Guys, which do you think is the best ending for Ciri?
SpoilerOn one hand, I like the bittersweet ending of her becoming empress. Also if I don't talk to her about going to go see Emhyr it feel like Geralt is hiding from her that choice.
On another hand, I also like the witcher ending for her because it feels like this is where her heart really is, BUT like I said, if I don't bring her to Emhyr it feels like Geralt is choosing her fate for her instead of showing her her options.
Ciri becomes a witcher + Temeria independent vessel of Nilfgaard + Radovid dead feels too much of a perfect happy ending for the Witcher series. I just feel like the bittersweet ending fits more with the theme of the game. Seems more appropriate.

Witcher Ciri is the best for Ciri and Geralt. Empress Ciri is the best for everyone else it seems. Plus if you read any of the books or played any of the previous games people should know Geralt is around nobles and rulers all the time. It doesn't have to mean he won't be around Ciri anymore. Heck for an entire winter he made time in a rulers court, dating a sorceress in the books and did plenty of witcher contracts while there.
Also you didn't read the books did you? Massive book spoiler, don't click if you plan to read the books
Spoiler
Emhyr burned Ciri's home to the ground, had her grandmother brutally executed, is the reason that Ciri's mother is dead and for decades plans to force Ciri to have his child, through trickery or force. Only later does he decide against forcing his daughter to marry him and have his child. Geralt knows all of this too. Telling Ciri she shouldn't go and see her father seems perfectly reasonable given the circumstances. For one Geralt has no reason to trust that Emhyr (who ordered him and Yennifer executed at one point) doesn't have some new plan to get Ciri pregnant. And two, even if his reasons are exactly what it seems, Geralt knows it's a life she never wanted from a very young age and she actively ran from it. Just look at her at the Empress end, she is in tears as she gets ready to go on to a life she always hated and leaves the one she picked for herself and loved and the people that became her family after her old one was destroyed.
