I'm at the Isle of Mist, but seeing how the world state feels empty and that none of our choices really matter is kind of depressing. Hopefully they considering fixing either with adding new content, patching in characters in some places or both.
Just wanted to say say I feel like many others in this thread.
Damn CDPR, you've made a great game! I would have rated it a solid 10/10 before I finished it today.
The ending really leaves sour taste in my mouth. After the epilogue I was looking forward to finish up all the quests I had in my log, visit all the major characters and see if they have any new lines to say. I wanted to meet up with Triss to finally finish my Nobleman/Soldier Statuette quests and to see Priscilla out of the hospital doing stuff in the tavern. I wanted to visit Vesemir's grave and tie up all the loose ends.
Instead I was completely disappointed by the abrupt ending of a game I had 120 hours invested. After the epilogue I searched every corner of Kaer Morhen for Yen and other witchers but no one was there. The only main characters I managed to find were Keira and Dandelion (even Zoltan was missing). I tried to google their locations but quickly found out that they are all just gone. This made me lose interest to do anything in the game after that point. I didn't even do a single quest afterwards because the whole game world suddenly seemed dead and meaningless.
What happened CDPR? Did you run out of time and had to push the release? Because I honestly can't believe this is the intended end for this epic game. A short cinematic and a slideshow.
If any of the devs reads this: Please, at the very least change the after-epilogue spawning location to Dandelion's tavern and place all the main characters there, celebrating the victory.
I would love to play through the game once more on the highest difficulty if there's ever DLC or expansion released that changes the ending or adds some content with the main characters. But as of now I don't even want to touch the game anymore.

I been banging that drum for a while now! That HAS to be what happened...they delayed it, and delayed...then they HAD to release in a few months. I can't help but think what we got was polished up ... placeholder! Was gonna say something else but decided to be nice for a change

and when you are finished with ALL the witcher contracts and the few, if any, remaining side quests...the world is totally done, nothing left to do except hunt respawning drowners
Im pretty sure it was all indoctination performed on Geralts brain by Wild Hunt Riders - wich may somehow know the Reapers technology. Everything after Geralt sails out to the Isle of Mists is a dream.
Somehow the whole situation reminds me Biowares Mass Effect endings and the whole ME players uprising

I agree, the real motivation to continue playing this game is the role play, without a visceral interaction there isn't real motivation to continue. Other single rpgs only have a great replayable factor because you can role play.I been banging that drum for a while now!

OP's post is exactly why I was against the option of being able to continue the base game after the story had ended.
Agreed, I would have been happy with an option to return to a save maybe back to the point where everyone is on the boat in Skellige. Would have been much better than going back to an empty castle.
For an open world game to end when the main story is finished is just bad and i already said that in this thread before, but in this case maybe its not such a bad idea because they build the game this way. I'm on my second playthrough and i will do every secondary quest and stuff i want to do before finishing the main story even if sometimes it feels wrong because you are always in a hurry to find Ciri, she's in danger, but you are doing some quests and treasure hunting and you completely forgot about her and about your important mission for some time. It's another thread with the title 2 games in 1 and that's exactly how it feels, TW3 is more or less an linear story put in an open world environment, even so TW3 is not a bad game, in fact it's a great one, but ofc we expected a little more, at least to see the choices that we made to be reflected just maybe a little in the world, and i am not talking only about the post-ending stuff, for example after we kill Radovid, on the streets people are saying "long live Radovid", it's a little immersion breaking in my opinion. Of course they will say about the post-ending gameplay that it was not possible because the game have 30+ endings, well in the first place i do not understand why they did so many, i am happy with 3 well made endings but with an post-ending gameplay. Other games did that, they have also choices, ofc not so dam many, but they manage to reflect the player choices in that world and that's the key to make the players happy in my opinion.
Many players are thinking the exact same thing...They can't believe what happened.."So...Thats the end?! Really ?!"
The numbers of "pissed" players are rising every day everywhere...The devs must notice it.
This ruined the game. Thats the point with the most criticism.
So....why no official statement ???
Like: "Thanks for your Feedback, we have noticed that many players are not satisfied with the Game Ending. We aren't happy either and we are working on it. Stay tuned"
Just ignoring it, is no solution and wrong....
Maybe they will notice it, if players are not buying their Games again.....
Like me , i will not buy season pass stuff until the End is fixed ..I dont want more Content of a game i dont want to play again...
And i lost my interest on cyperpunk too, because im worried this will happen again...

Well i always have a Mass effect 3 deja vu, they had the exact same problem with the ending, but they worked on it and expanded it. Let's see how CDPR reacts to it.
I can remember this lonely feeling instantly overcame me right when i finished the game, when i was alone in Kaer Morhen and i knew everyone way gone or somewhere else out of reach, these big walls without anyone there anymore and it kinda rehashed the conversation that Kaer Morhen is dead and will be always a reminder of the dying Witcher caste. It all went down like a movie and it left me with an incredibly empty feeling...

good people or gamers whatever you want to be called good to see so many so meny ides. Keep posting! Thes post are keeping this thread alive
:yes:
:yes:
Honestly, if it was going to be like this, they SHOULD have just returned you to the OPTIONS screen! I really thought one of the big draws to this game was the OPEN WORLD...and I again, naively so, thought that meant after the game had completed you would have an open world, that YOU created by the choices you made during the story, to explore and continue the adventures!
What if you do what I am doing on my second play-through and do every single thing available BEFORE you finish the main story? I expect I will be dumped into an empty castle with NOTHING left to do but hunt drowners in the swamp...joy!

Ditto! But I am beginning to be less and less forgiving of their post end game choices. How far into development did they get before they said, 'wait, there is gonna be like 30+ different end game states...we can't possible do all of them?' To which SOMEONE in the room had to reply, 'ahhh F'it! Well just not give them the option!'
Seems like it would be better for them to do three of the most popular endings and IF you get one of those...good for ya! You get an ending that reflects what you did. If you messed up and get in a hut in the swamp surrounded by foulness, an option for a cross-dimensional doorway could open and sweep Geralt out to the land of the happy endings, player chooses right there which one he/she wants OR stay where Geralt is and roll credits!
Just an idea...and I am not saying its a good one...just a solution.
Do something CDPR, if this is about money,I will gladly pay for a dlc with more quests from the main characters. You guys have made the most epic game characters I have ever seen. It will be work to make all this, but if you make something awesome like you made the entire game, you will charge for it and fans will fight to get in line to pay for the dlcs.
You want more money, we want more of this awesome game! The world feels empty without the main characters. Think big!
Ps: More Triss

I agree.
They always improved their games after release, so there's no reason to think they don't read the forums and won't do anything about the flaws we are talking about.
Honestly, the impression I was left with is that CDPR are more focused on ironing out technical issues with the game...which, in an open world game, will always crop up no matter how many patches you push out...so I think that some of the story/epilogue related aspects raised in this or other threads will take the backseat for some time before they even get considered..
