Who canonically wins the war in Witcher 3?

There's no single "canon" winner because The Witcher 3 offers multiple outcomes, but the most commonly accepted canon ending (especially if CD Projekt Red continues the story) leans towards Redania/Dijkstra winning the war, with Radovid dead, or Nilfgaard winning, with some lore suggesting Nilfgaard's temporary defeat leading to Radovid's rise as "Protector of the North," but Nilfgaard ultimately losing the war is often seen as the most consistent with the wider lore, though complicated by player choice.

Should I spare Gaetan in Witcher 3?

The choice to kill or spare Gaetan in The Witcher 3 is a major moral dilemma with no easy answer, revolving around his massacre of villagers after being betrayed and cheated by them, balanced against his own brutal life and sparing a child, with rewards varying but generally not game-breaking, leaving it up to player interpretation of Geralt's character and justice. Sparing him shows compassion for a fellow Witcher driven to rage but risks his future instability; killing him is a harsh justice for the innocent deaths but eliminates a valuable monster slayer and potentially a threat.

Ciri is more powerful in raw magical potential (Elder Blood) and has world-breaking abilities like teleportation, making her theoretically stronger long-term, but Geralt is the superior, more experienced, and consistent fighter in direct combat, having mastered Witcher training and mutations, which often allows him to defeat foes Ciri struggles with, like Caranthir. Ciri's power is raw and often uncontrolled, while Geralt's strength lies in his honed skills and experience, making him more reliable in a straight fight, though her potential is vast.

Can you romance Ciri?

No, you cannot romance Ciri in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt; she is Geralt's adoptive daughter, and any romantic interactions are strictly taboo, though players sometimes mistake familial affection for romance or explore non-canon fan content, as Ciri does have love interests in the books like Mistle and later Galahad, notes Reddit users and Manchester Evening News. Geralt's relationship with Ciri is that of a father figure, and while some players look for romance options, Ciri's romantic storylines occur in the books with other characters, not Geralt.

The games allow player choice, but Yennefer's relationship with Geralt, especially concerning Ciri, aligns with the books' core narrative, making her the definitive choice for canon.

Is it worth killing the succubus in The Witcher 3?

Whether to kill the succubus in The Witcher 3 depends on your playstyle, moral compass, and whether you prioritize gameplay rewards (like the Succubus Decoction) over Geralt's usual non-lethal approach to sentient, non-aggressive monsters. Killing her yields a valuable mutagen for the Succubus Decoction, but sparing her (especially the one in Novigrad, Salma) aligns better with Geralt's character and can benefit you later in quests like "Skellige's Most Wanted" by proving you spare monsters.

Why can't females become witchers?

There are no female Witchers in the main canon primarily because the "Trial of the Grasses" mutations, designed for male biology with high adrenaline response, had a near 100% mortality rate for females in early attempts, leading the Witcher schools to focus solely on boys. While the Manticore School produced some female Witchers, and some lore suggests variations might exist, the overwhelming lore from books and games points to the trials being largely incompatible with female physiology, though Ciri trained like a Witcher and could potentially become one later.

Will Geralt show up in Witcher 4?

Yes, Geralt will be in The Witcher 4 (Project Polaris), but not as the main protagonist; his story arc concluded in The Witcher 3, so he'll likely appear in a supporting role or for specific story beats, with the new game focusing on a different Witcher, likely Ciri, who is training to become a Witcher.
