KILL ARYAN: La Vallete Castle becomes Nilfgaardian, surrendered by Mary Louisa La Vallete.
Chapter I
Chapter 1

HELP ROCHE: Iorveth is captured and a festival occurs in Flotsam. Margot dies. Derae lives.

CHOOSE IORVETH: Abandons the Temerian cause for the Pontar Valley. Dethmold is now guaranteed to die. Unlocks SAVE MOTTLE/PURSUE LOREDO
CHOOSE ROCHE: Abandon nonhumans for the Temerian cause.

SAVE MOTTLE: Save the elves from the tower to get sexytime with Mottle later on, and earn Iorveth's gratitude. Loredo sells Flotsam to Kaedwen.
PURSUE LOREDO: Chase Loredo into the town square and butcher him. Mottle and her friends die and Iorveth is bitter. Loredo perishes and Flotsam stays Temerian.

Chapter II
Chapter 2

Iorveth Path

SPARE STENNIS: Stennis never faces justice and become King Stennis I of Aedirn, stabilizing the country and opposing Saskia's Pontar.
LYNCH STENNIS: Stennis dies, Aedirn collapses into anarchy, but Saskia's new nation is unopposed.

Roche Path

KILL HENSELT: The Blue Stripes get vengeance, but Kaedwen collapses into chaos, like Temeria.
SPARE HENSELT: Roche is bitter, but Geralt gives him a bro pep talk and Kaedwen stays a strong Northern realm under the cured Henselt.

Chapter III
Chapter 3

SAVE TRISS (Iorveth): The Nilfgaardian plot is destroyed, with the death of Renuald, Shilard and their entire party. The Council and Conclave is successfully restored, assuring a strong Northern network of magic users. Temeria is partitioned or dissolved. Iorveth is horribly wounded.
GO WITH PHILIPPA: The Nilfgaardians start a witch hunt and all mages are implicated. However, Saskia established her authority as an unopposed Queen of a free realm in the Pontar Valley. Iorveth is Geralt's best bud, and Triss survives anyways.

SAVE TRISS (Roche): The Nilfgaardian plot is destroyed, with the death of Renuald, Shilard and their entire party. The Council and Conclave is successfully restored, assuring a strong Northern network of magic users. Temeria is partitioned or dissolved. Dethmold escapes, Roche takes Anais into exile.
SAVE ANAIS: The Nilfgaardians start a witch hunt and all mages are implicated. Roche and Geralt are bros. Triss survives anyways. Dethmold dies horribly. Unlocks GIVE ANAIS TO RADOVID/GIVE ANAIS TO NATALIS

GIVE ANAIS TO RADOVID: Radovid takes Temeria, either fully or partially depending on Henselt's status. He claims he is merely holding it as a protectorate, but it essentially becomes part of his dominion, and Anais will likely never be Queen. Roche takes up the Redanian Red.
GIVE ANAIS TO NATALIS: Temeria survives independently, Anais aspires to be a Warrior Queen, and all Temeria, from Vizima to La Vallete Castle bows down to her. Roche remains a Blue Stripe.

SAVE SILE: Sile tells you Yennefer's location and departs. The Lodge retains a strong member.
LET SILE DIE: Sile dies horribly and the Lodge is terribly crippled.

SPARE SASKIA (Iorveth-Save Triss): The Lodge is strengthened, able to retain control over Saskia, with the fleeting hope of using the dagger Iorveth acquired at some future point. The realm of the Pontar Valley retains its leader, despite being influenced by the Lodge.
KILL SASKIA (Iorveth-Save Triss): The Lodge's plans are utterly wrecked, their trump card destroyed forever. However, the last dragon in the world is likely dead, and the Pontar Valley lacks a leader.
DISENCHANT SASKIA (Iorveth-Go With Philippa): Saskia is freed of the spell, the Lodge's plans ruined and their captive unshackled. The Pontar Valley stays strong and is truly free of outside control. Geralt earns the gratitude of Saskia and Iorveth alike.

SPARE DRAGON (Roche-All): The Lodge retains its weapon, whose sole purpose is to serve their bidding as a weapon of destruction given the fall of Vergen.
KILL DRAGON (Roche-All): The Lodge loses its weapon, and Kaedwen need not fear a counterattack by a vengeful Saskia on its newly conquered Lormark.

Epilogue
SPARE LETHO: Foltest gets no justice and Geralt breaks his promise to Roche. The School of the Viper may spring up as a powerful tool against the Wild Hunt, or Nilfgaard may try to use Letho more in the future. Letho and Geralt settle their debt of friendship and blood.

KILL LETHO: Geralt disregards Letho's perspective and delivers bloody justice for Foltest and keeps his oath to Roche. The School of the Viper is likely doomed and Nilfgaard loses a potential pawn.

Pick anything you want, but if you playing witcher 2 for witcher 3, always pick SPARE LETHO. You will be excited one day. You welcome.

There is no best ending, every choice has good and bad side. Just go with what you think is right. I recommend to use this guide for your second playthrough or if you don't care about spoilers see what choice makes more sense for you to follow.

Thank you, this was very helpful.

Remember in a crapsack world like Witcher, whats seems like the best or most sympathetic or nicest option usually results in the worst outcome. One example is saving Mottle on the Iorveth path. It seems nice... until it becomes clear that leaving Loredo alive will just cause more nonhumans to be persecuted over time.

man fuck I made the worst decisions

Thanks for the guide, it's good to know how events would've unfolded if I made different decisions, and by the looks of it the outcome I got is the worst for both Temeria and the north in general. God damn it Geralt!

I've only played through the game once and I am almost sorry I read this. Very thorough.
