Talk:Radovid V/@comment-128.106.128.142-20180824081054

I admired Radovid so much during TW2, especially when he gave the speech about how Eilhart humiliated him in Tretogor then ask her to submit to him before taking her eyes. I played all possible paths of TW2 and he was shown to be exceptionally brilliant and practical, playing all the other kings for fools. At one point he bluntly told geralt he had nothing against him but would lock him up for the duration of the summit to prevent unforeseen factor.

But even then it did not escape me, that Radovid intended to massacre the mages from the start, using the order of eternal flame. Geralt verbally noted they were camped outside of the city in an unofficial capacity for ulterior motives and Radovid himself admired Loc Muinne in flames, while giving a comment that he was resposible for it.

At first I rescued Saskia but seeing all the mages brutally beheaded and impaled I saved triss instead, and what do you know? Mages got massacred by the order anyway. Almost as if someone fear the mage's influences and planned it to weakened them.

But you know what, all these chain of events were not started by radovid, the lodge of sorceresses or even letho, it was all because of emyhr's ambitions to conquer the north.

And I was ready to help Radovid kick emyhr ass when I loaded up Witcher 3.

But then I saw nilfgard-occupied white orchard, where the soldier did try to help the people to some extent.

And then fking Novigrad, Felicia Cori and the doppler being burnt, witch hunters talking about torturing and raping witches.

So I started thinking Nilfgaard ruling the north won't be that bad right?

Then I went and saw a picture of what happened to Keira Metz if you let her go to Radovid, I made sure to get him killed first chance I got.

We don't have the luxury of choosing between good and evil.

But for the sake of everyone living the Northern Realms, living under a ruthless emyhr is infinitely better than living under a sadistic radovid.
