Yeah it must've been a pretty late change, I can't find a single piece of official art with her new look. Also the pre-rendered intro is with the old one.
Triss was hiding stuff from / lying to Geralt for two games. Yen didn't bother to contact Geralt until she had a need of him. And generally, I'm not particularly fond of how she came off in the game so far. Well until now lol,
her acknowledgement of feelings for Geralt surprised me
and I'm having a hard time breaking up the book canon pairing.
On the other hand, Geralt was sort of busy ploughing half of the Continent before hooking up with Triss (Yenn's best friend). Yen had some sort of reason to not contact him until the need was dire.
When you think about it, Triss sort of took massive advantage of Geralt. She knew him and Yen were a thing and instead of really trying to unite them, she gladly jumped his bones when he had amnesia and didn't know better.
I just tested it, anything that used X/Y (or suqare/triangle) outside of combat will do the melee move and just switch to the correct sign. In combat is uses it instantly, so it's not an issue.
I want to replay Witcher 1 & 2 now, but the memory of the damn Witcher 1 swamp level is keeping me from doing it. ...I may just be having Witcher withdraws.

Her deciding not to contact Geralt could have been because she thought he was happily in love with Triss and she may not have known about the memory loss. Triss meanwhile intentionally tricked Geralt into loving her and stole him from her best friend.

The signs work the same inside or outside combat if you set them exactly like I have in that thread. Make sure you are unbinding R2 and the face buttons.

He had amnesia ! And needed to build up his Gwent deck ! I can't recall if Yen lost her memories too but if she did she should be more understanding of Geralt's behaviour.
It's rather funny but I don't remember for example Dandelion (other characters too) uttering a word about Ciri or Yen either.

Yeah, the more you think about it, the worse Triss seems. I mean, it ends up adorable and since Geralt can choose based on his fully-recovered memory it clearly doesn't bother him, but you know the neighbors will talk.
I still went with Triss though, because like Geralt, I didn't know Yen until this game.

What did Triss conceal in the second game? Dandelion's narration in Witcher 2 states that between the Prologue and Flotsam, Triss spent the boatride regaling Geralt with tales of his past life, including his relationship with Yen. It did describe it as 'toxic,' though, I think.

Well, the person that told me about this setup worked out the macros in Inputmapper, and so I just copied them. They probably would be copyable in DS4Windows, but I didn't look into it. Both software work pretty much the same anyway. Just that DS4Windows plays a little nicer with the touchpad.

Well, we know now that Yen wasn't hiding or anything. Considering the sorceresses know each others whereabouts, especially if they're using strong magics (something we know Yen was doing) Triss could have at any time just portaled the two together and been like "Hey, sis, he has amnesia."
But nah. She saw her chance, put on her best low cut tunic, let down her hair and went witchering.

Mine is exactly, key for key, like your set up. Maybe I wasn't pressing them simultaneously unarmed in the villages, but in combat is worked as desired so I didn't go back into a village and test it again.

Anyone else find the green part of the skills tree unappealing? It seems like you have to put a lot of points in to get anything genuinely useful. I'm much more inclined to upgrade my signs or combat skills.
I use oils and grenades and when I'm up against a difficult opponent I will take the time to equip decoctions so it's not like alchemy is something I ignore but I just don't use them enough to worry at all about my toxicity.

Well, the potions one is super useful. Alcoholest may be the most valuable substance in the Witcher universe, but on hard, it's not infinite. So, taking some levels in that to maximize healing is sort of a huge benefit.
Hold up, I just read a loading screen tip that if you destroy an item you recover any runes from it.
Is this true? What is "destroy", dismantle? Holy shit have I been wasting runes for no reason? Anyone that can confirm? (lol I just care about the runes/colours that are engraved on a sword for example when you fill it all than the rune stats)

I thought Letho said that initially Yen didn't have her memory back and it something that she regained later.
The sorceresses seem to know each other's wherebouts when Witcher 3 starts but during the Rose of Remembrance scene in W2 Triss was emphatic about helping Geralt reunite with Yen if that was his desire. I see no reason to assume that she was lying then so I assume that some of this stuff happened in the six month gap between W2 and W3 when Geralt and Triss had some sort of falling out.

Time of Contempt and Baptism of Fire also have official english translations. The last two books in the initial set are coming in 2016 and 2017. Supposedly the fan translations for those two books are quite good as well.

Still only level 7, just got the altnerate quen health regen, is that worth it? Seems like it would be some nice quick healing against weaker mobs. Since I can't regen with meditate, seems like this should fill in nicely. Not sure how it would perform at higher levels though.

We saw both of those not being the case. Yen didn't have her memory for a very, very brief period (according to her in Witcher 3). She made it seem like minutes or days. Also, Letho is not the most trustworthy guy around.
And yeah, Triss was totally fibbing there. She clearly could have taken Geralt to her at any time (again, according to what we know in the third game). But she didn't. Yeah, they were all sort of busy, but considering she can just teleport them around, it wouldn't have taken long.
Or, she could have at least let Yen know what was going on, that Geralt had lost his memory and that she needed to come collect her dude before he caught magical syphillis from some strumpet.

To be honest, I found the alternate mode on quen to be complete garbage. Dodging was just as effective at letting the potions catch up and that doesn't cost any upgrade points. I'd skip it. I tried it out and never used it again. I used regular quen through the whole game though.
