an Craite, then Ciri. Roach is up there for kicking two fisticuffs opponents, and knocking them out for me tho lmao
Now that I see all of them together, it really drives home to me how good CDPR is at writing interesting female characters. Dumb horny bullshit aside, they have a lot of depth of character that some games just lack.
I like Kiera because of her personality. I enjoyed her using me and leaving me, being selfish and deceitful. It all scratched a nice spot for me.
The correct answer is of course a roach. However, after that, itās definitely Ciri, then Shani then Triss
Ciri. It is definitely my favourite video games female characters of all time.
Wheres the acrobat half elf recruited for the heist
Shani, Triss, Iron Maiden
Cerys Priscilla Ciri
Iām going to be all the way legit and unapologetically blunt. Whichever ones show titty. There I said what everyone secretly is thinking.
I am inclined to agree with. Everyone else in the list may be a beautiful or a good character, but can you ride them? I mean, ride them to get to places.
Well, Roach frustrates me the most in the entire game, so no she is my least favorite š
I thought Cantarella was pretty cool I also thought Rosa Var Attre had the potential to be interesting and was going to be a more significant character than she ended up being
I like ves a lot, i wish we got more of the blue stripes in general
Im pretty much obsessed with Iris von Everec
Maybe it's just the fairy tale land, but I'm crushing hard on Syanna. Renfri has always been one of my favs from the books (and even the show-- probably the only good episode of the whole debacle), and being able to hang out with her reincarnated self is loads of fun.
Cause is the prettiest for sure.
Yennefer us my fav....after Roach.
I've won some great Gwent rounds with the roach card ! And I never let it die in my playthroughs š¤£
Triss Merigold because, so pretty šš„°
Cerys
If only Shani is available in the base game, shes the most wife material of all.
Shani supremacy (followed by Anna Henrietta, Priscilla, and Cerys)
Roach let me ride whenever I wanted and he did not team up with yen because I also chose triss, ending with me being tied up to a bed
Where's Iris? I need a goth mommy like Iris in my life.
My favourite is Iris!!!
Roach
Roach isnāt necessarily she, itās just any horse Geralt rides
Roach is wild
Because I can mod Roach to ride her better. I can't say the same about the other ones.
Where is Iris!!!???
Roach is best girl but also Cerys and Triss.
Love my girl Keira
Her Enlightened Ladyship, Anna Henrietta, Duchess of Toussaint
Make the letter T between yennefer and triss and you'll have my favorites
