It's a game based on the books, not a faithful representation of the books.
They can do whatever they want.
Yeah

Yes they surely can. But isn't that a major problem then? Won't we hear it even more that your choices don't matter? How would people react if you killed Letho but he appears no matter what? So far to date that is the only except to the rule.
But in the case of Adda you have two games where she is dead. TW1 by your hand and in TW2 Foltest confirms that she's dead. So to keep her alive they would have to break a death from both previous games and not just the first one.
Finally, this is why there won't be a TW4 with Geralt. The situation is just too messed up.
I find it pretty weird that the biggest choice in TW2 is completely insignificant in TW3. I wouldn't expect smaller choices to matter, but TW3 should have done a better job with Anais and Saskia. You give up a lot to help them and its basically entirely irrelevant.
I'm not worried about TW4, Geralt's story is done, thankfully. TW4 won't even be happening until 2020, so for now, I'm more interested in seeing if CDPR can fix up some of their missing characters and unresolved story arcs in TW3.
Considering all the gripes that Mass Effect, Dragon Age and now Witcher series received from players I doubt if companies will go for the "import save impacts world" stuff going forward. Why should they? Much easier just doing something like the Elder Scrolls did.

People LOVE seeing their decisions carry over but then you get 90% of people choosing to do X, only for the need to devote 50% to option Y.
The problem of the imports from TW2 to TW3 is that EVERY BLOODY MAJOR DECISION WE MADE IN TW2 WAS TO SET UP WITCHER 3 and they ALL MEANT FUCK ALL besides Letho.
Temeria is still in shambles and Nilfgaard still invades. That`s bigger than anything else we can do in the game. The only thing developers forced on the story, which could change anything in the political scenario of the invaded north, is Henselt`s death.
it only affects how the narrative goes, not where it goes, which is kinda frustrating.
Very damned wrong. You mentioned Henselt. I'll mentioned several things myself.
Stennis: With him dead Aedirn is destabilized or if he's alive it becomes more stable.
Saskia: A powerful dragon leading a nonhuman rebelion. The rebelion can succeed or fail and Saskia can remain controlled, be set free or be killed.
The Conclave: A high ranking Nilfgaardian ambassador is either killed or survives and the mages as a whole are blamed for the regicides and thus a witch hunt begins OR The Conclave is reformed and only the Lodge is blamed.
Anais+Adda: Radovid either is married to Foltest's eldest daughter or he isn't. He also may have a better claimant in the form of Anais or Roche has her. The entire dynamic between Radovid and Roche changes in TW2 depending on the choice and if you gave Anais to Radovid certain Temerians view Roche as a traitor.
Of course that's annoying but it's a certainly a hell lot better then nothing occurring and every choice being rendered meaningless. Besides Nilfgaard was always going to have success, that DOES NOT JUSTIFY EVERYTHING WE DID BEING THROW IN THE GARBAGE because the impact of those decisions sure as hell wasn't meaningless.

It's dissonant but the simple fact was that development circumstances changed.
They had their very own specific idea of doing a storyline of a more personal level focused on Geralt, Yen, Ciri, and (to a far lesser extent) Triss Merrigold.
Well I don't know if you ever played blood omen legacy of kain, however in the first game you had a choice to sacrifice yourself or not, they still made sequels based on the premise kain was never altruistic. I love the whole game series so I am glad they took liberties with the ending to make the story their way.
Same as this one, i love the whole series, and the story allows them to be flexible and write how they want it.
