See I know Triss lied but she spends most of 3 regretting that lie and trying to make it up to Geralt. I felt at least....

i fully admit i’m biased. when i feel that a game is clearly showing me “the right path” i tend to go the other way because i deeply resent when games do that - see: the whole Theirin/Mac Tir debacle - so i might be a little harder on Triss because of that but... it’s true she tries to atone. she helps Geralt find Ciri, she organizes the mages escape from Novigrad... 

but i do think an honest conversation between her and Geralt was necessary, because as things stand, i have to listen to every single NPCs railing about how horrible Yen is but how perfect of a gf Triss is and i just. i hate it. and while she never outright asks Geralt to stay, the fact that she constantly throws herself at him is really awkward/grating. and i don’t think it’s ever acknowledged that what she did to Geralt was fucked up and wrong. 

In my (admittedly unfinished) Triss playthrough I got the impression that Triss was afraid to ask Geralt for anything. She tries to stay away even when Geralt begs her to stay and says he loves her still. Her face during these scenes is painful, she has this selfloathing written across her face like "you THINK you do" and "I don't deserve that" that gets me everytime.

and i’m not surprised she thinks that given that their romantic entanglement is based on her lying by omission and him thinking she’s the sorceress he has vague memory of... idk i find it hard to sympathize with her because it’s just... so messed up. but tbf it’s mostly CDPR’s fault. how does no one ever mention Yennefer to Geralt when he’s in Kaer Morhen? Lambert? Eskel? Vesemir? They all know he doesn’t remember her and no one says anything. 

Also 'herth' here, maybe its a Nova Scotian thing?

Also HERTH here. It's not a HEART dammit. It's where fire goes. Heart burn is bad, mmkay?

I 100% say "herth," so you're not alone.

((ugh stupid tumblr jumped my reply to the wrong post. sorry!((

Because it’s an actual play of people playing D&D.

We all need Nicole Beharie in our lives daily.

the thing with chloe's indian heritage is that it didn't exist until lost legacy lmao. her original character concept from one of the artbooks was just "dark and exotic" to contrast elena's girl-next-door vibe. i don't think she was ever meant to be assumed white but the indian heritage thing is technically a retcon? to set up the backstory for lost legacy.

the 2 and Trilogy art books said she was mixed race but didn't specify

*coughs* Nate's journal in Uncharted 2 alludes to the fact she is part Native American (and from Oklahoma!) Maybe I recognized the reference cuz I am from there? Or maybe my brain just made that connection. There was something there though because I remember thinking that was cool way back when.
