if you chose the empress ending, you should know that geralt, yennefer or emhyr does not have any part in her choosing to be an enpress. she says that it is her own decision, emhyr simply offered the possibility. she says, this way she can make a larger impact in doing good as being a witcher alone would not be enough (she was infuriated after the audience and i think it is because she was angry why is it now and only now that she is given this option). neither geralt nor yen knew that she accepted the empress title until the royal escort appeared in front of the inn (so you could not say that by choosing this ending, you are taking away her freedom. it's actually quite the opposite as if you'd chosen not to meet emhyr, you would have chosen to elliminate the possibility. she as well, if she really wants to be a witcher full-time, can just turn it down). also, comparing the cues from both good endings: in the empress ending, you appear at the inn with your friends dandelion and zoltan having a good time waiting for dinner from the rabbit hunt. you get to meet a returning temerian soldier, a guy who says you have cleared all the monsters in the orchard before and then the gay hunter boi mislav who gave some hunting tools for ciri to use. looking at the interactions, you see that ciri is actually free in this state, they have the run at the inn, mislav even knows her tendencies already. in the witcher ending, we have geralt lying to the emperor (a grave act when found out), then we have the dwarves referencing gaunter, the silver swordsmith, and finally a hooded ciri because they don't want anyone finding out the lie. she is basically going to be in hiding, while taking on contracts at the same time. she will be a witcher of course (it's all she wanted as a child), but only because she did not have the option to be empress. i have more examples, but i gotta get some crowns for the gm wolf gear, the clipping on the ursine is just hideous.
