Well I finished the main story after putting 86 hours into it and side missions.
Thoughts: (spoilers below)
The Bloody Baron's portion of the quests were interesting. Finding that his daughter had joined the a Eternal Fire and his wife was now a slave to the Crones, and yet they were both willing to try to save her was an interesting contrast.
I highly regret killing Keira. I mainly killed her so she wouldn't tell Triss and Yen of the...exploits the two had embarked on. The whole Fykes Isle story was interesting for a total side option thing. The Lighthouse Wraith was a bitch and a half, but I enjoyed the Forefather's mission from Pellar a lot so that made Fykes worth it alone.
Whoreson's story was hilarious because he was always getting his ass beat. After I found Dudu and sprung Dandelion, his embellished take on what had happened up to that point was funny.
The Skellige story was simple enough. I knew from the get go that the outgoing queen was up to something, and that if presented the opportunity I was going to make Cerys queen instead of making Hjalimar king.
The Battle of Kaer Mohren was AWESOME. One of the best "boss fight" type scenes I've ever had. I managed to bring everyone to defend Ciri except Keira (dead), Dikjstra (pissed I didn't find his money) and Emyhr (he apparently never comes). Was awfully fun, the whole mission though. I got scared when Zolrain fell off of the castle with one of the Hunt, thought they were going to kill him: glad they didn't. Vezemer kind of had to die, I saw it coming from a mile away, but he died in piss poor fashion (though Aarding Ciri to the other end of the yard was a cool little scene).
I did help Roche, Dikjstra and Phillipa kill the King, followed up by killing Dikjstra himself for betraying Roche (kept hoping for more Ves scenes...never got any).
The ending I got was after the death of the King of the Wild Hunt and Ciri's disappearance, Geralt put Ciri through the Grasses test, making her a full blown Witcher so she could hide from Emhyr,
Dandelion's post game tale told of Yen and Geralt splitting up for good, Triss refusing any dealings with Geralt and helping form a new Lodge and that after some training, Geralt and Ciri got separated for the rest of his life, ending with him saying "Geralt would continue taking contracts, never being coinless, but as time went on, no Witcher ever died in their bed."
By that line I'm guessing they're insinuating that there will not be another Geralt story, as I guess a monster finally gets him.
Though they did leave it open for a sequel as Ciri. Having Elder Blood tools the whole game could be fun.
Geralt got the sh*t end though. Triss and Yen tied him up and cold shouldered him the rest of his life, Vezemer was dead and Ciri was gone. Kind of sucks to be him.
Great game through. Gonna mop up achievements every so often but I'll probably not pop it back in for a long session till Halloween when the first major DLC comes out.
Meh.

I haven't gotten to through it yet, spent a lot of time, just wandering, between missions and contracts, but as of last night, I finished the Uma curse lifting mission. I might get side tracked now though, since Arkham Knight came out. I really liked the Bloody Baron's part of the game, and the character. He was a rare case in games for me, where I went back and forth several times between liking him and hating him. I mean on one hand when you found out he beat his wife, and was the reason his wife and daughter left, you hate him, but then you see him as a man who wants to attempt to right the wrongs he's commited, between the daughter he lost and his other daughter and wife running from him. I'm glad I went with the ending for him, that saw him take Anna away, to try and lift the binding of the Crones. It was great seeing Whoreson get his ass kicked all the time. What did you end up doing with him? As soon as you walk into the room, with all the dead girls, it was no question, he was dying by my hand. I did the same, helping Cerys become queen. It just seemed like a better outcome to have her lead over her brother. I've got to be honest, I don't know which way I'm going to go, after I get to the mission to kill the king. I mean part of me wants to side with Roche and Ves, as they are just trying to get their country back, and Dikjstra does double cross them, but on the other hand, I like Dikjstra. He's an ass, but for me at least, he's a lovable ass. I'm guessing by your romance outcome, you romanced both Triss and Yen?

I ended up romancing Triss for my current playthrough Admittedly the scene that came as the result of Triss/Yen in the same playthrough is almost worth Geralt being alone. The back and forth between Yen and Triss, then Geralt and Dandelion...god I was in tears when Dandelion started ripping Geralt to shreds with his poetry shade. Heh. Speaking of which, I believe you're far enough in the game to have at least started looking for Dandelion, did you get Zolran's "50 Shades of Grey" joke when running through Dandelion's Little Black Book? I died.

The relationship between Magdalenna and Dandelion took a turn for the...strange, recently." "How so?" "She took to dressing up in outfits, and having him tied up the same. Also started calling him Christian, and herself Anastasia." "Sounds shady." "Shady is a grey area, Wolf." I legit lost my sh*t at like two AM when I went through that conversation. In a slightly related note wait till you're in the ruins with Phillipa. She makes some...interesting comments about Ciri. Funny stuff.

Just completed story in 104 hours, still got quite a few quests and about 60-70 question marks on the map to uncover. Absolutely awesome game, I thought I was at the end at the battle of Kaer Morhen but the game just on going haha. I think I got a bit of an anticlimactic end so I will go back to my save and play through the end a couple more times, looking forward to the expansions though.

I've got to try and get back into the game. I had just finished the mission to lift Uma's curse. Then Arkham Knight came out and my attention went to that, but I'm almost 100% on it now, so hopefully I'll get myself back into Witcher. Just the way I can be with games, I get playing another good one, and my attention gets taken away.

man I have a tough time with deciding whether or not to kill/let someone go with any character, always have to look up what might happen later with that person.

Thought about making a new thread but I knew this was hiding somewhere. Blood & Wine has dropped, and The Witcher saga has officially come to a close. At least Geralt, if CD decides to go elsewhere with a different Witcher. Anyone playing Blood yet? Seems like it's a whole ing separate game albeit shorter, not just DLC. SO much fun.

Part of the fun was collecting the new cards and playing the npcs... depends on what the format is. Ive never really played video game versions of card games outside of final fantasy/witcher type mini games.

So the expansion was ing awesome. I got the epically good ending for me considering how my main game ended. Going back and replaying Witcher 2 to mop up missed achievements and take Iorveth's path, there's sooooo many references 3 made to 2 that I didn't catch. Just little nuances that are so trivial you'd miss them even as a diehard fan.
