Triss' teenage groupie sounding voice and persona didn't do it for me. That's not waifu material.

Play on Polish VO then :3

Yup. Hopefully they bring back Shani in TW3, I'm still surprised she didn't even have a cameo or at least a proper mention instead of that stupid journal entry that one can easly not see if they have played the game since launch and never read the character profiles anymore int he journal fater reading them already. (I only saw it because I wnated to read the journal entry on the characters introduced in the new content in ch3)

Much better, shame we only meet her on Iorveths side.

An improvement in voice perhaps but not in persona. My true red headed waifu will always be Mitsuru Kirijo of Persona 3.

Triss is practically the only person we can fall back on, despite her opaque motives. Her and Saskia are as close as the series comes to altruism. People get pissed that she took advantage of Geralt's amnesia to seduce him...yeah, if we all had a similar opportunity, how many of us wouldn't be tempted to do the same? Shani was a bit character, there to provide a romantic counterpoint to Triss, who is far more important to the series. What's great about Triss is we still have questions, we still can't be 100% sure about her alleigance and yet she bails Geralt out of trouble time and again.

If we need a bandage we go to Shani. If we need to be teleported out of trouble, help with killing the Kayran, advice on dealing with monarchs, protection for a source like Alvin...we go to Triss.

[KnightofPhoenix]

If we want genuine friendship, help with loved ones even in the most dire of situations and even when our relationship is sour, when we want our lives spared and need some vodka, we go to Letho.

Yea screw both Shani and Triss. And Yennefer for that matter. I want Letho.

KoP wants his man love.

 I admit the prospect of an orgy with Letho, Radovid, Emhyr and Philippa did cross my mind several dozens of times.

It would be a political cluster ****. The good kind.

Triss failed to protect Alvin and she never helped kill the Kayran, that was Sile. I didn't see Triss with me during that fight. Triss was off somewhere else scheaming and betraying Geralt.

[sympathy4sarenreturns]

Triss, Philipa with eyes, Saskia in human form, Ves and Cynthia are sexy as hell. I like Triss a lot, I like her personality and body. My favorite is Saskia...its just kinda....weird . You know, being who she is and all. Philipa is a rotten, nasty person...but strong....and that voice and body!!!

If I had to pick one, ehhhh....its tough between Saskia and Triss. I honestly believe Triss may be Yen...and trying to keep me away from the Hunt.

I admit that a bromance between Geralt and Letho would be quite epic.

Iorveth's repeated verbal assault on Philipa leading her blind out of prison made me laugh out loud. I was a tad disappointed I didn't have a choice to unbind her or not...I knew she would book it out. But elementals are easy.

The stuff Iorveth said was HILARIOUS. Mean, cruel...but funny. And just, too.

[KnightofPhoenix]

I found it funnier he got his ass owned by a blind mage.

You simply don't mess with Philippa. Unless you're Radovid. (or Cynthia..)

Females aside...

How would rate Geralt's path buddies?

Yaehvinn vs Sigfried

- I only ever played neutral and Scoiatel paths in TW1, I really can't stand religious fanatics.
And I realize Sigfried has much more to his character, but I couldn't get past it.
Yaehvinn was more of a fit for me, though Scoiatel in general went too far (killing children in Murky Waters).
In the end, Yaehvinn feels similar to Iorveth.
Siding with Sigfried felt off to me, and Sigfried himself seemed naive and too zealous for my liking.

Roche vs Iorveth

- I did about 10-12 TW2 playthroughs so far- mostly with Roche, but some with Iorveth.
I find Geralt siding with Roche makes much more sense, as Roche helps Geralt out and just feels slightly more balanced than Iorveth (though Roche obviously has issues of his own).

I realize a LOT of it goes down to personal preferences and all the choices are very grey, but would you still prefer factions like that in TW3?

I did the same as you. Scoia'tael on my first run, neutral on the second, but found myself still siding with the Scoia'tael in the bank, simply because it prevents more slaughter of humanoids. I thought the encounter with Yaehvinn in the bank when you try to negotiate is pretty funny as well.
Yaehvinn: *philosophical question, rant rant* 
Geralt: "Yaehvinn...."
Yaehvinn: *continues rant*
LOL, I don't know, I just found the impatience in Geralt's voice amusing. 

To experience all sides in TW1 I should side with the Orderin a third game, but find it hard to justify that choice for Geralt. I suppose it could work when you take the protecting humans from monsters literally and consider every threat to humans as something you need to eliminate. Still doesn't really appeal to me.

Roche vs Iorveth

- I did about 10-12 TW2 playthroughs so far- mostly with Roche, but some with Iorveth.
I find Geralt siding with Roche makes much more sense, as Roche helps Geralt out and just feels slightly more balanced than Iorveth (though Roche obviously has issues of his own).

For a Geralt who cares even a little about Triss and/or is driven to go after Letho directly, going with Iorveth seems to make the most sense, imo. Roche wants to drag Geralt into political business and more or less use him to kill humans, which Geralt supposedly doesn't do. 

I realize a LOT of it goes down to personal preferences and all the choices are very grey, but would you still prefer factions like that in TW3?

It's probably inevitable that you have to form alliances with certain people/factions, even if they're temporary. Getting to Yennefer and/or the Wild Hunt would be very difficult, or even impossible otherwise.


As for the Triss vs. Shani choice: the first time I told Dandelion to take Alvin to Triss without any hesitation. Alvin is clearly a powerful Source and therefore needs guidance from a mage. Shani doesn't know a thing about magic, so she can't give Alvin the help he needs. Her harsh words about Triss being infertile and simply wanting her paws on the boy so that she could have a child for herself turned me off of Shani as well. I thought that reaction was uncalled for, and she was more thinking about herself and Geralt than what was best for Alvin. 
On my second playthrough I did chose Shani and tried her romance, but still it didn't feel completely "right" (I thought Triss' romance felt rather forced as well, so that's probably not entirely Shani's fault). It only increased my respect for Triss, because despite the fact that she was hurt and angry, she did continue to help Geralt with his memory and Salamandra, whereas Shani simply refuses to speak to you at all until you meet again in Old Vizima, where she yells at you some more. 
Ah well, personal preferences I suppose.

[Addai]

The thread has gotten very weird.

I don't think Geralt needs a "waifu." Triss, Dandelion and Zoltan are all his old friends who help him no matter what, when they're not off on their own business (to which they are entitled). Friendship beats waifu or sex appeal any day.
