Agree with you @misho8723 , the behaviour of Dijkstra is completely out of character. Furthermore, if you compare with TW2, the politics of this quest are a mess. They tried to summarize all the politics that should have been put throughout the game in one small mission and the result is really bad. Apart from Dijkstra dying like an idiot, for God sake! He is one of the most intelligent man in the books! And the only logical choice was kill Roche rather than convince him?
Everyone knows from TW2 that Roche hates nilfgardians, if Dijkstra would have offer any other option, probably he would have taken it.
Finally, in my opinion, this quest is too simple and it should be longer, at the end the we should have more options to choose and the characters should behave as they always do (Roche plotting with Nilfgaard? What a sh**!)

In fact, they did this in White Orchard for the endings (no matter if you chose Radovid/Dijkstra) so they have already done one area of the game. The palace is a small area so it shouldn't be difficult. The real challenge is Novigrad/Velen considering that Skellige is out of the war.

If you play HoS after completing the main game (assuming you did Reason of State), Shani and Geralt discuss Radovid dying but the war raging on. I understand how complicated it can be to adjust the end world state to reflect who won the war i.e. Nilfgaard banners in Novigrad, more witch hunters around Velen, Redanian flags at former Nilfgaard strongholds.
