This post is going be spoiler heavy so please be warned!
In one of the other thread JDR13 mentioned that the choices in Chapter 3 did not have any real consequences for the game. This got me thinking about C&C and TW3.
My memory of TW1 is bit vague now but the game had lot of C&C and most of them were pretty much self contained to that game. However I felt that your choice of Triss or Shani should have had an impact on TW2. However they choose to ignore this in TW2 and went with Triss. I think the game is better for this but it does make the whole C&C thing bit cheap. Luckily TW1 did not have many C&C that felt as though they should have some effect on TW2.
Take DA Origins, it had many C&C that felt as though they should have an impact on the expansion or the sequels but Bio ignored many of those C&C hence making them meaningless and cheap. Ignoring one or 2, I can live with but ignoring whole lot is very bad game design. If you are not going to follow them up then you should not include them to being with, IMHO.
This brings me to the C&C in TW2. Currently there are few C&Cs that feels as though they should have an effect on TW3. For example whether to kill Letho, Sila, Henslet, Sakais etc. If I killed Letho in my current play through then I don't want to see him alive in TW3!
Having said that I think TW3 will take place in Nilfgaard and many of these characters won't make an appearance at all, so they can easily get of this predicament. However it would be nice say bring back Letho in TW3 if he was alive in your TW2 as he is sort of related to Nilfgaard.
This brings me back to JDR13 point that many of your C&C in Chapter 3 did not have any consequences for TW2 and I don't think they are going to have much consequences for TW3 either.
Anyway enough of my ramblings!
