The player's choices can lead to several different endings. If Ciri survives after defeating the White Frost and Geralt took her to meet her father, she will become the Empress of Nilfgaard. If Ciri survives but did not meet the emperor, Geralt helps her fake her death, and she becomes a witcher.
The most efficient way to sell items for their full price or at least at a greater value is by selling an item to its applicable merchant.
And as for Geralt, it doesn't really matter which mask you should wear to the ball, you can choose whichever you feel that matches his outfit. And wearing a mask is only used as a key item, and it doesn't add any value or changes to Geralt's stats.

Each set of Witcher Gear comes in 5 tiers ranging from the default tier to Grandmaster. Set bonuses will only activate at the Grandmaster tier of gear.

Starting a New Game + gives you access to the Legendary version of the Witcher Gear, which then in itself has the same 5 tiers.
The game world received widespread praise from critics. Kimberly Wallace of Game Informer called it "immersive", and was impressed by its attention to detail.[108] Destructoid's Chris Carter praised its size, which he found enormous and would take players hours to explore.[107] Jonathon Leack, writing for Game Revolution, praised the game's effective use of its large world. Leack wrote that every region had quests and activities for players to try, although he thought that much was filler which extended its length.

Roach isn't the only way to travel quickly around the world. You can also find signposts at villages, towns, points of interest, and just generally scattered around the Continent. These signposts act as waypoints, allowing you to fast travel between them when The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt interacting with one.
Its narrative received critical acclaim. Carter praised the cast of characters, which he called unique and interesting. He considered the narrative more involving, with players witnessing key events and making consequential choices.[107] Wallace praised the game's dialogue and its side-quests; each was similar to a short story, and player decisions in the quests would influence the state of the world. She liked the main quest, which added more character to Geralt, and said that the romance options were a significant improvement over its predecessors. However, she was disappointed with the quality of the game's endings.[108] Kevin Van Ord of GameSpot echoed Wallace, noting that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt's story had more characterisation for Geralt than the previous games.
