The key to avoiding the ending the bad ending is by looking out for Ciri, not as a father but for her best interests. If you accidentally managed to trigger the worst possible ending there is to the game, it may or may not have been intentional. The bad ending is actually a great learning experience for players. Monsters approach him, and it is implied that Geralt did let himself be killed as he did not attempt to resist the attacks. Geralt manages to retrieve Ciri’s Witcher medallion, and we see nothing but a heartbroken father. During the ending sequence, we see Geralt hunt down the last remaining crone who escaped Ciri’s wrath. If you trigger all of the above sequences, Ciri ends up dying when he tries to battle the White Frost. Not showing empathy during The Child of the Elder Blood also adversely affects your relationship with her. It makes her feel that you value nothing more than money. In the same chapter, if you choose to accept payment from the emperor for bringing Ciri to him, Ciri will be upset over your actions. During the Blood on the Battlefield mission, if you choose the “Relax, you don’t have to be good at everything” option, it will make Ciri question herself, and she loses her self-confidence. It takes a complete madman or a psychopath to get the bad ending involuntarily considering how much effort you have to put in to make your daughter lose all respect for you. To trigger the bad ending, you need to ruin your relationship with Ciri throughout the game, and you should never be getting this ending unless you are actively trying to. You also have influence over the politics of the land and depending on who you side with you can help your allies win wars in Skellige, Temeria, Novigrad, and Nilfgaard. While your actions in their respective quests do not affect the main ending, they can change the game world significantly permanently. There are other pivotal decisions that you need to make that affect the fate of characters like the Bloody Baron, Keira Metz, Sara the Godling and more. Even though Geralt is not Ciri’s father by blood, he cares for her just as much as a real father would and how you interact with her can affect the ending of the game. One thing that CDPR did brilliantly was developing Geralt and Ciri’s relationship.
In fact, it is Ciri who manages to dispel the White Frost and save the world. But the looming White Frost is not something our hero from Rivia can tackle. Throughout the three games, we get to play as Geralt and see him mature as a character.
