Certainly had he had his memories he might have acted differently but one can apply that to literally any action he took between the beginning of the first game to about two thirds of the way through the second. As a non-sexual example I suspect he would have reacted differently to Alvin if he could remember Ciri. As I said above by that token no amnesiac could ever have sex and it not be called rape since one could never know if they would have made the same choice with their memories. Triss never actually lied, she told Geralt they were friends and they occasionally had sex, true on both counts. She kept information from him but she also told him she was doing so, even explaining why and, as I noted a couple of comments back, it's not as if she only held back from talking about Yennefer so I accept her explanation (and by implication that of the other Witchers). Not to mention that, as far as she knew, Yennefer was dead. She certainly took advantage of the situation to make a play for his affections which was certainly A Bad Thing but it's not rape, which is why I disagree with the trope. Plus it's worth noting none of us has brought up the gender of either party in our arguments so trope could be said not to apply for that reason; the fact that Triss is a woman and Geralt a man has no bearing on whether it's considered rape or not.
