It's funny, I see the ending of the game, which of course as awesome, as not the ending of the story but rather just the beginning. The idea that there's nothing interesting left to happen astonishes me, that there are that many people with so little imagination, it's sad really. My mind sees endless possibilities, and I'd love for a sequel to continue the story. My favorite scenarios would probably involve going a few years into the future and making Ellie the main character of the sequel, but I wouldn't mind Joel being the main character again, it's a fascinating world, a powerful storyline, and we've seen so little of it so far, we definitely should have more.

Certainly the ending sets up perfectly for a sequel, and I'd love for the story to continue. The possibilities are endless for how the story could go, hopefully Ellie would be all grown up and could be the main character in the sequel, but even if it's just set a few months later and Joel is still the main character it'd still be a lot of fun to continue this fantastic adventure. There's clearly a lot of story left to tell, and I definitely would love to play a sequel and enjoy more of it!

I played it through part way going with Roche, but I didnt like that you had to side with the bad guy in the next chapter, so I went back and sided with the other fellow, even though I didn't really want to, because it meant I got to side with Saskia in the next chapter. In the end, I too went and saved Triss, but I saved the girl from the portal, and then I saved Saskia as well. I think they explained that ending poorly, you arent the first person to make that mistake, I read at least one other comment like yours, but the fact is that killing her isnt 'putting her out of her misery' its just killing her, if you dont kill her she lives, flies away and is fine, but you don't know that unless you actually let her go, the way the decision is worded it does kind've mislead you into thinking she's likely going to die no matter what you do, and that isn't the case. She flies away, and (at least in my version) she and the girl I saved from the portal rule and defend their newly-freed nation together and live happily ever after.

So the bottom line for me is, save Triss, support Saskia every chance I get (would've likely picked her over Triss if she'd been an LI, she was so awesome, of course Triss was awesome too, but Saskia was the tops), which means having to side with Iorveth even though I'd really rather side with Roche, and the rest of the decisions arent nearly as important, but I'm going to save lives whenever possible.
