What is the default world state in Witcher 3, regarding decisions from Witcher 2?
At the start of The Witcher 3 - The Wild Hunt you can either
- import a savegame (PC only)
- select the decisions you made in Witcher 2 (Simulate Witcher 2 Decisions)
- skip the whole import of decisions
If you chose to select the decisions (or import a savegame) there are 5 major decisions which will have some kind of impact on the game.

These decisions depend on if you:
- killed or spared Aryan LaValette
- sided with Iorveth or Roche
- saved Triss or saved Saskia/Anais
- saved Sile de Tancarville or let her die
- killed or spared Letho
If you chose not to import any of your decisions, what will be the (supposedly default/canon) world-state regarding these decisions?
Just to clarify things: I'm not asking about the actual impact of decisions, I just want to know, what the game assumes on default if you don't import any decisions.
Best Answer
After researching on the web for a good hour I stumbled across some of the answers and I will collect them here:
- Aryan LaVlette was killed
- Sided with Roche at the end of chapter 1
- unknown :/ this is the only point that I couldn't find
- Sile de Tancarville is dead
- Letho was killed
If I find the answer to 3 I will update this answer. This is completely based on a lot of forum posts and some people who played through the default world state.

Do Witcher 2 decisions carry over?
Nothing from the original Witcher game carries over. Witcher 2's save import didn't actually make a lot of difference in your gameplay.Does Witcher 2 affect Witcher 3?
If you play The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt on the PC, you may import your Witcher 2 save files so that the third game in this role-playing trilogy reflects the major decisions you made in the previous adventure.Do your decisions matter in Witcher 3?
Choices do matter in this game. Even decisions regarding whether or not to kill certain monster can come back to bite Geralt later in during a quest where some monsters have gathered to hold him and other witchers accountable for their actions.Major Witcher 2 Decisions that Affect The Witcher 3
