The outcome of the bottom model in The Witcher 3 is influenced by various factors. Massive choices abound, accompanied by numerous smaller ones, subtly influencing the final cinematic outcome as the game’s narrative unfolds in a masterfully crafted tapestry of storytelling. A long-lost scene has resurfaced, courtesy of a dedicated modder who has brought it back to life.
Without the innovative tools provided by the REDkit modding framework, the vast majority of extraordinary works that have recently emerged in the Witcher 3 modding community, including this outstanding piece, would not have been possible. While some are providing substantial assistance to help us navigate this period, we eagerly await further details on The Witcher 4 and other projects that CD Projekt is currently working on.
In the event that you decided to follow the alternate trail in TW3’s primary story, which sees Ciri depart and transform into a witcher after the game’s climax, you may be familiar with the scene modder Merigoldmaribor revisiting with their ‘Ciri Witcher Ending Restoration’ mod.
Gerry, having recently acquired a new sword, meets with his stepdaughter at the inn in White Orchard for a brief conversation before embarking on a mysterious post-credits adventure that unfortunately remains unseen. As the scene fades to black, Ciri secures her new blade in its sheath before the narrator’s ominous warnings about the consequences of her future choices unfold.
The Merigoldmaribor mod subtly expands on the scene where Gerry and Ciri prepare to leave the inn, capturing a moment of quiet determination as they decide to depart together. As Geralt begins the story, he reveals that whichever love interest – either Yennefer or Triss Merigold, depending on the player’s choice – can be found waiting in Ellander for their protagonist. Ciri’s eyes sparkled with determination as she replied, “We’ll meet her in two days if we rush.” As they approached the door, Casper carefully rolled a small crystal orb to seal their fate.
While exploring Ellander might delight lore enthusiasts due to its proximity to Vizima, the location of the Temple of Melitele featured in both book series and Netflix’s The Witcher season two, it is likely that there isn’t much substance to be gleaned from any future Witcher games here.
If that’s all I’d say, it likely portends a heartwarming reunion featuring your chosen companion, including Geralt, Dandelion, or even Ciri in the Blood and Wine DLC, which effectively functions as the definitive conclusion for any Witcher 3 experience. What lies beneath the surface that might resonate with even the most devoted enthusiasts?
Wouldn’t the most satisfying conclusion to The Witcher 3’s story have been for Ciri to remain human, free from the curse of the wild hunt and the White Frost? Tell us under.
