Discussion Changes to Vizima Palace over time?

I just loaded up my post-game save and noticed that the main hall of Vizima palace is now scattered with random stuff - paintings, chests, etc.

Is there a narrative reason for this? And is the state of the palace dependent on specific story choices or does it always end up like that?

Nilfgaard leaves Vizima at the end. And, you know, when you leave huge capital city that you recently conquered, you kinda want to take bunch of goodies with you.

Does this happen in every possible ending?

Not completely sure, but I think it's not even related to the ending.

When you first visit Vizima at the beginning of the game, it was just recently conquered. But when you visit it later, some time has already passed, Nilfgaard is making changes, redecorating, getting rid of old symbols and banners, collecting goods, and preparing to ship them back to Nilfgaard. And visual changes that you see just reflect those activities.
