The developers of The Witcher 3 planned to include Triss's wedding in the game

by Hannah Jan 24,2025

In the Witcher 3's "Ashen Marriage" quest, set in Novigrad, Geralt assists Triss Merigold and her intended, Castello, in their preparations for a hasty wedding. His tasks include ridding the canals of monsters, procuring alcohol, and selecting a wedding gift for Triss. The gift's significance impacts Triss's response; a memory rose, a callback to Witcher 2, elicits a strong emotional reaction, unlike more mundane presents.

However, a plot twist intervenes. Dijkstra reveals Castello's connection to witch hunters, casting doubt on his motives. It transpires that Castello is being coerced; the hunters threaten to expose his illegitimate daughter from a previous marriage.

Geralt has the option of revealing this truth to Triss, either alone or with Castello. 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 could have significantly enriched Geralt and Triss's dynamic, and further developed supporting characters.
