The Witcher 3

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt boasts an amazing 36 possible endings. That might seem daunting, but rest assured that all of those endings are actually more like end “states,” determined by how you chose to complete certain quests. There are actually only three main endings, and the one you get is decided largely in the final stages of the main story. Here’s a full guide to The Witcher 3 endings.

Beware! This guide is riddled with spoilers!

Witcher 3 Endings:

The final quest is always called Something Ends, Something Begins. How it plays out is determined by your choices leading up to the end, and the main factor that differentiates them is what becomes of Ciri. In this final quest, Ciri will either become a witcher, become empress, or die. The outcome is determined by the choices you made during the following quests:

  1. Blood on the Battlefield
  2. Final Preparations
  3. The Child of the Elder Blood
  4. The sidequest chain, An Eye for an Eye, A Deadly Plot, Redania’s Most Wanted (Act Two) and Reason of State (Act Three).

The best ending (according to me): Ciri Becomes A Witcher

Whether or not Ciri survives her battle with the White Frost all comes down to her self-confidence. If Geralt’s choices gave her confidence in herself, one of the two endings where Ciri lives will be achieved. To get the one where she becomes a witcher, the following choices have to be made:

  1. During the quest Blood On The Battlefield, say “I know what might lift your spirits” when Ciri looses her temper after Avallac’h’s training.
  2. Do not bring Ciri to visit the emperor.
  3. During the Final Preparations quest, urge Ciri to go alone to speak to the Lodge of Sorceresses.
  4. During the Child Of The Elder Blood quest, say “go for it” when Ciri rages about Avallac’h.
  5. Also during Child Of The Elder Blood, say “Yeah, I’ll go with you” when Ciri asks you to come visit Skjall’s grave.

Note: To achieve this ending, you must follow step 2. You only need to choose at least 2 out of the 4 other options.

Ciri Becomes Empress

This ending’s also about Ciri’s self-confidence. To achieve this outcome, the following choices have to be made:

  1. During Blood On The Battlefield, bring Ciri to visit the emperor.
  2. Complete the sidequest chain of An Eye for an Eye, A Deadly Plot, Redania’s Most Wanted (Act Two) and Reason of State (Act Three). To unlock Reason of State, you’ll need to be nice to Dijikstra and give him information about Ciri when you go to his bathhouse for Philippa. You’ll also need to side with Roche and Ves against him at the end of the quest.
  3. During the quest Blood On The Battlefield, say “I know what might lift your spirits” when Ciri looses her temper after Avallac’h’s training.
  4. Say “Didn’t do it for coin” to the emperor, refusing payment from bringing Ciri to him.
  5. During the Final Preparations quest, urge Ciri to go alone to speak to the Lodge of Sorceresses.
  6. During the Child Of The Elder Blood quest, say “go for it” when Ciri rages about Avallac’h.
  7. Also during Child Of The Elder Blood, say “Yeah, I’ll go with you” when Ciri asks you to come visit Skjall’s grave.

Note: Steps 1 and 2 must be completed to achieve this ending. At least 3 of choices 3-7 must be made.

Ciri Dies

This is probably one of the most depressing endings to a game I’ve ever experienced, so I don’t recommend it. But if you’ve got your heart set on misery, this ending is all about making choices that cause Ciri to feel self-doubt. This means she will die during her confrontation with the White Frost.

  1. During the quest Blood On The Battlefield, say “Relax, you don’t have to be good at everything” when Ciri looses her temper after Avallac’h’s training.
  2. Accept payment from the emperor for bringing him Ciri, if you chose to visit the emperor.
  3. During the Final Preparations quest, go with Ciri to speak to the Lodge of Sorceresses.
  4. During the Child Of The Elder Blood quest, say “calm down” when Ciri rages about Avallac’h.
  5. Also during Child Of The Elder Blood, say “no time” when Ciri asks you to come visit Skjall’s grave.

Note: You need to make at least three out of the above five choices to trigger the sad ending.

There hasn’t been much buzz lately about any new acquisitions in the world of video game intellectual property. According to a recent report, Sony is currently engaged in discussions with a well-funded partner to potentially acquire the renowned film studio Paramount, along with all the exciting possibilities that come with such a merger.

As reported in the New York Times (thanks, ResetEra), Sony Picture Entertainment is reportedly in discussions with Apollo Global Management, an investment firm, as per two sources familiar with the matter. In the past, Apollo had made an offer to acquire Paramount for a minimum of $26 billion, but their bid was ultimately turned down.

The terms of the joint bid are currently under discussion, and there is a chance that the two parties may decide against making a formal offer. Unnamed sources have revealed that Paramount is currently in exclusive discussions with Skydance, preventing any official offer from being made at this time. Investor opposition to the recent deal that Skydance brought seems to have been significant.

The potential impact of such an acquisition is immense. First and foremost, it would introduce adaptations of Sonic and Halo into the expanding media empire of the PlayStation platform holder. Following the announcement, Paramount’s stock experienced a significant 11% surge in after-hours trading.

What are your thoughts on the news? Is there a possibility of Sony acquiring Paramount? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

In the ongoing conflict against the Automaton invasion fleet, the Helldivers 2 players have successfully halted their advance. However, the situation has now reached a tiresome stalemate. Yet again, the machines refuse to take a break from their relentless pursuit of progress, with reports emerging of the Factory Striders being deployed in record-breaking quantities.

There have been reports of alleged machines that were supposedly encountered during Operation Swift Disassembly, which was just the beginning of a larger campaign. However, these accounts should be taken with a grain of salt, as they are unverified and seem to be more on the imaginative side. Factory Striders have gained a reputation as formidable weapons platforms that can produce more Automatons while enduring significant damage. If the machines are able to withstand such a relentless assault, it will be necessary to develop innovative strategies.

Have you come across groups of Factory Striders in Helldivers 2? Which strategies are proving to be the most effective in taking down these armored brutes? The Orbital Railcannon Strike will prove to be a valuable asset in the comments section below.

Todd Howard affirms that the timeline of the Fallout series is coherent and well-constructed

The recent release of Amazon’s adaptation of Fallout has ignited a renewed interest in the series and brought attention to the captivating alternate history that forms its foundation. Fans have expressed concern that the TV show’s events might be at odds with the plot of the Obsidian Entertainment video game New Vegas. Warning: Spoilers ahead for New Vegas and Amazon’s show!

Bethesda Game Studios director Todd Howard and Fallout TV executive producer Jonathan Nolan recently sat down with IGN to discuss the timeline. Howard was taken aback when showrunners Graham Wagner and Geneva Robertson-Dworet presented him with the surprising concept of obliterating Shady Sands, the bustling capital of the New California Republic, in the aftermath of the events in New Vegas. Howard eventually warmed up to the idea: “After discussing it, we realized that this could be a significant story moment that many things hinge upon.”

It seems that they had to make some tough decisions to ensure everything fell into place, but Howard emphasizes the importance of preserving the integrity of the Fallout timeline: “We take great care with the timeline. There seems to be some confusion in certain areas. However, all the events from the previous games, including New Vegas, did occur. We take great caution in that matter. We’re really pushing the limits here, but the explosions occur right after the events of New Vegas.

What are your thoughts on this? Is it up to par? Even though it may not have a significant impact on the overall quality of the games or show, it is comforting to know that those in charge are paying attention. We value your feedback and would love to hear your thoughts in the comments section below.
