** From the books (at least the English translation) it seems fairly explicit that The White Frost is meant to be a prophesied natural ice age, not a supernatural world-destroying entity. Nimue references the slow cooling of the climate in Kovir and Poviss as evidence for this claim and theorizes it will still take around 3,000 years from her era for The Continent to actually be covered by glaciers. Ciri's supposed ability to stop the White Frost is implied more to be her power over time allowing her to manipulate events such that this ice age is delayed or permanently halted (and the books imply she did not do this by Nimue's time). Whether that is the author's intent or just what people in Nimue's time have come to accept as the standard interpretation of the prophecy I can't say for sure (although I lean towards Sapkowski intending Nimue's theory to be correct). It appears that CDPR slightly changed the interpretation for the games so that the White Frost is an actual supernatural threat invading worlds across the multiverse, thus allowing Ciri to confront and defeat the White Frost and no longer being burdened with the Destiny that has haunted her her entire life. For what it's worth, the games also completely omit (with good reason) the prophecies that Ciri's offspring will be the most powerful mage ever born etc etc which is more generally why most people (including the Aen Elle and Emyhr) are chasing her the entire book series rather than because of her own specific powers. In truth, there's nothing that makes this change invalidate Nimue's timeline either. No one aside from a very small handful of people know that The White Frost entity existed, or that Ciri successfully stopped it. Thus, hundreds of years later it would be perfectly logical for people like Nimue to assign a natural explanation for a prophecy that, as far as she knows, was never fulfilled and is thus just sorta hanging out there waiting for an explanation.

* During the Sabbath, multiple Velen citizens tell Geralt and Ciri that the three young people who go visit the Crones always return, in some way "better" than they were before. However, when you actually enter Bald Mountain the Crones are feasting on the few who were allowed to enter. What's going on here?

** I think she mainly saved the orphans as part of the deal with Geralt and maybe partly to hurt the crones, not out of the goodness of her heart at least.

* Tying in with the above point about how only a higher vampire can put another down for good, [[spoiler: why would Regis need to paint a target on his back by actually killing Detlaff]], considering they had a perfectly good vampire prison that they know still works right below them? The Doylist reason is that no ending can be absolutely perfect, but with that DLC rewarding looking for a third option and showing compassion, it seems out of place.
