[SPOILER] Where are the characters after endgame?

[$GME Bagholder]

I just beat the game with the "good" ending where ciri survives and becomes a witcher. Geralt remains a witcher as I denied Romance with both Triss and Yen (because I thought Yen is the "typical ♥♥♥♥♥♥ female") and Radovid captures the north because I underestimated him and didn't want to get into politics as a witcher. Anyway, while I can still do sidequests and witcher contracts that I am way too overpower for, I can't find Ciri anywhere, despite just talking to her. I thought you could do contracts with her or at least have a bit of end game content but I can't find any of the main characters. Zoltan and Dandelion are still at the In business but the don't even have interactive talking cutscenes, just a pre-recorded "Geralt!". Is it really this lonely after you beat the game?

The game drops you back at Kaer Morhen right before the final quest. A pop-up came on the screen to tell you that. You can't find anyone because the game isn't designed like that. What if you had gotten one of the two other endings? They couldn't create three different post-game worlds. They barely made it through the base game itself.

Anyway, you still haven't finished the game, as far as the game is concerned, which is why you have a prompt to do Something Ends, Something Begins again. It's just so you have an opportunity to go back into the game world and finish up whatever you didn't before.

No I did the main quests category dissapeared and I got a popup about ng+

So you did no secondary quests at all or contracts either? Not sure that's entirely possible since some of them are critical path quests, meaning you had to do them in order to unlock the paths necessary to do some of the main quests.

The NG+ allows you to play the game with your finished level if it is 30 or above. If it is lower, it will bump you up to level 30. You get to keep your gear and stuff, all items in your stash, your gold, all recipes found and crafted. But you'd have to do the whole game over again to get all the Gwent cards, all the books, have to unlock all the signposts again for fast travel, all the contracts, side quests, and main quests to the end. The only real thing it does is bump up all enemies by 30 levels as well. And it gives you Legendary versions of all Witcher gear. But you'll need to buy the maps, find the diagrams and craft them all over again too.

But back to your question, if you really skipped doing pretty much half the game, many of them will no longer be possible. When you reached Kaer Morhen the first time, to do the Uma quest, Ugly Baby, some quests will have failed and become impossible to complete. When you first began the Isle of Mists quests to finally go find Ciri, you would have gotten a pop-up warning you that it was a Point of No Return, meaning that some quests would fail and become impossible to finish.

If you skipped all those, you won't be able to go back and do them once the game is over. It's only meant for those secondary quests that do not involve main characters in the game or are tied to the main story quest line, such as the Treasure Hunts, Scavenger Hunts and many of the contracts. Some secondary quests as well but not those that were critical path quests.

None of the main characters are interactable anymore because the game isn't structure like that. Their part in the game is done. It doesn't have an infinite loop of dialogue that's possible for them.

I did all secondary quests besides the Gwent ones cuz that game is stupid and the Radovid assassination and I did all the contracts I got and finished most of the treasure hunts

It seems weird how after all of that they all just dissapear and Ciri who you just risked your life to save and defeat the hunt together and now you are all alone as if nothing happened. Kinda dissapointing but it was a great game nonetheless and I will do NG+. I was like level 35 or 36 at the end so will I start at level 36?

The game was never meant for NG+, it got added because customer demand demanded it. Before that it was the end. Zoltan and Dandelion have nothing to say because the game is over.
In your game. Geralt is a wondering Witcher, Yen have left to do something else, Triss is a royal advisor, Ciri is a wondering witcher as well (I say the good ending is when she become queen, its only as a leader she will actually be able to do anything good. Monsters are going extinct anyway), all other witchers have left to go somewhere else and Radovid is a crazy ruler that will burn people alive, invade countries and cause thousands of dead.

However if you want to continue however you should go into the Blood and Wine DLC. Then you can end by settling down and become an artisan in a land of Wine and vampires.

You're looking at this as if you're playing in a wolrd stete after the ending, which you're not.

Once the main story is over, that's it, it's over and all the characters (including Geralt) move on. You're thrown back at a pre-final quest world state only for the sake of completing side quests and contracts you may have missed. It's purely mechanical.

If you do want to know where some of the characters have moved on after the main story, including Geralt, then try out Blood and Wine.

But if both Ciri and Geralt are witchers they should at least meet sometimes? I will buy the DLC's because it was a great game. And also I wish there was still a way to try to assassinate Radovid. I refused to do it before because witchers are supposed to stay out of politics and I underestimated Radovid but I don't feel like its worth a new game for just that, especially if you know the main story (plus I already looked at which choices trigger which ending so it will not be any fun)
