Hickory: It was not misleading, because (I will say it again) I was only providing Ciri survival information. The rest was/is irrelevant.
It was misleading because you included unnecessary information with misleading omissions (you included branching information that wasn't necessary and omitted details). I simply clarified those omitted details in 5th choice (even multiple times now in this thread), but you simply started to nitpick (adding nothing to the discussion).
heck... i'll even provide you an example...
1 - Go with Ciri to Skjall's grave
2 - During final preparations, allow Ciri to go to speak with the Lodge
3 - After Vessemir dies, cheer Ciri up with a snowball fight
4 - In Avallach's lab, encourage Ciri ("Go for it") to destroy it, to vent her anger
5 - In conversation with Ciri, there is an option to mention that the Emperor wishes to see her:
Choose to go with her, but do not take the bounty offered
Pursuade Ciri not to go
here you go (you said it yourself)...

almost copy of your original post, no irrelevant/unnecessary information (not pertaining to Ciris survival), no ommisions.
But even then it's not complete because you can ignore choice 5 completely (go straight to Velen) it will still count towards survival kinda (because Witcher path needs 2 out of 4 choices and Empress path needs 3 out of 5 for Ciri to survive).
Choice 5 plays a role in survival only if you choose to go to Vizima!!!
