Suffice to say, they make the whole lore a lot more complex and intricate.
Of course, they do this by being one of the most violent and aggressive factions ever inThe Witcherfranchise.
At some point in the third game, they even proved to be a challenge to otherworldly beings.
That’s how dangerous Nilfgaard really is.
Here are 10 of those evil transgressions as proof.
9SUPERIORITY COMPLEX
Nilfgaard loves to spread its own culture and ideologies.

That’s because they believe that they are superior in everything.
Meanwhile, Dijkstra hates Nilfgaard and wants to fix Redania so he can deal with Emhyr.
Technically, the two should be allies.
Because of Emhyr, you get to lose either Dijkstra or Roche, a tough call.
That’s because armies are also composed of human beings who have basic necessities.
4TOTALITARIAN RULE

Subject them to an iron fist, of course.
Needless to say, the word of the Nilfgaardian Emperor is law in all of Nilfgaard and its territories.
They did this by assassinating every major king who might stand against them.
Letho proved too successful and threw half the continent into pure chaos just by beheading the right people.
Goes to show just how far Nilfgaard is willing to go just to reign supreme.
2INVADING KINGDOMS
In addition to waging war, Nilfgaard is all about subjugation and conquest.
That means they will assimilate any territory they defeat whether its populace likes it or not.
1WAR
Some wars might be justified and reasonable, but Nilfgaard’s is not one of those.
They’ll easily upset the peace just to forcibly spread their beliefs.
This has been shown time and again inThe Witcher 3quite vividly.
