If you've read books or played «The Witcher Tales», you know how cruelly Nilfgaard treats civilians. They burn villages, take away everything possible from the occupied territories: the inventory of workshops and manufactories, livestock, crops, and brutally kill even those who pose no threat to them. Nilfgaardians had direct orders to terrorize the local population in order to cause panic among them and disorient the troops of the Northern Kingdoms. They also use the inhabitants of the north, whom they contemptuously call "barbarians", as slaves. I mean, the White Orchard looks good solely due to the agreement with Emhyr, according to which Temeria voluntarily becomes a vassal of the empire. And as for the other kingdoms that resisted capture (Redania, for example), the situation there is just as terrible as I described. Emhyr is obsessed with aggressive expansion. People should not draw conclusions about the fate of the continent based solely on what the White Orchard looks like.

I think you have mistaken II Northern war (from the books, where what you described happened) with the III Northern war (from the games). The second war, which atrocities you described, ended in the books with peace treaty in Cintra. In the third war, which is waging at the time the game is set, Nilfgaard was more humane from the start to decrease number of rebels and freedom fighters in the conquered territories, the ''Vassal Temeria'' was later idea.

@@jakubmichalak5987 No, I am aware that the Second Northern War ended with the victory of the Northern Kingdoms in the books. I wrote about this to tell people about the methods that Nilfgaard uses when conducting expansion. The Nilfgaardians may be more humane specifically towards Temeria, but this is still cruel, given that they flaunt hanged people and say phrases in which they express their contempt for the locals and make an attempt to show superiority over them. Nilfgaard's more restrained behavior in Temeria can be explained by the fact that Emhyr hoped to negotiate with the local aristocracy (he had already concluded an agreement with Maravel in The Witcher 2). I emphasize again that the fact that Temeria looks good after becoming a vassal of the empire does not prove that the rest of the north will look the same. On the contrary, most likely, the methods remained as cruel as in the previous war, because in it, by committing atrocities, the Nilfgaardians avenged the defeat at the Battle of Sodden, and now they want to avenge the defeat at the Battle of Brenna in the same way. As an example from real history, Vichy France can be cited, which also escaped many Nazi atrocities during World War II due to cooperation with Germany, but this did not affect the heinous crimes of the Nazis in other countries.

Djikstra should on paper be the best option, with the North's culture preserved but without all the superstitioun and impediments to advance of Radovid's time (Witch hunts, pogroms, etc). However, to get here, Geralt'd have to involve himself in politics - which he doesn't like - and allow Djikstra to kill Roche and his people. Roche had helped Geralt in the 2nd game immensely, and canonically Geralt went with him through Kaedwen's camp, into Vergen, then Loc Muinne. I don't see Geralt ever leaving Roche, who would have provided help even if Geralt had gone with Iorveth (saved from Nilfgaardians). Nilfgaard's the 2nd best option, especially with Ciri at the head. It's also the canonical ending in the books, Nilfgaard does win. Radovid's the worst for the superstitious hatred towards elves, mages and herbalists continues. I don't think Geralt'd ever let this fly, though, and may involve himself in dethroning Radovid (it would be unsafe to have a huge part of the worldlocked down to him and Yennefer, who'd likely see prosecution. And himself as a witcher). The only thing I hate about killing Radovid is how Geralt can't push Djikstra aside in that one quest when he pokes his nose in matters completely unrelated to these politics. Matter of State was horribly rushed. Thanks for the showcase.
@agamemnonofmycenae5258

You are wrong. Geralt's choice in the first game was more likely him going with Ioverth than Roche. If Geralt gave the sword back to Ioverth, then Ioverth was free and was going to leave immediately. Roche would have Geralt do some extra questing, something Geralt would not have time for, since he was worried about Triss. Considering the choice of Geralt giving the sword back to Ioverth, I think there's 65-35 chance of him arming Ioverth(since he has no personal beef with him or Sqoia'tael. That means that Roche's relationship with Geralt wouldn't be as stellar, but he would still refuse to let him and Ves be killed by Dijkstra, if he even got involved in the first place. I doubt that he would be involved in political schemes to the extent the game wants us(especially since he would be prioritising ciri above all else at the cutoff point), so Radovid's Redania ending is all but guaranteed.

@@agamemnonofmycenae5258 It's not what would be or could be. If you don't import a save, I think Roche's path is taken as canon. And it makes sense, Iorveth and the Squirrels (who I liked much more, even though Roche is great himself) didn't appear in the 3rd game like, at all. Some trivialities. Tbh Djikstra does give Geralt a good reason to join, as in, pointing out how bad Redania'd be a bad place for Witchers if he just let Radovid stay in power. Good point on Geralt giving Iorveth back his sword but I think he'd still really choose Roche, the guy who helped him break out of prison. Ideologically, I think he'd still appreciate the Scoia'tel more. And funnily enough on Roche's path you get to kill even more humans, Kaedwenis, later Nilfgaardians than you do on Iorveth's path.

honesly, I never understood this. The game tried to paint it like both sides are two sides of the same coin (especially if you read all the books and notes). That Radovid and Emhyr are both eaquily bad. But then if Emhyr wins, we're shown how better everything is. Even tho based on the whole game, it doesn't make any sense. Temeria a vassal state would have to go by Nifgaardian rules. That means slavery and other strict rules. Not to mention they would be looked at as something lesser. Nilfgaard would most likely enforce their beliefs onto them, erasing any of their culture that they would deem problematic or unfit with their own.

You realize that Nilfgaard is inspired by the Soviet propaganda version of Nazi Germany. I.E. they're 10 times worse than actual Nazi Germany, and the norm for them is genocide and slavery.

Radovid at his most schizo would still be a better option for the people of the North.
