Never much cared for Yennefer, even in the books. Always found Triss more interesting, and in the canon of the games she is the central love interest, so that black haired harpy can go take a walk through a magical portal to Fuckoffistan as far as I'm concerned. I'm just hoping the game will let me drop her bitchy arse at some point...

It isn't issue of Witcher3 though
In Skyrim I made an effort to participate in important dialogues while standing on something.
There is nothing more heroic than accepting reward from Jarl while standing on table he is currently dining on.

Or was the joke that player can ditch Yennefer?

Unlike the previous games, the third entry gives you sufficient freedom of movement to do things like jump off balconies. (And then die because the fall damage is absurdly punishing.)

Except Triss's voice sounds like it just staggered drunkenly out of a college dorm.

I keep waiting for her to say, "Like, omigawd, totally not cool!"

Well, the only reason Geralt was with Yennefer was because of a genie if I remember right.

Triss, at least, that relationship grew organically.... Mostly by taking advantage of Geralt's amnesia to move in.

Yeah, joke gets lost on me because I can't really figure out what's on the last panel.

To be fair, Triss was moving in long before that. She had an affair with Geralt during one of his fights with Yennefer and has had a crush on him for a long time. Also, amnesia or no amnesia, Geralt generally didn't seem to mind having this hot redhead orbiting around him. By the time Witcher 2 rolled around, he was pretty much up to speed and happily "dating" Triss. Granted, it was because he thought Yen was dead, but the point is that Triss isn't taking advantage of Geralt. And yes, their relationship did grow more organically. And overall, I just found Triss to be a more relatable and likeable character in general, so I'd rather ship Geralt with her.

But...but...but...unicorn sex!

That said, I am much more partial to redheads, myself. :3

The Joke is that the search for Yennefer is the big narrative drive but players are more excited because they can finally jump over fences!

You missed the 4th part where that small drop kills Geralt due to the insane fall damage.

And I like Yennefer. I can understand why many people like Triss more but I don't.

That last panel's a bit dark, but I think I got the gist of it. Hopefully. If I didn't then aaah fuggit, I'll just appreciate the art.

Drinking after the breakup alone worth it, although I guess you can go all in even if you didn't do it, with just a few lines changed.

Drunktard quests got better and better in each game, that's no small feat after sailing to paradise in TW2.

It's how the controls are wonky I think. On the PS4 and Xbone, the controls for interaction are bound to the same one for sprinting and jumping, so when the game would prompt Geralt to kiss, he'd instead extinguish a candle or jump off a cliff.

Or Roach will appear and fuck things up.

So I thought that was the joke, like Gerald is supposed to be interested in Yennifer, but why the hell would the players be interested. That line about waiting 2 games is why I think that.

Okay, well that explains things. Still have The Witcher games on a wishlist so this went over my head.

Honestly, I do not think we are supposed to like Yennefer. In the books when character's are trying to remember her name they often say Guinevere. (Please don't tell me I need to explain this allusion). The whole series is incredibly cynical and likes to subvert classic tropes in many places. Geralt as knight in shining armor and Yen as his maiden is one of them. Their relationship is incredibly abusive and manipulative on Yen's part and Geralt comes across as a whipped puppy. Again, I think this is a deliberate subversion.

I read something about absurd fall damage. Is it a suicide attempt?
Not funny if someone has to explain it, that's a comedy law you violated here :p

Waiting for this to have a few weeks of bugfixing under it's belt!

*laughs harder* I guess the joke had so many fences to jump over before it could makes any sense, then...
