Warning: Main Spoilers for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt lie forward.
Which ending to the bottom model of The Witcher 3 you get is determined by lots of issues. There are the large apparent decisions, together with a heap of smaller ones, and it is the previous that actually shapes the ultimate correct cutscene you get earlier than the sport paints an image of the remainder in storybook model. Because it seems, there was slightly extra to one in all these closing cutscenes, and a modder’s now restored it.
As with nearly all of the extra attention-grabbing works that’ve popped up as a part of a Witcher 3 modding rennaisance over the previous few months, this one would not have been potential with out the REDkit modding instruments. You understand, those that’re offering lots of cool stuff to assist tide us throughout whereas we watch for extra information on The Witcher 4 and the opposite tasks CD Projekt’s presently busy engaged on.
If you happen to often choose the trail in TW3’s major story that sees Ciri run off and turn out to be a witcher following the sport’s climax, you may be familar with the scene modder Merigoldmaribor has revisited with their mod ‘Ciri Witcher Ending Restoration’.
After Gerry acquires a brand new sword for her, he and his stepdaughter of types meet up on the inn in White Orchard for a fast chat, earlier than heading out to start a post-credits journey we do not get to see. As you’ll be able to watch right here, the unique model cuts to black with Ciri shoving her new blade again into its sheath, earlier than the narrator tells you in regards to the penalties of the remainder of your actions.
Merigoldmaribor’s mod restores an additional little bit of the scene after that re-sheathing, which sees Gerry and Ciri truly rise up and head to exit the inn. Geralt kicks issues off by saying that both Yennefer or Triss – relying on which the participant’s chosen to couple up with throughout their playthrough – awaits in Ellander. Ciri then responds: “We are able to meet her in two days if we hurry.” The pair strategy the door, and growth, roll credit.
Whereas working in a point out of Ellander is good for lore-heads, given that it is the duchy close to Vizima the place the Temple of Melitele that options in each the books and season two of Netflix’s The Witcher, I would wager there’s unlikely to be a lot substantial to learn into when it comes to any future witcher video games right here, particularly because it sounds from one in all Merigoldmaribor and one other modder MerseyRockoff’s feedback that this unused bit was left in a “very buggy” state by CD Projekt.
If something, all I would say it probably foreshadows is CD Projekt electing to incorporate a pleasant reunion together with your associate of selection or Ciri within the Blood and Wine DLC, which primarily serves as the right ending level of any Witcher 3 playthrough now. However hey, who is aware of what much more hardcore followers than me may dig up.
Would you’ve most well-liked it if The Witcher 3 ending that sees Ciri turn out to be a witcher had concluded like this? Tell us under.
