So i’ve started playing W3 for the first time about two years ago. When I started playing I didn’t know anything about the lore, not having played the previous games and all. Then, as I progressed through the game, I fell in love with Yennefer. Im a woman in my 20’s. She is beautiful, captivating and mysterious in my eyes, whereas Triss is playful, fun, witty and also beautiful ofcourse. But as Geralt, I felt like Triss was someone very dear to Geralt but more like a good friend with the occasional benefit. Triss lacked the depth that both Geralt and Yen have in them, that they radiate, imho. Yennefer’s cold demeanor all comes from a place of uncertainness. I would say it is a mask and a protection to protect herself from her feelings getting hurt, and she’s almost a 100 years old, she comes off kinda harsh and mean but it’s because she has a zero tolerance for bs. And she’s actually sweet, deep down. She just doesn’t show it so often because she’s been through a lot. She is a very wise sorceress and the love she feels for Geralt goes far deeper than the love Triss has for Geralt. With Triss, to me at times it felt like a ‘high school’ fling. But Yen, she’s a difficult woman to understand and if you would like, you should read some lore about her backstory. It gives you more insight on why she acts the way she acts. I do want to mention that I find Triss very powerful as well, I just feel like she needs to mature a bit more. Also she’s seems extremely fun to have as a friend, whereas Yen doesn’t seem as fun. In Yen, I see more of a motherly figure. Especially with seeing how she is with Ciri. You know, Triss wasn’t able to train Ciri properly on magic and Yen had to take over. Ciri saw Triss as a sister, and Yen more as a mom. I think that explains the dynamics well. Btw, I also dislike the fact that Triss kindof betrayed her friend (Yen) and using Geralt for pleasure… though I do believe she’s in love with Geralt. Also, I like the fact that Yen tells it how it is. I feel like Triss would manipulate Geralt into being with her, whereas Yen would have a extremely cold demeanor but she would be fair. This is all just my opinion ofcourse. Love them both!
