Creating a post-war atmosphere will be better for the game

So, as geralt could be able to continue his adventure after finished the Wild hunt.
At least should CDPR let us to feel the post-war atmosphere such as talk to people of inhabit in Velen or Skellige to look at how they think of the Niffgaardian have triumphed the war. If will better much better for improveing the game to be more immersive.
[h=3][/h]Or at least add those into the upcoming expansion. Thanks!

This would take a huge amount of effort. They would have to rescript nearly every NPC conversation in the game to reflect who won the war. And there is a chance most people won't continue playing after finishing the story. Even so, there are some things that change depending on the story's outcome, like Redanian soldeirs in Novigrad and Radovid's flagship in the bay.

I just rationalize it by saying not everything in the epilogue has happened yet when I finish the game.

Yes i know that is nearly impossible to see this happen in the current stage especially W3 has already been a great game of me.
But i just feel a bit hollow about the the world after the story when i can't experience my own decision.
Anyway, still a great game though, just suggesting

I'm contemplating a mod: a shard of the Lodge of Sorceresses organizing

to raises Radovid from the dead (or make him undead, depending on path) -- using him as a pawn to ply power from several kingdoms, and reconcile differences with other magi. Why else was Philippa so intent to find Radovid? Her ulterior motives are always far-reaching.. And did Sile really go the way we think? or... /rubs magic-hands together

edit, forgot to add a likelihood of: "Happy Love Triangulation" mod.

CDPR managed to create TW3 from scratch. Most of the assets are already there. Also they managed to make changes on graphical aspect of the game, some story changes too ( Dijkstra and Griffin contract and the info from Johnny the godling, I believe there were more, judging from the leaked content pre production of the game). It's a huge effort of course and should be an expansion instead of a free DLC.

The 2nd expansion will be released Q1 next year, there'll still be 9 months before TW3's lifespan is over until moving on to Cyberpunk 2077. I hope this along with post ending content will be considered before that. We already have 2 big expansions on the way which will take place pre epilogue. The 3rd expansion post ending will complete the game and everyone is happy ;D

The voice recording is not already there. Which is why I said they would have to rescript the game. Everywhere an NPC makes a reference to the war between Redania and Nilfguaard they would have to remove that dialogue and replace it with another. Do you know how much money it would cost to rewrite and rerecord hundreds of hours of voice work?

And that's all for content that many, many people will never get to see. There is no gurantee the majority of people will continue playing after finishing the game. There is also zero gurantee they will beat the game twice to see how dialogue changes based on whether Nilfguarrd or Redania wins the war. Rewriting all the dialogue is an exremely expensive project to create content which the majority of people will never witness. It's a waste of time and money. They could spend that money making another expansion instead and charging for it.

We don't yet know whether the expansions take place pre-epilogue or post-epilogue. They haven't said anything about it.

They haven't yet said anything about a third expansion.

I'm aware of all that, that's why I said it as expansion, expansion is NOT FREE, unlike DLC. That's how CDPR differentiates it.

They already did, below is the source I read it from.

Spoiler: Interview

"As for the add-ons and expansions coming to The Witcher 3 following its release, Szamałek explained that "they’re within the story of the Witcher: Wild Hunt," running within the time frame, rather than after the ending"

They haven't yet said anything about a third expansion.

That's my idea, just like any suggestion thread/post. I thought I already made that clear.
