Toss a coin to your Witcher…because he keeps getting the cold shoulder. Thanks in part to the success of smash-hit Netflix series of the same name, Geralt and Yennefer’s lustful relationship has been thrust into the limelight.

A long-term favourite of fantasy readers, the books also left little to the imagination when it came to the more intimate details of the pairs relatinship. And with the release of the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the gaming community was introduced to Yennefer for the first time.

The raven-haired mistress lies naked on a sofa at the very beginning of the game, as Geralt takes a bath, in a moment that was redone to great effect in the TV series. It also informs the audience of the wildly sensual nature of their relationship. At least, when they're getting along.

The catalyst for The Witcher 3's adventure actually sees the white wolf set out to track down his enigmatic lover, with the player then feeling personally invested in their passionate affair.

This playful chase embodies the intriguing nature of the pair’s relationship, and shows us what happens when powerful characters, with even stronger personalities, fatefully collide.
