In the Witcher 3's "Ashen Marriage" quest, set in Novigrad, Geralt assists Triss Merigold and her fiancé, Castello, with wedding preparations. His tasks include monster extermination, 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, evokes a strong emotional reaction, unlike more mundane presents.
However, Dijkstra's revelation of Castello's connection to witch hunters throws a wrench into the proceedings. Castello's involvement stems from blackmail – the hunters threaten to expose his illegitimate daughter.
Geralt has the option of disclosing this information to Triss, either independently or alongside Castello. Regardless, the wedding is called off. Triss either expresses disappointment or gratitude for Castello's honesty, ultimately deeming the marriage premature.
This unexpected turn could have enriched Geralt and Triss's dynamic and further developed supporting characters.
