This guy reminds me of real world spooks who get out of the business, still work in the espionage world from the shadows, and then eventually through power and influence become real leaders in the political world, moving from pawn to player. Like KGB agents in the 90s becoming minor crime lords, or mayors or governors and whatnot. Except with Dikstra, he's very progressive and forward thinking. Like he might be a dick but it's only because he's wildly intelligent and salty, and hates casual slaughter of mages and non-humans. He wants consolidation of the north, with resources being put into industry and commerce to build up the land again. Radovid's fall into madness was kind of disappointing. Like he was a total stud at the end of TW2, then turns into a nutball. My Geralt could bro out with Roche because they were in some shit together but his dealings with Nilfgaard are highly suspect. Like wtf. He's just as intelligent as Sigi but I think his passion for Temeria is his weakness, it eventually leads him to wanting Temeria as a puppet state. Vassal state my ass. Anyone in Velen would see how Nilfgaardian officers treat the locals. That being said, it was still not wise for Sigi to put Geralt into a situation like that....and probably very OOC of him too. Like is he fooling himself into thinking Geralt wouldn't respond? Granted Geralt is poltically neutral but he's with Roche, Ves and Thaler drinking after the fight. Another example of the developers falling through on certain characters.
