I've been a long time fan and no it doesn't have to end, Geralt's story that is, played all the games and read most the books. started back when TW2 came out for xbox 360. no they rushed his story in tw3, I can tell you this with certainty, the trilogy should've actually been 4 or 5 games. After that then yea end it on a good note so it doesn't get too repetitive but this game completely skipped over war/politics which were present in the previous games in which Geralt got entangled in and thus became a part of, would've made sense to go into depth of that part of the story and play out a resolution. The scoai'tael completely left out for example. The Lodge and apparently all mages in this game are complete cowards? They hardly even fight back against the Witch hunters if at all in this game and try to organize. The Conclave also is not even mentioned, you would think it would've been a great time for them to try and organize to bring some order and diplomacy into the world during this chaos between witch hunters and mages, even if they were dispersed by Radovid's army at the end of TW2 I doubt they would continue to obey him if he went on massacring mages. The Wild Hunt(which is pretty much tied to Geralt's destiny) although fantastic in theory and very interesting I thought didn't feel epic much at all. I would give that part of the story done in this game a 7/10. In fact I would say the specters of TW2 were better, in Vergen, that to me felt more epic. But basically feels like it comes up short in TW3, like it fails the prophecy, and feels like it's just a side thing that no one is really paying attention to in the world. Left a lot to be desired. And I think that is ultimately where this feeling from people who don't want it to end is coming from. This last game left a lot to be desired for some of us at least.
