Hopefully. I stopped my second playthrough, and started trying to 100% Arkham Knight just to waste time until NG+ comes out.
Relax dude.

Oh man, what a sequence of events! Finished the
. Some strong emotions there. But felt good to
. The piece of shit.
Gained 4 levels during that; level 29 now. A couple more and I'll have mastercrafted gear. Time to finish off the left over quests, treasure hunts, contracts etc. Going to prolong the inevitable for as long as possible. I don't want this to end.
battle at Kaer Morhen
kill Imlerith after

So I just finished the game and this is what I got.
Happy with what I got,
Radovid won and killed everything non-human.
Ehmyr died
Skellige does well, Cerys is a good king.
Ciri chose the life of a witcher, she lived
Geralt and Yen lived together.

The Radovid bit was weird though. I never got to complete his assassination mission for some reason while I did all his quests as far as I can tell. Plus, I wanted to kill the guy. I vaguely remember doing a quest and some guy said they were gonna do it, guess not then

except for Radovid. I think I botched it up when I broke Dijkstra's leg

I got the exact same ending.
The Radovid situation is a real bummer. I didn't realize I had to take care of that before I sailed off for Ciri. Some of my best friends are elves, dwarves and sorceresses.
Lied about her to Radovid, I did break Dijkstra's leg. I didn't think I'd be that forceful, I thought I would just shove him or something.
Oh well, choices and consequences I guess.
And rightly so.
What a dickish move that was. Breaking the poor guys leg.

So I just finished the (Act 3 Side Quest)
My thoughts:
Still better side quest than anything in most RPGs however.
Radovid Assassination Quest
My thoughts:
It was great to finally see Radovid die but I felt the end of the quest was very rushed. Dijkstra pretty much goes completely out of character and believes he can either kill Geralt or that Geralt would simply walk away when he flat out says he's going to murder Roche, Ves, and Thaler. Dijkstra had it coming as well but I seriously doubt it would go down the way it did. There should have been another quest after where Dijkstra betrays everyone off screen and you can either kill him, side with him, or try to settle things the best you can.

Yup, that part really bothered me since
Dijkstra
Dijkstra
Roche
Ves
at Kaer Morhen
Overall, the entire sequence was very poorly handled.
Terra_Ex

Agreed, the way they handled (major Dijkstra spoilers)
Dijkstra there just felt rushed and totally out of character for him. Added to the fact that for a lot of people Dijkstra will have refused to support Geralt in Kaer Morhen due to the dependency of Triss' torture, while Roche and Ves do come to his aid. It was hardly the best time to try and off them with a group of generic goons while Geralt is standing right there, especially with the quest occurring so soon after Kaer Morhen. Pretty much my biggest issue with the game really, they squandered Dijkstra's potential with the ending to that quest. Unfortunate as he's one of my favourites from the books and that really came across up to that point in the game. But this is CDPR, they may improve it in a crazy enhanced edition in the future I guess. Doubly bizarre when you consider how that quest beings - Dijkstra knows Geralt well enough to push his buttons and use potential witch hunts against Triss/Yen as leverage to get him to agree to help take out Radovid.

Question: I found Triss ring in (Act 2 spoiler)
but I still haven't had a chance to give it back to her. Any idea when or if I can? I'm in Act 3 now

What's wrong with Triss? I haven't finished the game yet but I am close.

Players who went with Triss are disappointed by the lack of Triss content / dialogue in the later parts of the game. Even if you romance her, she doesn't really have a lot to say or do after you've finished her questline. After that, she's basically just kinda ... there and nothing more. This is also in stark contrast to Yen who comparatively gets a lot more "screen time" in acts 2 & 3.
I'm not bothered by it, because I'm on Team Yen anyway, but I can see where they're coming from.

I really can't bring myself to do another playthrough knowing there's a chance for a new game+ to come out sooner or later. I'd rather not hunt for those alchemy/crafting ingredients & alchemy and witcher gear upgrades again. I just want to focus on the quests and ignore most loot.

A little advise that can completely change the feel of the game.
Try turning off the minimap. It's pretty annoying when actively doing quests since you have to go into the map everytime if you want directions, but when just walking around, taking all the graphical wonder, then it makes all the difference.
Really gives you an actual sense of exploration since you don't have little map basically telling you where you are at everytime and where you should go.
Try it out!

I was like 33 or something when I did all that stuff. How come you're 31?

IDK, maybe you did more side stuff than me? I've mostly just been playing the main story for the second half of the game
Am I underleveled?
Damnit. I romanced her and rejected Yenn. That's very disappointing
Yeah, I wish I could've sided with (B)Roche without
having to kill Dijkstra - fight him, okay, but they should have ended the fight with him relenting and just sticking to his bath house or something instead of trying to rule Novigrad

One huge issue I had was right near the end of the game she has literally zero dialogue options. You cant even talk to her but you can talk to everyone else. >.< It sticks out like a sore thumb and I'm surprised they let it ship that way.

Are there any enemies that are level 35+ or so in the world? I defeated the ??
on one of the isolated Skellige islands that was guarding a treasure. Was pretty tough.

Yeah you should have a chance in Act 3. Once you've done
Triss' part of the Novigrad stuff, you'll find her in a room on the first floor of the Chameleon.

You could say the same for Lambert though. As characters they're not dissimilar either, I could easily envisage Lambert
reacting the same way. In which case I would have put his arse down too.

You'll also find some high level Elementals and Cyclops, but there are tedious more than difficult.
Finally there are some infinitely respawning group of level 26 foglets provided you didn't do the
bald mountain
Generally the "harder" enemies are at the edge of the maps

I doubt it but in case I missed something, are there more ways to interact with Ves other than quests involving Roche ?
Chick seems interesting, but she's pretty much mute and apparently doesn't give a crap about Geralt.

I just punched the air by hitting the wrong button and an adjacent NPC yelled "rape!"
I am not sure how I feel about this.

I've started my second playthrough this time on Death March. I won't be binging on this one, probably do it slowly with a couple hours here and there and waiting for the expansion packs to come out.

If you go into your inventory there should be a player stats option that will show you playtime
