Note - There are spoilers on the page about the more important NPCs and what can happen in their lives as a result of actions performed by Geralt.
- Bloody Baron's fate - Phillip Strenger
- Sara's fate - Novigrad godling
- Keira Metz fate
- Junior's fate
- Mage's fate
Fate of many people depends on Geralt's choices, especially ones whose story intertwined with Geralt's. Each of those key characters you will meet in the main storyline. In difference to previous ending options that are concluded at the end of the game, these can occur in various phases of the game. So it is possible that the storyline of a given character will be closed long before the end of the main campaign and nothing new will happen in it.
Bloody Baron's fate - Phillip Strenger
You meet Bloody Baron soon after you leave White Orchard. You decide his fate during few quests, from which a side The Whispering Hillock at the Crookback Bog is most important. In this quest you decide whether you will help a ghost living in a tree or will you kill it. Depending on your decision one of two endings will occur:
- If you release the ghost, baron's wife will die and he will kill himself - his soldiers will rule in Velen with brutal hand.
- If the ghost is killed, then Anna will survive - Baron will take her to folk healer in the mountains, so the outcome will be similar - the military will rule
Sara's fate - Novigrad godling
In the Novigrad Dreaming main quest you meet with Corrine Tilly. A godling Sara started living in her house. You can chase it away or let it stay in the house by lying to the owner that the house is haunted. Both decisions are positive:
- If you make peace with Sara, she will befriend Corrine,
- If you chase the creature from the house, she will go to the swamps where she will befriend someone else.
Keira Metz fate
You meet Keira Metz almost simultaneously with Bloody Baron and the first related quest is Hunting a Witch. In addition to the main quest she offers few side quests to you. After a while Keira will want to go to Radovid - It is part of the For the Advancement of Learning.
- You can offer Keira a safe haven in Kaer Mohren - positive ending,
- If Keira gets to Radovid - she will die, similarly as if you ignore the side quests.
Junior's fate
Junior is one of the leaders of a criminal group from Novigrad. You will be trying to find him in a sequence of quests for Dijkstra - the main quest Get Junior is the most important. In the final confrontation you will have to decide whether you kill or spare him - both decisions will be harmless for the city.
- Kill Junior - doppler Dudu will take his place - the criminal group will become harmless under his leadership.
- Spare Junior - he will survive but be demoted and become harmless.
Mage's fate
You can decide on what happens with mages in Novigrad by starting or ignoring the Now or Never quest, which takes place in Novigrad and which is related to Triss Merigold.. Sadly, no matter what decision you make, both solutions are negative.
- Complete the quest (mages run away) - the mages will survive, but people will be more hostile against inhumans,
- Ignore the quest - the mages will be captured and murdered.
