(Note that some spoilers for the game follow!) The game ends with Geralt being pulled out of his fight with Eredin by Yennefer, his potential partner and sorceress. However, the remade cutscene shows Geralt waking up in a tent and receiving care from two doctors making a bet on his survival rate. From there, he leaves the hospital and talks to Yennefer, whose dialogue varies depending on whether he\u2019s romancing her or another sorceress, Triss. Regardless of who Geralt was dating in the original game, you can ask where Ciri is or who won the war.<\/p>\n<div class=\"caas-iframe-wrapper\" data-embed-anchor=\"d1cdce45-a959-5b40-82ad-33e432c38035\">\n<div class=\"caas-iframe youtube\" style=\"padding-bottom:56%\" data-type=\"youtube\">\n<blockquote data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/M3GMtR7U_hI?rel=0\" scrolling=\"no\"><p><noscript><iframe title=\"Witcher 3: Yennefer Betrays the Lodge - Deleted Ending | REDkit Restoration\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/M3GMtR7U_hI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The extended ending continues with more deleted content, including Geralt attending Crach\u2019s funeral, him meeting the Lodge of Sorceresses, and Yennefer betraying the Lodge to save Ciri. xLetalis speculated towards the end of the video that CD Projekt Red changed their minds about including Yennefer\u2019s betrayal in the final game for creative reasons <a data-i13n=\"cpos:3;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/gamedesignskills.com\/game-design\/narrative-design\/#match-the-story-to-your-players-motivation\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:such as prioritizing matching the player's motivations with the beat of the story;cpos:3;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">such as prioritizing matching the player&#8217;s motivations with the beat of the story<\/a>, as they have no insider or PR connections within the company to confirm it.<\/p>\n<p>The restoration of the deleted content by Glassfish was made possible by CD Projekt Red <a data-i13n=\"cpos:4;pos:1\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/witchergame\/status\/1787802994773233878\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:releasing the REDkit modding tool for the PC version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt;cpos:4;pos:1;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">releasing the REDkit modding tool for the PC version of <em>The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt<\/em><\/a><em>\u00a0<\/em>in May.
