Nah...i don't think so.
In fact i think that a few (minor) changes, which are also easy to realize, could do the trick and satisfy the majority.
Nilfgard:
Radovid lives: Change nothing!
Radovid dies: Remove pyres and witchhunters / add nilfgaardian soldiers
Dijkstra rules: Remove pyres and witchhunters
Geralt Romance:
Triss (Radovid lives): At Kaer Morhen preparing to move to Kovir
Triss (Radovid dies/Dijkstra rules): At her old shop (preparing to move to Kovir)
Yennefer: At Kaer Morhen doing magic stuff (playing around with megascope etc.) or in a small house outside of Novigrad/Kaer Morhen
(If not romanced they are at the same locations, just without the romance option and/or different dialogues.)
Ciri:
Ciri empress: In Vizima castle preparing to be crowned
Ciri witcher: Training at Kaer Morhen or playing Gwent in an inn (option to do contracts with her)
Ciri never returns: Change nothing!
Roche/Ves:
At their hideout preparing to leave it with different dialogues depending on the wars outcome.
Dandelion/Priscilla/Zoltan:
At the Chameleon.
Avallach:
Change nothing! or at his hideout
Everybody with a litte knowledge of game editors, knows, that most of this changes should be realised with simple "drags%drops".
Hi, first sorry for my english, i'm french.
I finish the main quest yesterday and i'm really "glad" to see that a lot of people were stunned, like me, by this post end game loneliness and despair. I didnt read all of the 130 pages but i've read quite a few of them. And like a lot of people, after the ending (i got Ciri empress), i was hoping to find Yen waiting for me. Expecially after she says, after the plot with the wild hunt, she wanted us to go live alone in a peacefull place and after seeing her at the inn before Ciri give back her sword and goes to the emperor guards.
And like MrPanda92 says, i was in kaer morhen alone, with the sound of the wind and the hard feelings of emptiness and loneliness. So i start to search for Yen... Nothing... i went to nilfgaard to see Ciri... Nothing... I went to Novigrad... And nothing changes... I went to Cerys, she didnt talk about Crach death...
I've played TW2 and got all endings and i've been quite depress but i knowed that i'll be a sequel so i was relieved. But here, i couldnt agree more that there is a big mistake from the devs to let us in this post ending world empty... I cant think that CDPR mess this up like that.. they have done a perfect work since then.. I hope there will be DLC to learn more about all my questions.. i remember "latios507 (page 102)" post who better explained it that at the end we have so much more questions that at the beginning ! I still dont know how Ciri clearly win against the white frost ? how the lodge is doing after the last fight? Did they survive ? Philippa is at Emyr and Ciri side ? Is Eskel ok ? Keira and Lambert where are they ? Knowing Ciri she had to escape some time to see Geralt and Yen !! I have many more questions !! I think after the battle of kaer mohren, the events was rushed... i didnt see the end coming...
I try to finish the remaining quest i had left but frankly the motivation was gone, like every choices i've maid was for nothing...or why woul i built this new sword ? there is no fight left...
CDPR really make great characters that we have linked with. Just look at Yen, 2 games talking about her and when we finally meet her.. Wow !! i totally understand Geralt feeling about her now !! I feel like i was stabbed in my back with this depressive post ending wide empty world. I think i'll not play again... despite i want to see Ciri Witcheress ending... and one of the argument of witcher's game is its replayability... like i said i played TW2 many times to get all endings.. but i think i'm done here because like all of the players in these 132 pages, i know that at the ends it's just loneliness and emptiness. Geralt deserve better ends ! it's like you're separated from your family and love's one ina blink of an eye... heartbreaking !
I, We believe in CDPR to ear our request and make this game a real master piece that even other generation will talk about ! I can pay for that for sure ! I sign all the petition and i hope they will do something ! i'm totally agree with all the proposition of Witcher Erune !! i hope CDPR read this thread carrefully !
Even make a kickstarter to make it happen ?! (look at shenmue 3, 14 years later. I hope we'll not wait this long)
To be clear i really really really love TW, TW2 and TW3 but for now i hope the god of rpg's will ear our noble request and make our dreams come true (but for now i'm up to run a few miles to try to cut out this sad feelingS) !!
