We are still waitingPlease CDPR !!
you can wait forever, there won't be any new content for tw3
I'm crying all day. I hope cyberpunk will be better!
I am not sure if anyone else has suggested this, but I think the problem would be partly resolved if after the end of the MQ Geralt would end up not in the Witcher castle - with no-one else present - but in Novigrad harbour. The political and military situation would not likely have changed substantially so quickly after the end of the MQ, so in terms of continuity this ought not to be too much of a problem. Geralt would simply have returned from Skellige, Ciri assumedly still recuperating with Ermion/Triss/Yennefer (if she survived, that is).

And here I thought I was alone in the empty castle because I romanced both Triss and Yen!
Did you guys choose one of them?'
This is hilarious, looks like my choice is the most immersive choice after all, very fitting life of a lonely Geralt!
Just save before the end of the game when everyone is around and/or on the boat. Do Hearts of Stone before you finish the last quest of the main story, then finish the main game. Then do B&W as it takes place (apparently) 3 years after the end of the main game. Then go ahead and settle down with Yen or Ciri or whoever you have and there, atleast you got the woman in Geralts life lol... or the daughter (Tho I believe Ciri said she would leave after a while, tho she won't leave in game just in the lore.)
What is suggested in this thread would have been nice. The world does indeed feel pretty empty after the main quest ends, without the main characters to talk to and without the world really being at all responsive to what ending you got.
But I get it. You only have so much time and resources to use in creating the game. Realistically, in order to add any endgame content, they'd have to have shifted resources away from something else. Yes, some people may have preferred losing some other content in order to get a more satisfying endgame state. But it does seem a bit counterintuitive to spend lots of time on content that, by definition, comes after the player has finished the game, not least of which because the vast majority of players would not bother experiencing it.
If I had to guess, I'd say that CDPR probably didn't consider a detailed endgame state worth the resources it would require. In that case, there would be two options: (1) have no endgame state at all and simply have the game go straight to the main menu after the credits, or (2) do something like what they actually did.
Realistically, option (2) is probably preferable. It's an open-world game and players may well have not finished certain quests before finishing the main quest. So you don't want to lock them out of experiencing that content simply because they chose to do the main story first. What CDPR did was basically allow people to finish off things they hadn't yet done, while not shifting tons of resources onto creating a detailed endgame state. It might not be a decision one agrees with, but I think it's defensible.
In any event, in my mind, I think of the endgame as actually happening prior to the end of the main quest. In other words, I like to think of it as a "Oh yeah, and Geralt did these other things before defeating the Wild Hunt as well."

Its so you can buy alchemy ingredients to finish potions etc you havent complete. Plus I was happy to see her at least with everyone else gone. It did feel lonely.
