TEAM YEN FOR LIFE

TRISS IS COOL AND ALL BUT YEN. YEN.

Blood and Wine I'm working on now. Hearts of Stone was great. You have the option to (frank) another chick in HoS. I couldn't bring myself to do it. Yen is a temple.

I have so many words I cannot express. I played 2 and 3 and read up on the lore for hours before playing. Triss is like the girl next door character. She’s cool but our relationship was also based on LIES. In the books she put a luv spell on Geralt to trick him. Yen didn’t like that. And in the games she doesn’t tell him about Yen when he’s suffering amnesia after escaping the Hunt. Yen didn’t like that. She’s kind of a selfish female dog tbh. Yen is more mature, sophisticated, and undoubtedly Geralt’s tru luv. How anyone can choose Triss is mind boggling, even if they portray her character well in 3. Gotta throw a shoutout to Keira Metz too. God the characters and stories and quests are so detailed and unique and multifaceted in that game. Holy (frank).

I wish you had Xbox then we could just drool over Yen and the Witcher. I know you’d join my party unlike that haughty Mordecai. #thatguy

I wish I had xbox too.

Maybe a few more pharmacist paychecks will do the trick.

Game is legendary. Yen is legendary. I am not a Triss fan mainly because she took advantage of Geralt's amnesia like you said. That poop is not cool man

In TW3 before the final ice battle on the lake with the Wild Hunt Yen says "and Witcher....don't get killed" I was (frank)in shook dawg. SHOOK

Will you hold me

I mean like PlayStation is infinitely better, so I wish I just played that instead but all my friends and gaming communities are on Xbox, so I’m (frank)ed that way.

Yen is amazing — I mean every character in the game is (let’s give our boi Dandelion a shout-out among others) — because she’s not a stereotype. It’s not just about her obviously perfect magic looks (though good lord she’s a goddess incarnated in pixels), but her voice actress and her personality and her independent streak. She wears the pants, not Geralt, unlike with Triss. People who haven’t played the Witcher don’t understand how in depth and personal these characters and their relationships are. It’s the finest character work in gaming.

Good thing no one is here on weekend nights and it’s just us bois’s. People — I use that term loosely — might lose what little respect they had for us. And I say those people don’t deserve our respect! Let alone Yen’s!

When you start feeling invested in side quests you know you're playing a banger of a game.

My boys Zoltan and Vesemir holding it down. I felt real sorrow for the Baron. I went back and forth about 4 times with Dijkstra.

I never waivered when it came to Yen. She is perfect, from her accent to her cunning ways and badass magic to being the relationship she (independently, but also with Geralt as a pair) has with Ciri. She is the poop on so many levels.

Well, a bunch of middle age dudes on this site are meeting in person at an abandoned Toys ‘R Us parking lot at 1am in March. Or something. I think that’s way less normal than fawning over Yennefer of Vengerberg.

The Baron quest line is probably one of the best in gaming from a morally complex standpoint. The entire Velen main chain with the Baron and Ladies of the Wood. It’s not even gaming. It’s fine literature in gaming form. I could go on and on about quests small and large, dramatic or funny. I never felt like I was grinding quests. Each one was unique or had an interesting bent, no matter the size or length. And often they’d lead you down quest chains unsuspecting.

Omg the Crones dude they were so beautifully done. Johnny is the man.

DLCs are the same way. Never for one second do you feel like you're grinding

Remember when Priscilla got attacked suddenly after you fixed up Dandy’s tavern? Right after the hilarious Crimson Avenger quest (gotta mention the play one too)? And it led you down the whole serial killer quest? That was incredible and a tonally shifting gut punch. I wish they actually tied it up better with Priscilla.

Agreed she just kind of floated away as a character. The play quest was hilarious. I (frank)ed it up and Priscilla wasn't happy

Honestly I thought HoS had a better main quest than the main game in a vacuum. I loved O'Dimm's character. You'll have a ton of fun. It's just Geralt though, no Yen or Ciri or anyone else at all, so of course I'd rather play the main game when it comes down to it. More immersive.

I ‘member. I ‘member a lot of touching moments.

*weeps*

Do you remember the quest right before where Geralt, Lambert, and Eskel get drunk off their asses?

*weeps in a different way*

I would actually go back and re-watch a lot of the cinematics or replay parts after I played the quests. It was so good I wanted to experience it again. I’m weird like that.

Could’ve been worse. Could’ve grinded Warhammer. Also, you’re dead and really high inside, so you’ll be okay.
