    The best part of it is when the peasant gives him rancid tribute, he also does not execute him but just has him whipped. Harsh and most players see this as him really being a bad guy. But other military governors would most likely give capital punishment for this crime, where he only gives corporal punishment.

    They are negotiating. Let me make it clearer. Soldier: Reveal to me how much grain you have. Peasant: No, you reveal how much you need. Excellency. Soldier: I am not nobility. I am a working peasant just like you. Tell me how much grain you have, equal to equal. Peasant: Reveals he has 40 bushels. Soldier: Takes 30 bushels, and a favor for later. They are both attempting to make the other side open the negotiation with a number. If the garrison commander asks for 20 bushels, the farmer can agree right there and then. If he asks for 60, he can then counter by saying he can only give 40. The Commander likely has preferences as well. There is a minimum amount of produce he needs, which may be 20 bushels. But he likely prefers 30. So he gets the farmer to offer 40. He can then drop it to 30 as a 'favor' to the farmer and his village which he can collect on at a later time. The farmer is not free to just offer 10 bushels. Because any amount bellow the minimum required by the garrison, would just bring the garrison to the village. The farmer cannot offer 100 bushels, because then the commander would just accept 60 and the implied favor would now be worth 40 bushels.

    That is exactly what would normally happen. In fact, a lot of the time, peasants would give a conservative estimate and because the lords would know this, they'd ask for more than the peasants said they could get. Which of course also meant that when people gave accurate predictions it was impossible for them to make enough and they would quickly go into debt.

    First he speaks to the man as an equal, second he allows him to keep 10 bushels (likely to feed himself/family), and when the received bushels are found to be rancid he has the man simply flogged instead of executed (as would've been the likely punishment at the time). Even the flogging was a mercy as despite being "in-charge" his actions/decisions are likely watched and reported on to the higher-ups. So to NOT punish someone who potentially could be trying to sabotage or undermine the occupation, would likely have seen the commander replaced by someone who would've just had the farmer hanged and called it a day.

    One of my favourite early scenes is in the inn where the Temeraian peasants argue about the coat of arms hanging in the inn and later concludes in a bar fight where Geralt and Vesamir have to slaughter half of the inn.

    There are notable historical examples of benevolent rulers.

There are examples of benevolent and good rulers throughout history. The problem with monarchies is that when you get a good ruler, it's great. If you get a bad one though . . . well . . . we've seen how that plays out. I know it's partially a joke, but I figure it's good to note that not all ancient or medieval rulership was unkind or unjust.

    If I recall correctly (and my mind is quite fuzzy on this) the conquers were the 'good guys' over all. The place they were invading was very racist and if you side with the defenders they later start a genocide against elves eventually. On the other hand the empire had a policy of mostly gentle assimilation of all people and races. They even returned a historically elven city to the elves. They still did things we'd not look on favorably today though.

People try to play it off as "Both sides equally bad" but if you're actually trying to do the most good you can for the most people then Nilfgaard under Ciri (or her Father) is the best option. it ends with the most people alive, the most people being treated fairly/somewhat equally, the least amount of discrimination, the most economic benefit and even has one of the former governments in the region restored to power as a vassal state to Nilfgaard.

Leave enough for the farmer to live well, and they will be healthy enough to yield a crop next season, should nature permit. To aid the kingdom with grain, and provide assurance to the people is the makings of a great leader.

    True. In the game, it's a no-brainer to let Nilfgaard win. You're like "on one side you have degenerates superstitious idiots who can't bath and on the other you have basically the Roman Empire close to industrialization. Hmmm I wonder who I want" And I read the books before. And I'm rereading them rn and I forgot how it wasn't as clear-cut in the books. They still have kind of moral superiority on many things and are advanced, but they're also very barbaric and cruel. In Thronebreaker you see more the cruel aspect of Nilfgaard and I feel is closer to the book with the ambiguity

Meanwhile they removed all interesting northern rulers, changed Radovid froma reasonable but brutal Monarch to an insane idiot and making the only sympathetic northern characters either neutral in the wars or actively supporting Nilfgaard. If anything I feel like the writers of the Witcher 3 lament the fact that the writers of Witcher 2 had the Nilfgaardians do evil stuff. If they had their way the evil north would have attacked Nilfgaard because they are not bigoted enough.
