Witcher 3: Triss' Wedding Cut From Game

The Witcher 3's "Ashen Marriage" mission unfolds in Novigrad, centering on Triss Merigold's whirlwind romance with the nobleman, Castello. Geralt, ever the helpful friend, assists with wedding preparations, from ridding the canals of monsters to procuring alcohol and selecting a wedding gift for Triss. The gift choice proves significant, with a memory rose (a callback to The Witcher 2) eliciting a powerful emotional response from Triss, unlike simpler alternatives.

However, Dijkstra's revelation that Castello is secretly connected to witch hunters throws a wrench into the proceedings. This connection stems from blackmail – the hunters threaten to expose Castello's illegitimate daughter from a previous marriage.

Geralt faces the choice of revealing this truth to Triss, either alone or with Castello present. Regardless, the wedding is called off. Triss's reaction varies; disappointment in her fiancé or gratitude for his honesty, but ultimately, she deems the marriage premature.

This unexpected turn adds intriguing layers to Geralt and Triss's dynamic, while simultaneously enriching the narrative of supporting characters.
