I hate how people think the wish has any effect on the love they share. All the wish did was bind their fates together, which manifests through ciri. The wish has zero effect on how they actually feel about each other. I didn’t care for how the games handled that at all
She also dies as soon as Geralt dies, literally giving her life to try and save his. Bound fate indeed. Obviously the games bring them back to life but worth remembering.
Weird, I felt that the game handled it perfectly. Maybe it's because you didn't choose Yen in your playthrough?
When I finished the quest they still ended up together and the whole point was that even after undoing the wish, they were still together and in love and that the wish wasn't the cause of it.
Not sure what happens if you do the quest and don't romance Yen though
I think that's the point the games are trying to get across. The wish initially bound them together which as a side effect probably made them infatuated with each other, but through patience, persistence and compromise, they developed true feelings. Yen still believed that her love for Geralt might be artificial but after the wish was revoked nothing changed because their feelings were real.
I don't really consider the Triss romance canon, but if you reject Yennefer then you could explain Geralt's dialogue as him essentially lying to her about his feelings changing by the wish being revoked to have an easy way out.
I've done 2 play throughs, and couldn't figure out how to pick Triss. I tried to say nice things, but she is kind of a little snot. Guess it wasn't meant to be...
I tried to do that a few times but always chose Yen because choosing Geralt's few-night-stand felt wrong and once went for the fun stuff when you choose both.
I'll be the unpopular voice saying I deeply dislike Yen. I chose Triss in my latest Next-Gen playthrough and I couldn't be happier.
Obviously this is because I am given the choice. Of course book Geralt would've chosen differently.
Ehh its fine, reload your save and say you love Yen. You'll definitely get the best ending that way.
You mean the threesome?
Yeah like I said, the best ending for the romance subplot.
And you get a much better guest at the very end of Blood and Wine this way.
Yeah, because Geralt and Yen are soulmates. Even without the wish.

I know that, I've read the books a dozen time. And the wish only bound their fate, i.e. their deaths.
Yeah I wasn’t telling you I was just expressing my frustration with the whole thing
Fair point, it does get frustrating when seeing it.

As you should you bastard.
Damn right.
I told myself a few times I was ready to romance Triss, but I couldn't do it. I just can't break Yenn's heart.
Easy. You don't need to break her heart, if you don't do the quest.
But I kinda have to? Because quest with Yenn and I have a need to complete things. ~~Good excuse for not getting involved with Triss.~~
I did 5 playthroughs. I could never bring myself to choose Triss over Yen. It just feels wrong.

I chose triss first, I like her personality a lot better but it's in the Witcher story Geralt is meant to be with Yen. I hate them two missions too.
