i love yennefer, she is such an incredibly interesting character and one of my favorite female characters at the moment but OH MY GOD CDPR Yen is so fucking annoying about Triss Quite Literally taking advantage of Geralt's amnesia - do not tell me Yen didn't get around while she had her amnesia. we know how she is, and then blaming Geralt for being in a relationship under false pretenses... and then it's never fully resolved. she's victim blaming Geralt for something he had no idea about and it's exhausting to deal with that fallout. i really dont like the amnesia plotline as its handled (especially with how dandelion is written- see, yen and ciri) and i desperately wish it was written in a way where it was more... nuanced and not played for laughs??
it's more of a fault of the writing in tw3, which, while amazing, is not perfect. (again, dandelion?? really?? hes so gutted from the books, he just... is so empty compared to the personality in the games. you cant even tell him about the kaer morhen battle, because I KNOW he'd at least help geralt in some way, even if he cant be there physically. i was so sad when i went to go talk to him during the brothers in arms questline and there wasnt even a dialogue... dandelion's writing is for a whole different post.)
anyhow. yen... oh... when i get you cdpr... when i get you... shaking my fist at a cloud. i love yenalt so very much... in my head yennefer and geralt argue about it for months until dandelion (or ciri) (or hell, even regis LMAO) steps in as usual and tells them to talk to each other about it and yen apologizes. in my head.
i understand if this was a character flaw but the way she is written makes it seem like she is... just being "dramatic" and its played semi lightheartedly. i understand a character having flaws and doing things the writers dont agree with but awaaaa rlly?? no resolution?? to this conflict?? at all?? i guess my issue stems with the lack of resolution to her hypocrisy + such, and with their happy ending would it have been so hard for them to even like. bring it up. ah, whatever. im getting worked up over nothing.
