Yep same here, and i think for most of people even ones who don't really care about a post main-story cause they stoped playing the game. But i think that with a well made post main-story "expansion" every one will be happy to be able to continue playing after the main-story with all characters in, with new dialogs,interaction and quests. Not to start the game over and over again.
On my second playthrough, I noticed that the love triangle that CDPR set up quite well ended on a unfinished note, being that they didnt have some sort of scene of the three talking about the subject. And if you did romance both, it ends on a failed threesome joke. Like everyone else I'm really hoping these expansions can really tie the ribbon on Geralt's life.
Ive got my feelings I mean there is literally no news about patch 1.09 and the previous two patches came out quite quick so something big is going down.
something big? or maybe there will be no more patches
Don0t be so pessimistic
I trust @cdprojekt RED.And as allways i'll rewrite this and requote Wticher_Erune.
1) A post main-story content with some dialogs, interactions and a few quests with main characters like: hunt, romance, drinking and talking with them even with a few dialogs, just to have the chance to talk to them. So basicly having them back in locations and mods @Witcher_Erune suggested that you can read in the post above with some interactions.
2) An ending quests that we can activate when we want, this will give us the chance not only to interact with them and do some stuff together but also Will Let us play secondary quests, contracts and exploring the world knowing that we are not alone like a dog, but we have our friends and beloved ones that we can visit when we feel lonely on just want to talk or see to them.
Also this option of the ending quests the we activate only if we want will also give us the chance to create our quests with main characters or using content created by other players. I know many don't like the idea of quests created by the others but IT will still be chance to install them or not, and this could make the game pretty much last for long time ( but this of mods is just a personal opinion).
3) After we activated this quests when we want, it will end the game, give us ending credits and finaly will let us start in a NG+.
There will. Still a lot to fix. Skellige's Most Wanted, the already-confirmed inclusion of new third-act dialogue, and the usual variety of bug fixes. They're probably aiming for one big fix-every-damn-thing-we-can patch, now that the free DLCs are out of the way and they have to get everything nice and neat with the core game for October's expansion, which will inevitably bring its own share of (understandable) issues.
Yep i think the same, it is impossible to have such a huge and awsome game without some bugs and problems, as you said there is still stuf coming out.
Plus i really HOPE we will have a surprise and have the post main-story content we are asking, because like i said in the other post this wont make really happy onyl us, but the entire TW3 comunity.
I mean 6+ millions copies sold in 3-4 months. This is awsome and i think @cdprojekt RED deserve that and even more for the fantastic job they have done. But can you imagine with 6+ millions players how many have same felling and thoughts about the empty post-main story world that we have?
Its been a while since I followed the thread last time. There is still no answer from the devs?
Marcin is back from vacation so maybe we will see a response soon. I hope.
romance dlc discussion. (some spoilers)
So ive played through the witcher 3 about 3 times now and i love this game as much as my first playthrough but thing cd red projekt actually must add for a perfect game and for the sake of ingame romance.
So when you finnish the game with a romance either with Triss or Yen you will only get a video at the end that basically tells you that you live happy with either Triss/Yen and what ever you ending with ciri. But my point is that cd red projekt should add a cabin/house of some kind that lets you see interract with your love which either is Triss or Yen, a house where basically you live and love with Triss or Yen because at the moment it feels so empty, kaer morhen is just straight up emtpy its so depressing for me and alot of others i belive. We cant even interract with either Triss or Yen its so hard because i grew attached to Triss i just cant stop thinking about whenever im in novigrad or nearby. Maybe add a customizable house with a garden that sends to out to find and explore more of the world that later lets you upgrade it to make it better for Geralt and Triss/Yen. I appreciate all the free dlcs from you cd red projekt since this game is probably my favourite game of all time but back to my topic because this is such a huge part of the game. I think almost all grew attached to either Yen or Triss and this is just a few ideas of mine to make and evolve the romance that you build up through the game. If you read cd red projekt i just hope you look through this and think about and maybe make it a dlc because for me and probably alot more thinks thats the romance part of the game was the most important part of it thx.

Sigh...this again? The game was supposed to end right after the epilogue...the only reason they included post game free roaming is because some players demanded it. The reason why this cannot be done in a complete, satisfying way is the same why in Fallout III you can continue while in New Vegas you can not...there are too many variables for the developers to include...it's simply not budget/cost effective. What is everyone expecting? Some kind of version of Skyrim's "Hearthfire" with Yen or Triss? The story is finished, epilogue accounts for future events, not immediate ones.
In half the time it would take them to implement all post epilogue changes, they could fix all game play, balance and performance issues as well as complete some undeveloped story/character arcs(Eredin/Radovid/Djikstra...) and epilogue for other characters.
So people, please, be realistic with your demands...in an ideal world where developers had unlimited time and money to make video games, I'm sure everyone's expectations would be fulfilled, but don't turn this into bigger issue than it is. Epilogue is the only and final end, in this game.

The game was supposed to end after the epilogue, and the only reason it didn't is becuase some player demanded? Oh Well This Game is not all about the main-story, the main-story is just a small part of the entire game. Yes it is somehow a story-driven game not a complete one, this is a huge and immersive open-world game, with a beautiful story but also a lot of side quests that are as awsome as the main, contracts, people to meet, stuff to find and yes a huge world to discover and live.
So NO the game should not end after the epilogue, if devs wanted the game to end after you complete the main-story they should not let you do the last main quests is first you don't complete all secondary quests, contracts and other stuff A THING THAT IS IMPOSSIBLE why? Because the game gave me the choise to do the main-story first to reunite with Yenn/Triss/Ciri then after do the secondary quests, or do all secondary and not do the main. The game give me that chance to Choose WHAT and WHEN to do, so it make no sense to end the game.
Plus all we are asking can be done before the drowings comes out and explain, because like i said in a different post, i was expecting to go and do a contracts with Ciri right after Geralt gave her the sword in the tavern, i wasn't expecting the drowing.
Oh and it is Nice how you and the other 2-3 person who came here to say why this should not be done, all said the same things: In the time it would take to make this they could fix all the bigs in the game, fix gameplay, balance, fix performance, and complete all dialogues and story problems. All of you say the same things.
Complete the the undeveloped character? WOW dn you say we are asking something difficult, to do this they should remake a lot of parts not only in the main-story but in the game. Fix all the bugs, problems of the game? IT Is Impossible for a game this huge with so many things to do to be free of bugs and prolems, for every bug they fix there is another that come out, because this is how it works. ALT I'm not saying bugs should not be fixed, it is just impossible to fix them all, so devs can't spend all theyr time fixing bugs.
NOW TO THE undeveloped story for some characters, IF you just think for a minute all this can be done in a well made post main-story game, thanks to dialogs with other characters that can explain the missing parts to some characters stories. like the ones you nominated.
This can also fix the romance issue that @iloveyoutriss was saying, throu some dialogs with Yenn/Triss after the main.story you could get more deepen their relations.

The drawings are like 6 or 7 months down the line I'm guessing. epilogue states Geralt teaches Ciri everything before setting off on her path, the war, Skellige etc how can that all happen within the space of what... 2 weeks. Post game is like literally right after the ending so everyone should be there and I have hope since we have heard nothing about 1.09 which makes me think big changes are going down.
Let just say i am partly agree with @BoboTheMighty Many issue need to be fix now (espically in Act 3) so i don't think CDPR gonna do a post end state (or if they do it this will be a loooooooooong time from now)
For me all i need is change Geralt's slide to a cutscene. All other choice can remain as it is now, but after all 8 books and 3 games all we get in the end for Geralt is one slide.....It is not enough
Here is @whitefang131 idea, IMO it is really good, may even let people enjoy the "lone wolf ending" :lol:

Want to add my thoughts. Dont intend to post much but I think a small but easy to fix mistake was made.
10 minutes before the ending I was already looking up the date of expansions to keep experience going and getting my wallet out. The endgame world following the happily ever after slideshow left me feeling empty. There is a finality and deadness to the game that quickly leeches in if you spend any time walking around and especially looking for your friends and love interests. I feel I am finished now and cant see myself coming back.
I read the employee posts and understand they considered going all the way in the end game world but of course the task is monumental. It didnt need to be that way though. A simple mid epilogue world state would be fine none of the significant world changing events need to have occurred yet. Yen or Triss in an Inn waiting to head off with Geralt, Ciri with them ready to head off witching or empressing. A few lines of dialogue for each of them is all that is needed.
I feel my game is done, it was a great game but I dont want to rip the bandaid off to play more sidequests in an empty world when the expansions come. A few tweaks like I said would give the impression of continuing Geralts story and make all sides happy.
Also any post ending expansions would be awesome but understandably challenging due to the huge story branches existing by the epilogue. In particular with Yen/Triss being involved. I could imagine playing the second half of the game how hard it is keeping all of Yennefers dialogue believable no matter the relationship choices that were made, it is helpful she is quite a demanding presence no matter her affection for you.

It would be cool to see all of the characters around Novigrad, Velen or Skellige. You can randomly encounter Eskel and Lambert taking on Witcher contracts and you just run into them. As for Ciri, it depends on the ending, if she becomes a Witcher, you will randomly encounter her in different areas. If she becomes Empress, you can visit her in Nilfgaard, and maybe have Yen there as her advisor. As for Triss, she goes to Kovir, so not sure.
All of this probably won't happen, but would be cool.
