Radovid victory is canon geralt dont help kill kings

[Dorfo]

Geralt from the books would never tell Sig Reuven anything about Ciri he would definitely break Sig Reuven's leg to get him out of his way that's very Geralt of Rivia he has no love for North or South he is worried about saving Ciri . ♥♥♥♥ politics

When Nilfgaard wins, Northern Realms don't exist anymore. That is why I prefer when Radovid wins.

Thats not true at all. Temeria becomes a Empire vassal state under it's own administration if Radovid and Sigi are killed. Like Toussaint. Where Radovid and Sigi/Dykstra both annex the north into one Redania.

Of course I know it but I don't care becasue Temeria isn't free.


Nilfgaard wins = RIP Northern Realms
Redania wins (Radovid V) = RIP nonhumans
Redania wins (Dijsktra) = RIP Vernon Roche, Thaler, Ves

The Northern realms are gone either way, except for Kovir. Nilfgaard at least allows Temeria to keep their culture and colors. They would be as free as Toussaint. IMO Nilfgaard with Empress Ciri and dead Radovid is best politics ending for Temeria, second best is Nilfgaard with Emhyr, Third best is Redania led by Sigi, and the absolute worst is to leave insane Radovid in charge.

Interesting discussion here boys. I haven't done Empress Ciri yet but I might do it in this playthrough. Question: Doesn't this make Empress Ciri a really good ending? Ciri relaxes tension in the north, then you betray Roche for Djikstra and reset the board? A strong redania that doesn't ♥♥♥♥ over nonhumans, a dead temeria, and a sympathetic empress on the throne?

ciri doesn't want to be empress she hates it when you arrived at the audience with emyher didn't you see the picture with her angry face? emyher wanted to make a child in ciri wanted to use her in their plans emyher is a monster in the books people like to sympathize with nilfgaard emyher tried to kill geralt and yenefer in the books used scoitael the elves in his plans and then abandoned them in certain death

"only fools never change their opinion"
People are always evolving, might as well be true for fictive characters.
In ciri's case: what despises her at the beginning (empress, the throne...) somehow seems to be the right thing to do at the end of the story.
Ciri has also learned about responsibilities that come with her talents througout the story. She has accepted that she always will be different. And that the witchers path just isn't her fate.
In the end, she chose to do that what brings the most benefits to the people, because righteousness is what drives her.

Geralt on many occasions talks about not killing monsters that aren't a threat. On nearly as many occasions he says the worst monsters he's met are in fact humans.

Radovid is a monster. While "keeping his hands clean" by participating semi-indirectly, I don't see Geralt helping assassinate Radovid as non-canonical at all.

[Valden21]

Radovid's actions has made it very clear that he's after two things: power, and the eradication of magic. He counts non-humans as magic, so if he wins, three of the people Geralt cares about most are in danger: Triss, Yenn, and Zoltan. That alone is gonna make Geralt act.

Here's the thing about Radovid: he's crazy, and he fanatically believes that he's in the right. Yet he condones the torture and killing of anybody his witch hunters suspect of being magical, and he's given them a ludicrously broad definition of what it means to be "magical". Judging by the propaganda posters all over Novigrad, there's even a personality cult about him. IRL history has shown multiple times that the combination of insanity, fanaticism, absolute political power, and a personality cult is never a good thing. Both Radovid and Emhyr are evil, but Radovid's delusional about it; Emhyr's willing to admit to being evil.

This is canon, gwent confirmed that Radovid wins the war, unites the north and the witch hunt ends a few years later, just as it is written in the books
