I will try to be precise in the next few phrases.

I chose Yenn in W3 and after 160 hours I'm ready to start NG +. I would like her not to be pissed at me because of Triss so :

Is there a way not to romance Triss in W1 and W2?

What's the state of your relationship with Triss if you simulate a save?

Does the rose of remembrance / having sex with Triss in the bath house impact W3?


All in all, I would like to play a NG+ of W3 where Geralt was as faithfull as possible to Yenn. I would prefer not having to replay W2 to do so.

Thank you all for reading and/or answering.

You're romance choices don't have any impact through imported saves except in your own headcanon. (the witcher-wiki gives you a relative precise overview on what impact your imported saves can do: http://witcher.wikia.com/wiki/Saved_game_import )

Though in regards to your faithful playthrough: You can refuse any sexual dalliances i witcher 1. But Geralts romance with Triss in witcher 2 is set in stone...or Data...XD No matter what your choices were in witcher 1, you will always start witcher 2 in bed with Triss.

You choices in W1 and W2 have absolutely no impact on the W3 storyline, romances and all. Go ahead and play the game how you want to. You can even flirt/romance both girls up to a certain cut-off point:

You can even kiss Triss at the ball, but *don't* tell her to "Stay here" when she's about to board the boat to Kovir with the other mages after her personal quest. Say your goodbyes there and then -- if you've flirted/led her on she will be gutted, but she will go and Yen's romance will proceed *providing* you complete 'The Last Wish' and flirt/sleep with Yen at every opportunity.

Thank you both for replying.

It's simply that when you first meet Triss, she still has the Rose and after reading on the lore I really prefer Yenn. So I was like shiieeet I've done goof and fucked Yenn best friend.

If you both tell me romance from W1 and W2 have no impact I'll stop worrying about it and change my «head canon» as elvenpast said haha.

But then, ss there any point in importing a save? I read on a thread that there was small differences except those 5-6 major that everyone knows about. (See file attached).

Thanks again!

For two reasons, yes:
1. It saves you having to be 'grilled' by the Nilfgaardian dude about your past in the prologue -- it's annoying.
2. Cosmetic reasons. If you have followed the games from the beginning, why not get those extra few occasions to bring back a little nostalgia (or whatever)?

In W1 you have to chose between Shani and Triss, so yes, you totally can.
W2 doesn't exactly have "romancing" Triss. And, SPOILER, she's absent for the 80% of the game anyway.

Don't worry, NG+-choice comes only up AFTER you choose your safegameimport, interview whateever and the difficutly. Thus you can change you W2 -backstory

Cool. I was afraid I had to play twice with the same backstory due to my imported save.
(OK, I'm not there yet. PRobably have 100+ hours left in my first playthrough ^^)

Thanks for the answer
