It's kinda pointless, if we agree to talk about the whole game and still put spoiler tags on some things.
Anyway, i don't just want to list the things, which gave me feels or chills, but also things, which didn't give me ones, although i thought they would + a little explanation.
In no particular order, but i will marked my top3.
Killing someone indirectly with a really minor side quest.
I probably forget some moments, that can happen after 80 hrs, but all in all i would say that the characters had the biggest influence on me, especially Ciri and Yennefer. Knowing the books and finally seeing them is probably the biggest factor here
So i can only recommend everybody to read the books, the games will have so much more to offer then.
Edit:
When i finished the game and was placed in an empty Kaer Morhen

Killing someone indirectly with a really minor side quest.
That was nothing new, but still a weird feeling, especially since i could have saved him easily.
First time playing Ciri.
I had literally goosebumps the first time, but only the first time.
Finding the first location by accident, where i played Ciri the first time.
That was the only time i had the feeling to be after her, most of the time i was just running after a ghost without seeing any results.
The second meeting with Yennefer.
Interesting enough it was much more pleasant than the first meeting, i reacted rather neutral to the first one. Maybe too many people were looking at us
Encountering Triss
It was strange, the whole time i had the feeling to hurt her just by being present. Anybody else noticed that she wears her earrings, if you give her the lost second one? Nice touch.
Baron Quest didn't.
Maybe i heard/read too much of it in beforehand, so it didn't have the same impact on me anymore as i was already expecting the worst. Maybe George RR Martin trained me too well for that.
Priscilla's song
Easily top3. I didn't expect that in any case and hit me like a truck.
Dudu morphing in Ciri
I thought it would be nice to see her in real person, but it felt so wrong afterwards.
Burning pyres
Maybe the presentation didn't get me, but i was rather unimpressed by it and i really like the society of the sorcerers, hmm.
The general situation of the sorcerers
I really like them, but there was so few content about them and so few options to change anything that i couldn't get into it.
The Lodge
Seeing the members of the Lodge was pleasant though, especially Philippa and Fringilla, even though i hoped to talk with them more.
The War
Well, there was none, so i can't get feels by something that wasn't going on anymore.
Radovid
Too bad he was shown as an insane maniac, but i kinda felt good, when Philippa got her revenge and for any sorcerer out there.
The Last Wish
While its right to exist is disputable, i still loved the conclusion with the right answer, also top3.
Vesemir
When he died, i instantly searched the web, whether i made something wrong, just to realize that it is inevitable, that hurt like shit.
Sheala/Shile De Tancarville
After saving her life in TW2, it almost felt wrong to kill her, but leaving her to die would have been worse.
Finally finding Ciri in the hut
I already heard that Ciri can die, but not how and when, so when the dwarves told me that she is ice cold, ugh...
Bringin Ciri back home
fuzzy warm feeling
Doing shit with Ciri and/or Yennefer together
more fuzzy warm feelings
Yennefer asking me to put everything behind
I already hoped that there can be a happy end for them, but it was still really nice to see that both will turn their back on all the shit they had to live through, leaving everything behind and letting Ciri go her own way. Ciri can visit them any time anyway, probably it would be best to knock than crashing the house
The ending and Ciri's sacrifice
I wasn't sure what ending i will get, as i avoided anything related to the endings like the plague on the web, but when i told her "to not do this to me" and she goes anyway through the portal, because she has to....almost realizing instantly after the flashbacks that she is gone for good, i was quite devastated. Then the long ride, the talk with Emhyr, telling him that his daughter is dead, sooo damn long and all the sad feelings turned upside-down, when i saw the new silversword. Also top3
I probably forget some moments, that can happen after 80 hrs, but all in all i would say that the characters had the biggest influence on me, especially Ciri and Yennefer. Knowing the books and finally seeing them is probably the biggest factor here
So i can only recommend everybody to read the books, the games will have so much more to offer then.
Edit:
When i finished the game and was placed in an empty Kaer Morhen
THAT was harsh.
