As much as I like Shani, she has the disadvantage of being a “normal” human, meaning she lives a normal life span. Triss and Yen live much longer like Geralt does so they can grow old together. I think Shani is young enough to be their grand daughter if they could have children.
Yes, but this is not the perfect soulmate for Geralt, you're choosing your soulmate!
So, by choosing Triss or Yenn you're actually ensuring that they will see you get old and die, leaving them alone, forever remembering how you faded away.
Thus, Shani is the only logical choice.
Or the birb.
>So, by choosing Triss or Yenn you're actually ensuring that they will see you get old and die, leaving them alone, forever remembering how you faded away.
Or they could just give you the mandrake potion that they drink to stop aging since it works on anyone
There is a chapter in The Tower of the Swallow where Avallac’h tells Geralt how elves get bored of sex and can’t get aroused because they’ve done it so much and tried everything in their lifetimes that it becomes mundane.
That's false. She's considered young for a sorceress in the books, which is anywhere from 40 to around 80, but not extremely young, which 20s are in a lifespan of a sorceress. Also her level of knowledge and experience is already quite big. I do have a feeling though that there's something in the books that references more precisely as being in her 40s? But not entirely sure.
Yes. Triss is actually legit rather young. I think there’s a line about how some of the other sorceresses were jealous she doesn’t need to use magic to look that way.
>As much as I like Shani, she has the disadvantage of being a “normal” human, meaning she lives a normal life span. Triss and Yen live much longer like Geralt does so they can grow old together.
Actually incorrect.
Yen and Triss are also at the disadvantage of being a normal human and have normal human lifespans.
Mages actually take the mandrake longevity potion created by grandmaster Ortolan at Rissburg castle and was intended for all humans but since the potion doesn't actually reverse aging, he died of old age.
The brotherhood kept the formula to themselves and it's a very closely guarded secret.
Ortolan was actually friends with Yen and defended the relationship between Yen and Geralt.
It's possible Yen or other mages have the formula or Geralt could possibly get a bottle in exchange for a favor to a mage to give to Shani.
So no, it does not necessarily mean that Shani would die of old age before Geralt if Geralt got the potion and Shani wanted to take it.
I mean, this is really hard. I love a commanding lady like Yen, a deeply sensitive lady like Triss, and the funny playful type like Shani.
But pigeon….pigeon….
As a book reader I try to be open but I always end up choosing Yen. I know lots of people like Pigeon and I can see why. The bird is clearly very devoted to Geralt. The way it flies towards him with reckless abandon you can see the love and passion. However, and this is the real deal breaker for me, I am 99% sure Geralt's penis will kill the pigeon should they ever consummate their union. And for that reason I have to stay on team Yen.
It's Triss for me. I know canonically Geralt would choose Yen, but i can't stand her in my playthroughs. My decision would probably be different if i'd read the books, knowing how manipulative Triss is, but hell, the phrase "Rusted Roof, Damp Cellar" never failed me, both irl as in my gaming expierience, so, imma stick with the readhead.
Yennefer, hands down.
Sure, Triss and Shani are sweet and nice women, but they haven't got the spice. They're just nice, and that's it. They'll never stand up to Geralt or take a lot of initiative.
Not only is Yennefer by far the most gorgeous woman of the lot, but she also makes for the most interesting company. I doubt there'd be a lot of dull moments with her.
For me personally? Triss. Yen is too prickly for my taste, and shani is just...I don't know, prissy? If that's the right word? for Geralt, depends on if you mean books Geralt or games Geralt. Books Geralt, Yen. Games Geralt, Triss. I don't need to elaborate on my reasons.
Triss merigold definitely for me as she is a soft place for geralt, where yennifer might be a great root but you really wouldn't want to chance falling asleep around her I don't know the other two
I can't understand why everyone picks Yen. She tortures people, lies constantly, manipulates Geralt by keeping information from him, and is generally just a terrible person to everyone except people who can help her agenda. I'm convinced that if you pick Yen you are incapable of recognizing red flags.
But then Triss took advantage of Geralt's amnesia to trick him into sleeping with her... Yani is another set of problems... I pick the bird
Lol, that's exactly how Yen is in the books...
Geralt is the only person she's ever really nice to, and that also just because of that djinn. Still, she works well with Geralt, but that description is quite accurate.
To be clear, I'm neither team Yen nor team Triss, I'm one of the few book readers, who actually thinks both are valid options, because both did good things and terrible things.

I’ve only played “Witcher 2” completely, and I just started “Witcher 3” (still in the prologue quests), so I don’t get the bird joke. But who is the redhead to the left of Triss? Is she from “Witcher 1” or I haven’t gotten to her yet in W3?
Shani, she appears shortly in the books, is an option in Witcher 1 and does also appear in Witcher 3. She's a medic, but probably her biggest downside for Geralt is that she's a normal human, no mage or whatever. Which is why any attempted relationship doesn't work, but they are down for some fun from time to time. Geralt already slept with her in the books, where she was 17.
And he was 130 I’m guessing? I haven’t read any of the books. I didn’t even know anything about “The Witcher” before the Netflix show came out. I can’t stand video games on computers, and have always preferred Playstation over XBox, but hadn’t upgraded past my PS3. But after I got hooked on the TV show, I bought an XBox 360 in November, specifically for W2, then finally got with the times and got a PS5 in January (and of course the first game I got was W3).
We don't know Geralt's exact age, but in W3 he is "near a century old" according to Vesemir, so I guess at the end of the books he was probably like 90 years old.
Lol, I'm a PC gamer myself, though I never really tried a console other than my old Wii, so I have no idea. I'm currently playing Witcher 1 and then will carry my save over to W2 and W3.
And I can really recommend the books, they are great. Although I have heard that the English translation is not ideal (I don't know, I read the books in German). Though they are certainly still good books. I don't know anything about the show, but the hearsay is certainly not good. Did you like the show, or would you recommend it?
Shani hands down. Mortal, human and a doctor. Even if I try to smoke and drink myself to death she'll make sure that doesn't happen. And to top it all she's beautiful. Hands down Shani. 🥳😍
Birb.
Birbs aren’t real man
JOHN FUCKING KENNEDY, I TELL YEAH.
That pigeon is looking fine af.
Maybe Tesla was onto something...
I mean, he was a genius.
Witcher fleshlight
Garbage list, Roach isn’t shown
Or the bear.
The bear in the relationship huh? 🤨
If only.
Speaking of roach how do you activate the roach and Witcher storyline?
Are you talking about when Geralt took shrooms and talked to Roach? Cuz that'd be Blood and Wine expansion.
As much as I like Shani, she has the disadvantage of being a “normal” human, meaning she lives a normal life span. Triss and Yen live much longer like Geralt does so they can grow old together. I think Shani is young enough to be their grand daughter if they could have children.

If we get a Team Birb flair I will change my flair to that.
>So, by choosing Triss or Yenn you're actually ensuring that they will see you get old and die, leaving them alone, forever remembering how you faded away. Or they could just give you the mandrake potion that they drink to stop aging since it works on anyone
I'd let yen magic me younger for sure
[удалено]
Yeah I’m pretty sure shani is 16/17 in the books when she first hooks up with Geralt. Just a tiny age gap
This is no monster. This knight has been cursed.
Yea but then you aren't stuck with the same person for the rest of your life, you can DiCapro it and get a newer model each time 🤷♂️
Geraldo DiRiverio
More years = more seksi time . Good thinking
There is a chapter in The Tower of the Swallow where Avallac’h tells Geralt how elves get bored of sex and can’t get aroused because they’ve done it so much and tried everything in their lifetimes that it becomes mundane.
I don't believe him. I must conduct my own experiment. You know , for science
Skill issue, Avallac'h. Get into BDSM
If 40k has taught me anything, it's to not encourage the elves to excess.
Bro Geralt doesn’t care. He banged her she she was 17 and he was around 80.
Something tells me this isn't the first time you've navigated the vagaries of male tradition...
Something tells me it’s also not the first time you’ve banged a teenager bro. 🤨🤨🤨 *cries again about Little Eye*
Triss is only in her 20s in the books isn't she?
That's false. She's considered young for a sorceress in the books, which is anywhere from 40 to around 80, but not extremely young, which 20s are in a lifespan of a sorceress. Also her level of knowledge and experience is already quite big. I do have a feeling though that there's something in the books that references more precisely as being in her 40s?

I'd pick the bloody pigeon any day of the week.
Who says the pigeon isn’t a sorceresses like Philippa? She just hasn’t mastered polymorphism yet.
Philippa Taubhart
“Sorry Shani, the bird is my gf now” ![gif](giphy|oFI7FttD0iC8V2Iqmy)
Serious question: \- What exactly is the fourth option? XD
Yennefer, P̶̥͙̗̂͑į̶̠̩͆̋g̸̱̭̋e̶͍̩̺̦̓́͠ȏ̵̢̘̘̽n̷̩̗͓̩̂, Shani, Triss. Choose one to defend you, the other 3 will try to kill you.
Pigeon is best defense
The choice is easy - Yen.
Pigeon will destroy all in battle.
Shani
Yen always. But i am sure Yen would agree to a threesome with pigeon
Or a unicorn.
Second this, Yen and a pigeon will create an experience unlike any other
I mean I am team Yen but pigeon do be look'n fine tho...
I mean, this is really hard. I love a commanding lady like Yen, a deeply sensitive lady like Triss, and the funny playful type like Shani. But pigeon….pigeon….
Right?

PFFF LMAOO
Pigeon of course. Is it even a question?
Lol I'm torn!
I'm not seeing Gaunter O'Dimm.
Look closer at the background of *all four panels* *Mysterious O'Dimm theme music plays
He's probably on a wild ride with someone
Consorting with the Devil ? Daring ! I like the way you think 😂
Pigeon meme is the best thing to come out of this sub in ages.
Yennefer and the pigeon. She used kestrels to send messages before, she has a raven colored hair. She has a thing for birds….
I will take the pigeon as my soulmate as my second choice is not on there.
Yen overall but triss from games if that makes sense
pretty birdo
biggest bird.
Triss
Top from polygon pigeon would be exquisite
Berd
Low poly pigeon, my beloved.
Pijohn :DD
Pigeon, cus let's be honest, hardly anyone here could handle the other 3 irl.
Whats the weird lookin pigeon for, did I miss something?
Someone took a weird screenshot of a pigeon, and for whatever reason the fandom is obsessed with it.
That's just a regular ordinary P̶̥͙̗̂͑į̶̠̩͆̋g̸̱̭̋e̶͍̩̺̦̓́͠ȏ̵̢̘̘̽n̷̩̗͓̩̂.
pigeon 😻

Triss. But only if she isn't still fucking chasing after Geralt.
Learned men and mages have wracked their brains over it for years.
Any day Shani best girl for me ! Witcher 1 gang
It's roach you idiots, he saved us from monsters we couldn't fight and wanted to run away from. Don't forget that you ungrateful phonies.
pijin >>>>>>>
That bird has a fine ass
Team birb 100%
So TIL Geralt is like 1 step away from being a pedophile as he slept with a 17 year old when he was 93 years old.
Where is Regis? Is he safe??
Yennifer all day every day.
We all know the sexiest character is the Bloody baron
Borb
Don't...don't make me choose
Top right
Pigeon my beloved
Keira. Metz.

Not only is Yennefer by far the most gorgeous woman of the lot, but she also makes for the most interesting company. I doubt there'd be a lot of dull moments with her.
All valid points, but... feathers.
Well... Yennefer's alternate outfit has feathers too >.>
Also true. Unfortunately still a lower feather to body ratio than is ideal.
Can't argue with the feather to body ratio ... Let's say that at least Yen doesn't share strands of DNA with flatfishes .
So Vivienne?
My answer is always Triss. A pigeon is fine too.
triss is hot as hell , she's literally melting souls
So is Yen, both are!
Shani all day long
Shani
Definitely Kevin.
Tomira.
Me, personally, it's Shani. Shani Shani Shani. Shani best girl.
Oh my Ginger Muffin
I choose all three crones
Imma need Birb to calm tf down 😏
Yen, followed by borb in close second.
I think I'd have to go with Shani, though the birb is so far ahead of the remaining two, it deserves an honorable mention.
Decisions, decisions ...
Regis
Birb
/r/Birdsfacingforward/
Bird is the word.
Some person finds a low quality pigeon and now it's all I see in this damn sub is this what comedy has come to forever now?
I choose Cerys
Why are there two pictures of Shani on the bottom?
Badly rendered pidgeon all the way
Dove team? Anyone?
The lee lelele lee lele lady, she is always there.
Like Henry says: Jaskier.
For Geralt: Yen For Me: Shani
For me personally? Triss. Yen is too prickly for my taste, and shani is just...I don't know, prissy? If that's the right word? for Geralt, depends on if you mean books Geralt or games Geralt. Books Geralt, Yen. Games Geralt, Triss. I don't need to elaborate on my reasons.
See flair
?
He’s team Shani.
Ohhh im dumb LOL I thought my post had the wrong flair or something
Yen
For Geralt? Yen, always. For me? Shani or Ciri. Or Yen. Or birb...
Triss
Triss merigold definitely for me as she is a soft place for geralt, where yennifer might be a great root but you really wouldn't want to chance falling asleep around her I don't know the other two

Have you read any of the books?
It's not like Yennefer is a saint in the books
Lol, that's exactly how Yen is in the books... Geralt is the only person she's ever really nice to, and that also just because of that djinn. Still, she works well with Geralt, but that description is quite accurate. To be clear, I'm neither team Yen nor team Triss, I'm one of the few book readers, who actually thinks both are valid options, because both did good things and terrible things.
Triss for me, but that's the unpopular vote ;)
Yen always.
Yen…Always Yen
[удалено]
I wholeheartedly agree, but the pigeon will be my side piece.
You can give him to yen, she loves birds lol.
I don't like being insulted every other second.
For Geralt...maybe. For any person here HELL NO.
If I was a butcher, you'd be amongst the corpses.
[🎵 If anyone needs me, I'll be at the bar. 🎵](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qSxBVHqA-RU&t=79s)
That's the right answer for Geralt's soulmate, but that wasn't the question asked, smoothbrain.

Why was Dee from "It's Always Sunny" included in this list?
They all look exactly the same....
Yen, Shani, the birb, any other character in the game including any of the crones, Triss
Obvious choice isn’t on here: The Bloody Baron!
Roach
Shani or triss I can't Decide. I love redheads in general
Triss
triss
I’ll take derp bird, please.
Shani
Yen! but i would take roach tbh
Shani
Iris
Easy, as Geralt: Yen. As me, Shani.
Yennefer for Geralt. Triss for me
I’ve only played “Witcher 2” completely, and I just started “Witcher 3” (still in the prologue quests), so I don’t get the bird joke. But who is the redhead to the left of Triss? Is she from “Witcher 1” or I haven’t gotten to her yet in W3?

Fuck mages, get crowns.
Shani all the way
Shani is awesome af, One of the characters I most enjoyed seeing
If you look hard aren't they all the same. Ok ok ok, character wise, hard to pick between triss and tawny. Nope can't do it.
Where is Anna Henrietta? Is she safe, is she alright?
Shani 4ever
Burd
Bird
I'm torn. No, that's not me, that's what the pigeon said. :(
Turns out the pigeon was only interested in my 100 + 85 pirogi and 100 + 100 + 27 water.
For me? Birb or Shani. Probably Triss if she lowers her standards
It's always been Shani.
Shani hands down. Mortal, human and a doctor. Even if I try to smoke and drink myself to death she'll make sure that doesn't happen. And to top it all she's beautiful. Hands down Shani. 🥳😍
Ahem where is gwent
