In this thread we discuss why Nilfgaard world domination is the sensible choice.
The Men of Milfgaard were cast as bad guys in previous games. But this time around they come off as level-headed and reasonable compared to the dumbfucks in Velen, Radovid, the Bitchhunters, the partisans... Everyone, really.
- They keep their word. enter a contest with a nilfgaardian and win (eg. the horse race in Novigaard), he'll not only pay the agreed prize with no attempts at double-crossing. He'll congratulate you on a job well done.
- They treat Twitch3rs with respect. You don't see Nilfgaardians spitting at you when you walk past or calling you a damn mutant. The closest you get is "White One", and they make it sound more like a title worthy of respect.
- Nilfgaardians hang people for rape and banditry. Radovid hangs people for peddling herbs.
- The Nilfgaard captain in White Orchard is supposed to be a "bad guy" for whipping the Earldorman. But he only did it after the Earldorman tried to poison his men with rotten food. If that had been a Temerian captain, the Earldorman would've been beheaded. And that was on top of the Nilfgaard captain asking how much the village could reasonably spare, then asking for less in the first cutscene. We all know Temerians would've said "We need all of it for our men, not negotiable".
- As soon as order breaks down, Temerian soldiers turn to banditry and rape. When a Nilfgaardian soldier deserts, he hauls a former enemy to safety from the ghouls.
In closing: Nilfgaard isn't evil. They're firmly lawful neutral. Temeria is chaotic dumbfuckery. Radovid is neutral evil. Novigraad is paranoid jewish. I for one welcome our new Milfgaardian overlords.
