The following details the fates of characters after the end of the Main Quest.
Conclusion 6: The Ruler of Novigrad and Velen (No Man’s Land)
Radovid: A tactical genius, he handily defeated the Nilfgaardians to the south, and Radovid became ruler if you ignored all of the Assassins’ Quests, and did not complete Secondary Quest: Reason of State. Radovid’s subsequent witch hunt resulted in the murder of thousands of pellars, herbalists, and nonhumans.
Dijkstra: The emperor was repelled in the field, Radovid fell victim to assassins, and a shadowy force took up the reins of power, if you completed all of the Assassins’ Quests, Secondary Quest: Reason of State, and sided with Dijkstra. A consolidation of his rule and industrialization followed (for the good of his subjects, but contrary to their will).
Emhyr var Emreis: With Radovid falling to an assassins’ blade, the Northern Realms fell to the Emhyr’s countless legions, if you completed all of the Assassins’ Quests, Secondary Quest: Reason of State, and sided with Vernon Roche and Thaler. Emhyr redirected his forces, while the Temerians got their country back.
Conclusion 7: The Fate of the Emperor
Emhyr var Emreis lives!: After Radovid’s forces were dealt with, Emhyr turned to those who had conspired against him (soldiers and aristcrats alike) and showed no mercy. This occurs if the Ruler of Novigrad and Velen is Emhyr var Emreis.
Emhyr var Emreis dies!: Boundlessly obedient as long as victory continued, Emhyr’s subjects attacked after his string of humiliating defeats, and slew him on the steps of his palace at Vizima. This occurs if the Ruler of Novigrad and Velen is either Radovid or Dijkstra.
Conclusion 8: The Ruler of Skellige
Cerys an Craite: There was no raiding of foreign shores, as Cerys turned to care for her own people and lands. Skellige prospered greatly, albeit with its fangs of yore dulled. This occurs if you completed the Clan An Craite Quests and sided with Cerys during King’s Gambit.
Hjalmar an Craite: Despite the war on the Continent ending, Hjalmar vowed to loot and burn the shores of the hated Empire of Nilfgaard every spring, even if he was to drown his own people in blood. This occurs if you completed the Clan An Craite Quests and sided with Hjalmar during King’s Gambit.
Svanrige Bran: The young king was no puppet. Tired of the Jarls’ incessant feuding, he transformed the isles into an absolute monarchy like those of the Continent. This was an achievement thick with the blood of his countrymen. This occurs if you ignored the Clan An Craite Quest: Secondary Quest: King’s Gambit.
Conclusion 9: The Fate of Ciri
Ciri is Dead?: Since the memorable events on Undvik, Ciri is yet to be seen. Which hardly means she’s never to return. This occurs if you completed Epilogue: Something Ends, Something Begins I (more negative choices than positive ones during Main Quest: Blood on the Battlefield, Main Quest: Final Preparations, and Main Quest: Battle Preparations).
Ciri is Empress: Returning to her paternal home of Nilfgaard, Ciri had the requisite qualities of an empress (political instinct and a sense of simple, human decency). Emhyr prepared to name her his successor. This occurs if you completed Epilogue: Something Ends, Something Begins II (more positive choices than negative ones during Main Quest: Blood on the Battlefield, Main Quest: Final Preparations, and Main Quest: Battle Preparations, and you visited Emhyr during Main Quest: Blood on the Battlefield). Radovid must also be dead (you completed Secondary Quest: Reason of State), and you must side with Roche and Thaler.
Ciri is Alive: Choosing to live as a Witcher, on the Path, Geralt taught her all he knew, before they each set off on their own. Rumors spread from the Yaruga to the mountains of Kovir of this ashen-haired adventuress. This occurs if you completed Epilogue: Something Ends, Something Begins III (more positive choices than negative ones during Main Quest: Blood on the Battlefield, Main Quest: Final Preparations, and Main Quest: Battle Preparations, and you did not visit Emhyr during Main Quest: Blood on the Battlefield).
Conclusion 10: The Fate of Geralt
With Triss: It is hard to believe, but Geralt finally planted roots in far away Kovir. The smell of freshly-baked cakes, an occasional job to undertake, and a fortune to spend as Triss was mage advisor to Kovir’s king. The occurs if you completed Secondary Quest: Now or Never, told Triss you loved her, and chose to be with her. If prompted, you also need to ignore the advances of Yennefer during Secondary Quest: Last Wish.
With Yennefer: Geralt and Yennefer retreated away from politics to a quiet, calm life together. They ate breakfasts well after noon, most often in bed, passing time on lazy strolls or long conversations. This occurs if you completed Secondary Quest: Last Wish, and chose to be with Yennefer. If prompted, you also need to ignore the advances of Triss during Secondary Quest: Now or Never.
Forever Alone: Sticking to his profession, living hand to mouth, always on the road, ever coinless. A drink with Dandelion to speculate what could have been. This occurs if you completed both Secondary Quests: Last Wish and Now or Never, and told both Triss and Yennefer you wanted to be with them. Or, this occurs if you ignored both these quests, and any romance options with Triss or Yennefer.
