Choices have consequences. Play again. Make better choices. Get a happy ending.
I got the perfect ending, the one I wanted, and they all lived happily every after. As I have found out since I was only one bad choice away from it all going horribly wrong. Phew!
Yes, totally understandable. The tragic end is the most powerful and impressive. For the first 2 days I couldn't even listen to the soundtrack of TW3. 
But then after seeing other endings I feel they are not serious or well thought out. Choices leading to them are rather arbitrary (Game: - yellow or green? Me: -ehm... yellow. Game: -Too bad, you die then.). So, after all I think I still prefer the tragic end to everything else no matter what choices are there.

I got the witcher-ending. I'm totally fine with that ending and it makes sense too.
I've expressed my reasons here: http://forums.cdprojektred.com/threads/46284-What-is-your-favorite-ending-SPOILERS
Have you read classical Greek or Shakespear's tragedies? Would they be that good if they didn't have tragic ending? No, because tragic end makes you think about the reason you live yourself and about people who are close to you. It makes you define the goals in your own life more clear, since we're all, including people whom we love, going to die, as you say, forever. Happy end doesn't make you reevaluate your perception of the world.
I guess tragedies require a certain type of mentality to be appropriated. Of course we (currently) have no way to avoid death, but there are "good ways to go" and to be honest, happy endings does indeed make me reevaluate my perception of the world and my goals on life. Because they give me inspirations and goals to hope for as it is easy to see and understand how fragile success is. But too each their own.
Hehe... i found a solution. I'm using 3-4 saves that i usually save to when I'm in a session, meaning they are all very new saves BUT luckily for me I had one save at level 16. I finished the game 15 levels and 20-30 hours later so I got some job ahead of me.
For me i was crazy that I ended up with that ending, here I thought I was a good person making good choices Apparently not :-. I actually had the possible of different endings in mind when I played so I came as a surprise for me. I felt really aweful, after getting my ending which I think is a problem...
1) A Witcher 4 game (yes, I might want more, but happy endings on everyone next time) can't possible build on the aftermath without pulling a rabit out of a hat by overriding my experience in Withcer 3. Some character(s) would be great to have in Witcher 4 (we all know who!), but by allowing the sad ending that would be difficult without doing some mambo jambo black hole thingy.
2) I felt BAD. My initial post was just a few hours after finishing the game and I was still sad. I thought it was one of the best games I've played until the end. I see some people argue that as to life, games can be tragic to... well, I play games to relax and feel good about myself. I feel awesome when I find this cool new sword or learn new spells end enjoy a good story. The game did this beautifully. The world effects of a players choices are okey, what I did not like are the endgame for the main characters.
If i did not stick to the game I would have just moved on, played other games that made me feel good. I felt that I didn't want to play the game anymore with the ending I've god which is a problem since the developers are going to push DLCs and addons - just a thought. Its bad for business. Many would argue that making the game all about shiny rainbows and puppies is bad, but as Randomdrowner2015 stated; if you have to go - make sure you go in a good way.

If you mean Geralt and Ciri that is...
Ciri has no reason to return to Geralt if he was treating her like crap and she had only bad memories of their time together... Doesn't mean she died.
Geralt being furious facerolled a Crone, I doubt a few ghouls/drowners would kill him a few moments after, that'd be rather pathetic story wise than sad...
I put over 140 hours into the game and there's still a ton of side quests around the world left to do but... I feel exhausted. I got a tragic ending. There was no explanation of what happened to other main characters so there was no closure and it felt very unsatisfying. I don't know what I did wrong and I don't want to read spoilers but I'll pick myself up and start over when I'm feeling better.
EDIT: I figured out what I did wrong. I was on a marathon run and very tired and missed some obvious details...

in Avallac'h's lab. I went to a previous save and helped Ciri make a mess of the place. I continued on from there and got a nice ending. I feel stupid for missing those details but you have to pay attention in these games, if you're too tired to focus you should take a break or go to bed

Hey guys! I'm happy again! Got the endings I wanted, haha!
A question came to mind; should you as a player get a depressing ending on a game you spend your money and time on? As I said earlier I play games to enjoy myself, to have a good time. I don't want to spend 40-60 hours just to end up with shit feelings about the result. The developers should be allowed to do this, but could it be optional? When starting a game I could be warned if I wanted a sad and depressing ending, or "opt out" to get the nice one? At least the first time you play the game and/or playing on the lower difficulties? Just a thought

Yes, I'm intimate with both ladies, result became a lonely Witcher. And I do as logic father do, make Ciri grown up, and make her see her own father before last battle. Result she decide became an empress. In the end, Geralt are alone, and as CDPR will end his story, means Geralt will die somewhere without people notice him.
I hate this ending, but as I replay to have other ending, the impact isn't quite strong as the "BAD" ending. So, Triss and Yen forget Geralt and Ciri became an Empress is the best impact for me.

Oh well...I gave this game 3 playthroughs (1 on B&BB, 2 on DM) but I still have the same feeling..the main story after Kaer Morhen is simply L-A-C-K-I-N-G!!!! ..The Wild Hunt was a joke/disgrace to CDPR's standards of delivering story characters...and don't get me started on those epilogues...none of them provide any proper closure for Geralt (maybe the BAD one comes close to a well executed one..but not quite enough)...& i think the devs realized this but it was too close to Relase/late so they even shoved that Ciri line "what could you know about saving the world silly, you're but a witcher. this is my story"...I literally went bananas when I saw that line..

I know what you mean BUT ironically it's nearly the best executed of the bunch...*sigh*...even though without Geralt Triss would have ended up cannon meat for the Witch Hunters and Yen & Ciri would both be in some harem in Tir Na Lia satisfying Imlerith's "carnal" desires ..
I don't think people here are actually saying that it's a bad one story/plot-wise but lacking in the way it was executed..felt rushed..etc.
