Because Triss being captured does play a big part in the plot near the end and it's handled rather poorly and makes no sense. Why not just use Fringilla or Assire, and even if they wanted to have Triss just to show the North they are not playing favorites why kill Assire like she's nothing instead of capturing her an see how her and Triss's story compared,, boast about capturing two sorceress then off them after? It's a mess that to this day still makes no sense.

Triss went from Yen wannabe to damsel in distress to mage leader. CDP what the heck.

Well there's Dandy who is a massive joke who can't sing in the games with the only game him even being sightly good was tw3.

I thought Uma was cute. I just got to Kaer Morhen so I don't know anything about Uma yet. But it makes cute funny noises.

Geralt: "You think universals exist as real and distinct entities, or only as mental constructs?"

Uma: "Umaumaumauma mauma eme eme eme eme."

Geralt: "Mhm. Me too."

Damn you Gwent AI. You never used the 'deploy a decoy card to steal my spy card' trick last play through. I thought that was my thing. Why are you only doing this now?

Well that's a pet peeve of mine that characters just escape whenever they feel like in a lot of fiction these days. Triss was captured more than once though, and that's really where I begin to take issue with it. I don't actually see anything wrong with the damsel trope, is just a trope like any other it can be executed well or not so well. Obviously there is the issue of it being overused historically and that's unfortunate.

Triss fans assemble!
