One thing I'm confused of though, my ending said Redania was conquered by Nilfgaard. What? I had Radovid killed, yes, then killed Dijkstra so that the treaty would still go through, but I didn't think the treaty involved Redania completely surrendering. I thought it was Nilfgaard gets everywhere they've already taken, leave Redania alone to do its thing, and pull out of Temeria and leave it as a client state/vassal whatever, for the most part governing itself. Did the deal really mean that Nilfgaard gets Redania, too? Did I miss something?
nope
treaty only involved Temeria being left alone and becoming a vassal. Redania was still fighting, but without a good leader, so it was free to get totally raped and conquered by Emhyr.

The game came into the mail today. Why did it cum on your mail? Perhaps it was a little too excited

Playing Hearts of Stone now. Vlodimir is the shit. Him possessing Geralt is some of the funniest stuff so far. Compared to him Geralt really is boring.
Also, Gaunter O'Dimm is Satan. Who'd of thunk?

Just beat Hearts of Stone. And, just so everyone is clear on this point, Gaunter O'Dimm is definitely Satan.
Didn't stop me from beating him at his own game, though. Suck it, Devil-Man!

Started Blood and Wine, and HOOOOOLY HEEEEEEELL is Grandmaster armor EXPENSIVE AS SHIT. I crafted the Gradmaster Wolven Chest armor and became instantly broke. That sumbitch cost me as much as my entire set of Mastercrafted armor. How can that armorer sleep at night? I come to kill some Beast and save the entire region, and he fleeces me like I'm some common rube. This is downright scandalous.

So, I had a dream last night. I was fighting a dude. Don't know who, there was darkness and shadows all around. I was kicking ass, too, which is unusual for my dreams. Wasn't even afraid. Here's the thing though. Some dickhead, off in the background of my dream? He was narrating our fight. Narrating it with those stupid fucking nonsense rhymes that the Tourny announcer uses in Blood and Wine. I think it was even the same guy. And it was just... so awful. Like the things he said, I couldn't ignore them. They physically pained me in the dream. Pained me enough that whatever I was fighting ended up feeding me my own ass. And the fucker still kept rhyming as I lay on the ground, agonized, until I woke up.
None of this is made up. Those infuriating rhymes literally invaded my nightmares last night and caused me to get my ass kicked. I hate that rhyming bastard.

I'VE FINALLY DONE IT! (Warning, massive nonsensical post ahead.)
My fundraising for Grandmaster gear is finally over. I have it. The complete set. And it was easy. I endeavored to raise the funds legitimately, doing quests around the countryside for a pay of precisely "Jack shit" in comparison to what I needed when it dawned on me. A surefire way to make money and take my revenge on these greedy Toussaint merchants.
Bought the materials and had my gear crafted, which STILL drained almost the entire 50000 gold I had. But no problem, I'll get some more money, because fuck you armorsmith. And I thought, you know what? I'll treat myself, why the fuck not. So with another 25000 in hand I skipped on over to another merchant and bought up all his armor glyphs and weapon runes, then some armor for Roach because I was feeling generous. And again, I had to spend a lot of my "Money" in order to do so. But guess what? Those sick fucks maybe "Hon hon honing" to themselves like true Frenchman, sipping wine and nibbling at their croissants in glee as they jerk off all over the obscene piles of gold I dropped on their doorsteps, but what they don't realize is that it's all COUNTERFEIT.
YES, COUNTERFEIT! My grand plan for raising money? Get a mod from the Nexus and just spawn it in with the debug console! NONE OF THE MONEY I GAVE THEM WAS REAL! And I'm continuing to do it, too. Oh, I'll still quest for everyone. The money they give me, the real money? I'm keeping it, and in return buying EVERYTHING with my fake console cash. But by the time they realize that it will be far too late. Those merchants will have circulated the fake currency through the Toussaint economy before they even begin to suspect that the money a lonely drifter heaped onto them might not be entirely above board. The entire region will enter an economic crisis, as my perfectly manufactured counterfeit gold coins will be utterly indistinguishable from real money. Prices on goods will skyrocket and the value of Toussaint's money will plummet from this massive influx of fake money. They will see rates of inflation that nobody on the Continent has seen before.
All business transactions are now being monitored by the Toussaint guards as they investigate, confiscating mountains of coin from local businesses in an attempt to divine the source of this financial terrorism. Unable to distinguish real coin from fake, the Toussaint banking system will cease reimbursing business their losses, and will soon do the same for all locals as well. Attempting to secure what he believes to be the last vestiges of true currency in the region, the cheap Dwarf running the bank will close indefinitely. Unable to secure their hard earned savings as they slip deeper and deeper into poverty, the citizenry will riot. Shops will be burned and looted. The bank itself will be stormed, the staff killed or brutalized in unspeakable ways as the peasantry fights over the last vestiges of real money in the vault. Guards will be called in to quell the riots, spilling even more blood in their futile attempt to control the citizenry. Faced with no other choice if they want to survive, people begin resorting to the unsavory black market which gives criminals far and wide the foothold they need to entrench themselves in Toussaint by the thousands. Corruption in the government will boom as the peasants starve and the vineyards will be torched by furious citizens, cutting off the nobility from the region's best source of income.
On the brink of revolution, nay, utter collapse, Toussaint looks to the only nation capable of saving them from this catastrophe: The Empire of Nilfgaard. Unwilling to bail Toussaint out, the Empire makes them a deal: Become party of Nilfgaard completely, assimilate wholly, and we will save you. Toussaint now faces the decision that will chart the course of its entire future. Will they whore themselves out and become slaves of the Empire, saving their region at the cost of their traditions, their very liberty? Or will they continue their downward spiral of violence and poverty until they become little more than an apocalyptic wasteland, blackened and burned with the fires of constant infighting, crime, and even civil war? The Beast they hired me to kill? Trivial now. Their doom is certain. It all could have been avoided had they simply charged reasonable prices for their services.
And that's the story of how I turned Toussaint into Detroit.

Beat Blood and Wine. And man oh man oh man, did that ending piss me the fuck off. By which I mean the stuff with Dettlaf, Syanna, and Anna. The rest of it was just straight up perfect, with Geralt and Yen getting their happily ever after in the Vineyard (Which I renovated completely, using more counterfeit gold to quicken Toussaint's coming collapse). But holy shit, I decided to save Syanna and get her to meet Dettlaf, but I fucked up. I decided to buy the fucking ribbon while I was in Fairytaleland and that conniving cunt Syanna survived. Which pissed off Dettlaf. Which pissed me off because the ensuing boss fight against him was so goddamn frustrating. Seriously, his attacks hit like a truck on steroids and were nigh impossible to dodge.
And of course it wasn't over then. I tracked down the last victim (Anna) and repeatedly told Anna that her sister wanted to straight up murder her, but no. She just had to hug her sister for forgiveness even after I informed her and all the guards that said sister wanted to fucking murder her and guess what? She got fucking murdered. Hoooly shit lady, you're stupid. Syanna got murdered too though, which was nice. Unfortunately Regis is now being hunted down by the vampires for killing Dettlaf, which sucks a lot.
On the bright side, I get to retire to my Vineyard with Yen and live happily ever after. And now without their beloved leader Toussaint will slip that much quicker into complete anarchy. Geralt himself said that chaos reigned. My dastardly plan to destroy the duchy has succeeded, though not quite in the way I envisioned. Now I'll just sit back in my Vineyard, fortify the walls, and become the eminent warlord in the apocalyptic wasteland that Toussaint will quickly become. I'll fortify the walls so Yen can rain fire down on any fools hoping to take our prosperity away from us. I'll personally cut down anyone who makes it onto my property. We will reign supreme in the coming firestorm, lavishing in our (real) wealth and destroying all who stand against us. It will be... glorious.

At last, I have finally completed my playthrough of the main campaign... And I got the worst ending apparently. Ciri died and Geralt went to finish off the last Crone and retrieve Ciri's stolen medallion and then I guess he let himself die in the cabin? Super depressing, but that seems to be fitting for the story, honestly. I'm not gonna replay the ending or anything, but I looked up online what causes me to get the "bad ending" and it's fucking bullshit. It says to get that ending, Ciri loses faith in herself because Geralt reprimanded her all the time. WTF? I LITERALLY ALWAYS SAID SHE CAN HANDLE SHIT. I WAS ALWAYS SIDING WITH HER. And I guess she was upset that I took the gold from the emperor? BITCH DID YOU SEE HOW MUCH HE'S OFFERING ME? He's offering me double of what I currently have, goddammit.
Geralt's last words to Ciri were "Please don't do this to me." or something, then she died, I guess. I'm kinda annoyed there's no follow-up with the characters like Yen, Triss, etc (I'm sure there is in the other endings) but there wasn't anything. It's just... Ciri dies, Geralt walks up to a werewolf, then kills the Crone and then lets himself die (or at least it's implied)
Gonna save the DLCs for after I'm done playing Red Dead Redemption 2. Need a break anyway.
