"Tactical genius" is a cop out when it's never shown, all I saw was convoluted bs that CDP did in TW3. On the other hand, Dijkstra is one of the two that kept a province from falling into complete chaos, survived an assassination attempt from Philippa (which unlike the games, WAS competent) , was able to survive Thanned and was ruling the Novigrad underworld with ease for years. We have hard evidence this guy is smart and capable. We don't with Radovid, because I saw nothing that was not total bs to back up the "tactical genius"

The lack of explanations falls into the telling, not showing issue that is rampent with the politics in TW3, but it's not hard to believe a guy like Dijkstra could pull it off, more so when Emyhr is already in hot water back at home.

Key word, your choices. The only thing he does out of his own violation before TW3 was order Philippa's eyes taken out.

It's pretty obvious that all 3 rulers (Radovid, Dijkstra and Emhyr) are vastly incompetent in the games.

Personally I went for supporting Emhyr, because Charles Dance and because Roche is my buddy.

I would have supported Dijkstra if the pleb didn't force Geralt to walk away while he's about to slaughter his bud Roche. Seriously, what the hell was Dijkstra thinking, that Geralt would favor "witcher neutrality" over friendships? Brother, that "witcher neutrality" went out of the window as soon as Geralt decided to assist in killing Radovid. *smh*

Radovid must be a powerful mage, since he has the ability to move whole armies through mountains in matter of weeks. Impressive!

But yeah, the writing is so bad it hurts. And I liked how they even used strategy and tactics interchangeably.

lmfao

Yet Hannibal is a much more impressive character than the joke that is TW3 Radovid.

Well that's a given. Radovid is OP and OP characters are awful. 

Though I blame Ciri for Radovid's character assassination. I blame Ciri for basically everything that is shit about the Witcherverse though. 

Well CDPR was right that TW3 is the best entry point to the franchise.

Because the game ignores the two previous games altogether, haha!

Instead of getting many different versions of Radovid that spawn depending on your ending, we get the worst possible ending fro him with bullshit writing and going full over the top that now happens all the itme. Saved Triss and Radovid learns humility from mages? LOL GONE. Give Anaise and him and Hanselt work together? lol gone.Only way Radovid works even if slighty (butt he overtopness of it ruins it) if you save Saskia but then a whole new issue crops up.
