Alternate Beginings in The Next Witcher Game (Spoiler Alert)
I think that Witcher 3 is a big step in the franchise, but a lot bigger for the next installments. The way I see it is that the three major endings can be suitable for three totally different beginnings.
- The bad ending can be a little bit deceiving. The way I see it is that Geralt would replace the ladies of the wood and become the new master of the woods, after all he was the "Defier", and the scene were monsters were swarming in on the hut it will probably mean that they come to show their loyalty to their new master. This will open a totally different scenario, if there will be any Geralt in the next releases, for the new installment as having the monsters as an ally will be a game changer. Imagine having Berem as your right hand. I think this would be the evil path.
+ The second ending were Ciri becomes an empress, it will be the contrary to the evil path as Geralt will have allies among the politicians, which will grant him great authorities. Since Geralt hates politics, or even prefer hunting monsters over being among politicians, this will be a lesser evil path.
= The third ending were Ciri becomes a witcheress, this will be the ordinary Witcher game, but with Ciri fighting by Geralt's side. This is definitely the neutral ending (The witcher's way)
