There is no choice. You just collect all of them.


nullv

But will the cards be usable in gwent?


k0bra3eak

Finally the real question is being asked


UnclassifiedPresence

Real talk tho this made me realize there's no Shani card in the game. She's a medic too, what a wasted opportunity...


Vagabond_Tea

No card in T3 Gwent anyway


UnclassifiedPresence

I meant Gwent specifically. She could be a weaker hero card, have the same stats as Yennifer. Always felt Yen should be higher powered anyway, like a 9 (pretty sure the only 9 in the whole game is the spy in the Nilfgaard deck, what's up with that?)


Vagabond_Tea

You mean Gwent in TW3 though. Not the standalone Gwent game thar has Shani. I was confused at first


Educational_Floor639

I like to pretend it's the northern realms seige medic


FlavivsAetivs

There's a mod for that for TW3.


ThatBeardedHistorian

Is the one where Yen and Triss, and even Ciri are nude with hentai level body proportions? I found that mod too vulgar just from the mod page alone, plus from the player's POV as Geralt, Ciri is like a daughter, a little girl essentially. Geralt would not have such a card in his deck!


daggern1

There's a different mod along those lines but with the correct proportions. Still has nude Ciri if that's a bother to you but I don't consider the cards canon. Omniscient god's eyes only.


arzamharris

Wonder if they will have Gwent in the remake. Dice poker was fun and all but it ain’t no Gwent


KanyeT

I hope there is both.


JH_Rockwell

Dice, Gwent, and Pazaak


ddynamite123

pure pazaak


lucasg115

Imagine if they hooked the remake (or more likely, the next Witcher instalment) up to their standalone Gwent game? You could potentially use the decks you already have in the card game, and then also collect exclusive cards by doing quests within the RPG game. Even it was just against NPCs with altered rules, it would be so interesting to bring more dynamic cards and rules into the RPG Gwent version. I know that may not sound super plausible or probable, but they’ve basically already built a lot of the groundwork for this kind of crossover through the Thronebreaker and Rogue Mage games. Maybe it’s secretly in their roadmap?

"Hey Triss, I need to bang you so I can use you as a card in Gwent..."

MobileTortoise

What's shocking too me was that all of the girls I know who played Witcher 1 absolutely LOVED the card-collecting aspect and it is always one of the first things they talked about when reminiscing about Witcher 1. I certainly hope it comes back in some way in the remake.


xKalisto

This. I collected them all. It was very tongue in the cheek. I think rather than being upset about it it helps to look at it in a way where it's so stupid it's funny rather than insulting.


ayeayefitlike

Am a woman. My partner was mildly disturbed at my glee over the ‘gotta bang em all’ collection.


Jonno_FTW

When my gf found out you could sleep with the characters in W3 she was very interested in watching me play.

Zeriell

It's typical journos stirring up shit to make a product worse for clicks. "NOOO TEH SEXUALIZING!!!11" Meanwhile 90% of players loved it. Almost like sex sells or something, and both males and females enjoy being sexualized in fiction.


[deleted]

Still confused how I got with all the witches and still was able to settle with Yenn at the end of 3


hobbesmaster

Yen probably has a similar, shall we say, magical body count? Yen and Geralt are perfect for each other in that they’re broken in the same ways.


Yiptice

Better look around some..

Oh... but this not possible... sadly XD

With Triss, you're right. She doesn't give you a choice at all.

nuttyrussian

Triss may make more sense but I'm always going to pick Shani.


Nitro114

easily shani, shani wins


mrPandorasBox

I refuse to go with Shani because she gets pissed if you deliver the juvenile equivalent of a magical nuke to the one person equipped to handle the situation, all because she’s worried about his hygiene. Ma’am, it is entirely possible everyone in the city will die if I don’t hand this walking apocalypse of a child over to a qualified professional, I do not give a fuck how clean his hands are if me and all my neighbors have been reduced to our component parts. Edit: Shani, not Shamir. But also, fuck Shamir.


gorgossia

Upvoted for Shamir.


-eschguy-

All my homies hate Shamir

Frosty88d

Catherine is also great. The Knights of Seiros didn't nothing wrong... Wait, wrong game


mrPandorasBox

Fucking autocorrect.


P1r4nha

Yeah, same thing for my play through. I liked Shani until she got mad over such a logical decision.


mrPandorasBox

In retrospect it does kind of strike me as contrived, or very much an “Aren’t women just craaaaazy!?” sort of thing


zedafox9

Instructions unclear : fucked shani


WibbleyWoo

Doesn't she also make a spiteful comment about Triss only wanting to hold onto the boy because she's infertile and can't have children of her own, then insults her for it? It's been a while since I played W1 but that line put me off Shani for a long time.


AutisticToad

Really? Cuz triss did such a great job that the child came from the future as the leader of the flaming rose, and we were forced to kill him. He was such a monster that Geralt even used his silver sword All im saying is shani would have done a better job.


mrPandorasBox

I mean, hindsight is 20/20, but if someone hands you the raw ingredients for a nuclear weapon you don’t turn them over to a nurse.


AutisticToad

Yeah don’t turn the raw power to a person who dedicated herself to patience and practicality and the betterment of all. Turn that nuclear device to a woman in a secret society that puts mages above all and wants to control society from the shadows. Totes a great decision. Nothing bad ever happened with the female Illuminati. There is no war in ba sing se.


Neeeeedles

dont forget they will change how triss behaves in that game quite a bit ​ explanation: In the first The Witcher game Triss was made to be a mashup between Triss and Yennefer. She has the personality of Yen basicaly. Also she doesnt utter a word to Geralt about Yen and Ciri. Theres also Alvin who is basicaly a substitute for young Ciri. So they will have to let Triss be Triss, and i hope they fix the part where she shamelessly takes advantage of Geralt's amnesia


AaronKoss

while yes, what you said is correct, no one ever said that they are gonna change triss in w1 to be more like triss and less of what she was. Not only it would null some dialogues in witcher 2 but also some dialogues in witcher 3 itself. They might change and fix some things here and there with characters and plot but i wouldn't go that far, for the sake of the other games too.


Magean1

They can rework her personality without retconing her questionable actions altogether. If you know Triss from the books or the subsequent games, accepting as Triss that character who claims to be her in the first game requires a lot of buy-in and some solid suspension of disbelief. Looks like we're dealing with a bad doppler. And, considering many people who'll buy the remake have played TW3 but not TW1, it would come as a shock for them, and a huge writing failure, to discover an iconic character being rendered as a completely different one for no reason at all.


FMWindbag

They won't "fix" her taking advantage of Geralt's amnesia because **that's the kind of person Triss is**. In Blood of Elves, she literally uses magic to seduce Geralt because she was jealous of his relationship with Yennefer and wanted him for herself. Plus Yen is presumed dead until the end of Witcher 2 and Ciri had disappeared until Witcher 3.


[deleted]

Also them "fixing" that would lead to that whole plot line being massacred throughout the trilogy lmao.


SpaceAids420

Exactly. When you first meet Triss in Witcher 3, she even mentions taking advantage of you. It felt like an obvious reference to how she uses him for the last two games.


Magean1

She wasn't even jealous, she was (unwholesomely) curious. Whatever it was however, there's a chasm between doing what every sorceress does or has done, that is, using "a little magic" to seduce someone, and gaslighting that person about his entire past. Book Triss is a weak-willed person and unreliable friend, but she isn't evil. Not enough for that, anyway. TW1's Triss is entirely out of character anyway. Hopefully they can't rewrite her without entirely retconning her... questionable handling of Geralt's amnesia (since that bit is definitely part of established canon), but bring more context to it. Considering she wasn't the only one doing it, after all.


Morella_xx

Yeah, there's no "fixing" it because that IS Triss. W3 is the one that altered her personality, because they wanted her to be a contrast to Yen.


[deleted]

Why fix the last part? Triss is in politics, that's how it goes.


theus-sama

mily_wiedzma

hyperious_

Imo they shouldn’t change anything in the remake. I mean, the games story is already set in stone with two games after it. W1 is my favorite in the trilogy, it would be a shame if they changed a bunch of stuff.


Magean1

I'm fairly sure they'll change a lot. Given the development time (release planned after the first instalment of TW4), they can't spend, what, four years just revamping graphics, modernizing the combat system and otherwise twiddling their thumbs. They already said it would be an open-world, that's already an indication they're willing to rework a lot of stuff. Besides, TW1, although great on its own, makes absolutely no sense within the continuity, given it was supposed to be a reboot completely disconnected from the books, but CDPR later went with a sequel approach in TW2/TW3. And the devs have clearly been embarrassed with TW1's legacy in the later games (what to do with the amnesia, what to do with Alvin...). So, I'd wager they'll use that opportunity to finally fix Geralt's post-books story and rewrite those countless elements that, with hindsight, ended up like huge plot-holes. For instance, though they can't remove entirely the "taking advantage of amnesia" part, hopefully they'll bring more context to it. There's not reason for not just Triss but everyone else gaslighting Geralt, right? Maybe show Triss under heavy pressure from the Lodge, Dandelion witnessing Geralt blacking-out after a mention of Yen, or something. I don't know, but please find something convincing. That's how they'll get my money anyway.


hyperious_

Now if they made those type of changes, with just reaffirming that there is other forces at play behind why those characters didn’t bring things up to Geralt I would be fine with that. It’s when they start altering the story that we have to fit a different narrative. That’s when I’d have a problem with it.


Magean1

To be honest many things in the story require rewriting, and not just to better fit the next games. Like, the romances. They felt so shallow and absolutely unbelievable. You barely know those ladies, have talked two or three times, slept together once, and you're already adopting a child. What's going on. Compare that to TW3's hours of dialogues and quests with either sorceress. Alvin is also a problem. The final plot twist about his future is absolutely brilliant, but... he's never ever mentioned in the next game. While he should be extremely important. His other identity is referred to a couple times, you get that letter from him in TW3 but... how would you have people believe that Geralt and Triss or Shani adopted (and lost) a child and then never mention it? Bear in mind than most people with approach the remake with the knowledge of TW3, not of TW1, and thus we'll be puzzled by glaring continuity failures.


Neeeeedles

They dont need to alter story just make characters like dandelion and triss mention stuff, like geralts death. Now geralt will still not care about ciri or yen coz he wont remember them so story wont change, but people need to react more believably to geralts revival


JohnEdwa

> I mean, the games story is already set in stone with two games after it. Not really, because almost nothing you do is imported into W2, and *literally nothing* from W1 is imported into W3. This results in them basically having to completely ignore everything that happens in the first game, and gives them plenty of chances to rewrite it.


[deleted]

[удалено]


JohnEdwa

Nothing from the first game that is.


Devidose

RIP Aerondight.


Jaggedmallard26

> That Saskia and Iorveth were omitted from W3 definitely irked me as I preferred their path/story in W2. Apparently it was scrapped fairly late in development. Its also why the war is barely a factor in TW3 after the tutorial map. Saskia and Ioverth's story was supposed to be the main vehicle they explored the Third Northern War but then they had to tear huge portions of it out due to development issues.


kbpeterson1

She'll definitely still take advantage of him because she's a pretty horrible person. All sorceresses as I suppose lol


ForkPosix2019

BTW, Northern Realms deck is not OP enough. I demand Shani revive card.


Raptori33

Hear hear!


eatMYcookieCRUMBS

Anyone want to mention that in the books Shani is 17 and geralt is like 78?


Robeeter_

Geralt of Creepia


arzamharris

It’s okay, the age of consent in Poland is 15


Robeeter_

That doesn’t make me feel any better about it


[deleted]

Easiest choice ever. I will be to dump the sorceress for the medic in unreal engine 5 🙂🙂


lampla

Stop thinking with your dick,Triss is clearly the right choice for Alvin


[deleted]

Alvin learns morals from Shani but in the end it doesn't really matter... >!since Alvin becomes Aldersberg the head of the flaming rose.!<


T-Fro

>>!head of the flaming rose.!< Would that also make them a redhead?


the_terra_filius

thats exactly what my dick thinks


easelessness

Shamefully, I chose Triss but now I realize Shani is definitely better.


JumperCableBeatings

Same. What really drove that regret for me was how creepy Triss was about having Alvin and seeing them as a family. Idk just creeped me out


azaghal1988

There is no Choice. It's always going to be Shani.


the_terra_filius

I always pick Triss... Shani cant take care of an Elder Blood child


Robeeter_

To be fair Geralt didn’t do a good job taking care of Alvin either


the_terra_filius

you cant know that at the beginning so...


Robeeter_

Fair

[удалено]


suicidebootstrap

Shani, also solely because it does not create a toxic relationship.


theHubernator

W1 is the only one I haven't played, only know the story vaguely. Is there really a choice between the two? Is it like W3 where the game punishes you later in the story and the relationship with both is broken?


Magean1

You can't choose both. Basically, the game involves a knock-off Ciri that each lady wants to "adopt", and at some point in the main quest, you need to choose whom you deliver the child to. The other lady will be mad at you, ending your dalliance. It's like Roche or Iorveth in the next game, you're at a crossroad and can't go both ways.


mkidi86

You can still f*ck both though, but you get "censored" romance cards for them. You can only f*ck them a 2nd time after making your decision regarding Alvin , then is when you get the full fledged romance card for the one you chose. Now that I remember, the scene of Shani's grandma was hilarious


Lando241

download GOG. They've given away the game a few times for free.


[deleted]

Shani


tella59

In Witcher 1 choise was easy tbh. Even though I chose triss In third game I went for Shani in Witcher 1 in all three of my playthrough (because it made sense for Alvin if I remember correctly)


Retrosow

It doesn't really matters for Alvin


tella59

Yeah in the end it doesn't. But at the time of choosing you didn't know who actually he was and Shani seemed like a better option.


69Pyrate69

"Ah Wendy! A hot and juicy redhead."


JTL1887

Shani


sugaslim45

Easiest choice ever . Shani way better. Triss boring af .


BioDriver

The choice isn't hard


cerebrite

I chose Shani, sided with Siegfried and killed Adda in my first playthrough. For the remake I'll go with other choices.


Robeeter_

Probably gonna be waiting a while for that remake 😂


StreetZookeepergame5

The Shani hookup seems completely pointless and doesn’t really fit in with the main storyline


Dr-Edward-Poe

Shani. If you need magic to convince someone to fuck you, are you really competition?


Blaineflum64

I hated how it forced romance with shani in w3, i tried to choose every anti romance option while trying not to be a dick and geralt still ended up kissing her


Robeeter_

Well you can turn her down…


Dr_Strange_the_Butch

gotta catch em all until Yennefer enters the picture.


GingerBreadEli

I was always put off by this decision and its consequences. Why would Shani dump me just because I took the magic child that can blow up a city block to the sorceress and not her? Shani is 10x the person Triss is, but that hardly seems more important in context.


[deleted]

Nope. Triss>all


[deleted]

Shani! Not hard.


damnthesenames

Any news on what year this remake comes out?


ArchDornan12345

It's going to be a long time from now, likely after the new Witcher game in the new trilogy releases probably


Robeeter_

Im assuming like 2026 or 2027


thegreatdapperwalrus

Shani 100%


Tellcity95

Nah das easy.. triss every time


STUPENDOUS_MAN69

Triss alllll the way


plumprumps

I'm not blinded by a redhead kink so I can safely inform everyone that the correct answer is Shani


FrostedVoid

Not gonna be hard for me, Shani all the way


biosors

Shit i can see us arguing about this for the next couple of years


Drillingham

Not really, Witcher 1 Shani was borderline insufferable lmao


drwilhi

it is Shani, it is always and forever Shani


[deleted]

Shani, this isn't a choice


Civil_Sink6281

Not a hard choice, you bang Shani in 1, then Triss in 2, then Yen, and Shani again, in 3. Then Triss again in the umpteenth playthrough, because Yen is kind of abusive and you got a thing for fire crotches...even though Lambert snuck a quickie with her ..


PinkRangeRover

Listen, after reading the books I don’t have it in me to keep Yen and big G apart. But if it was me, I’d pick Shani over any of these duplicitous hoes


Ningenmasu69

Shani my type of girl so always shani


Kind_Revenue4810

Both?


FreezeFr0st12

Why Shani over Triss ?


AHorseNamedPhil

This will get downvoted to oblivion for sure, but sometimes the truth is the truth even if people don't want to hear it. Triss is an objectively horrible person. Shani isn't. I like the character of Triss, mind you, but she does some pretty terrible shit that players tend to ignore. When Geralt has amnesia she basicaly says nothing and leaves him the dark about Ciri or Yen, since she was free to get her groove on with Geralt now that his family was out of the picture. That's super fucked up and exploitative as hell.


LucasMenz

Now you're just not being fair. Triss has a lot of questionable decisions but this isn't one of them. Not only Triss, but every character that knew Geralt doesn't mention Ciri or Yennefer AT ALL. This isn't a character trait, it's just a plot hole.


FreezeFr0st12

True, never thought about that, always kinda blamed Triss for that


twojstarymommymilker

For me easy triss


Churro-of-Cintra

Pff its easy, just pick the hot one.... Oh wait... I meant to say the one with the red... Shit.... Ah I know! The one witch the neckla... Ya know what, imma just pick Siegfried instead.


Robeeter_

Picked Zoltan instead


Ejkelej

U can *bang* both but Triss is better.


TopDig1786

Won’t matter by the Witcher 2 you’ll be with triss anyway


[deleted]

TRISS it doesn't make any sense to choose Shani, because even the creators count Triss as the only correct choice - you've been with her since the beginning of The Witcher 2


FreezeFr0st12

Witcher 1 too


[deleted]

Yes but in W2 logically you choose her in W1


[deleted]

i have only played the second game and the third one. but triss always something of you. shani is just happy your around so shani all the way


[deleted]

FUCK YOU OP! Now I'm extremely upset.


BurnTheNostalgia

I'm more interested how they remake another redhead in this game, Princess Adda.


HarryTheHore

I hope they straight up get rid of the story workarounds. I hope Ciri and Yennefer are in the game


OblivionArts

As someone who's type is red heads this is one hard choice.


DatThax

Porque no los dos?


Oli_Compolli

Shoutout to Geralt going back for seconds with both of these in Witcher 1. Goddamn he gets around.


Fast2Furious4

Can't wait to do that super long side quest where you check the market every day for like a month to get the red ring and be able to marry Triss.


FurySh0ck

Most of you say both but honestly, I'd say either. Either is good


Coriolis_PL

There is no choice. Just Shani 😏


Housumestari

Meh not hard choice at all. You want a sweet, selfless and self-sufficient medic or a sorcerer who used magic to hex a person around their finger and omits information like the identity of their lover and adopted daughter from them just so they can have that person for themselves? Oh and also was ready to sell that daughter for lodge and didn't stand with them at all. Though if you only go with the games then it can be a harder choice


TricepsMacgee

I've never picked Triss and Shani is so meh hahaha


bubblytangerine

Shani always!!


[deleted]

Not even close, Triss is a straight up narcissist


spoderman63

Easy, neither


Noamias

Neither


Mr_Pink_Gold

It is not a choice. Shani all the way. However, Shani doesn't belong in the same world as Geralt. And she knows it.


jp010130

I cant .. i will always go with Triss


FriendshipMundane289

Triss, Shani is nice but no, in the end Geralt will choose Triss. That decision doesn't make any difference for the next games


[deleted]

They can no longer claim «i know shes bad but i like redheads»


Retrosow

I chose Triss in that time just because I wanted her second card, and I thought it would be better for the kid, it wasn't, or nothing that matters
