A very big new map ans a story before the Wild Hunt story!
The presence of Fringilla Vigo and Regis are the strict minimum. I think this expansion can be the occasion to develop a lot of Nilfgaard characters.
It would be good that Scoia' tael also have a central role because they are really absent in witcher 3 (Saskia, Iorveth and Francesca Findabair)!

I feel like I am missing something here...
Isn't Regis dead?Why is everyone expecting him to be in the next expansion?
Because higher vampires are almost impossible to kill. Even if Regis end up being smoking ashes in the books, he can regenerate himself, but it should take hundreds of many years. (According to the Witcher video game compendium book)
EDIT : You're lucky I have the english version of the book so I can give you the quote that makes me believe he is not truly dead :

I remember that Regis said that it took a lot of years for him to regenerate,can't remember exactly how many,but him being alive after he was melted into glass?He might be alive but it would take a very long time before he could regenerate fully so I don't see how they can justify that.That being said, I hope they include him though because he was one of my favourite characters.
if CDPR is still working out on the story for B&W, i really wish it would be set after the ending of Wild Hunt.
that way they can flesh out more on what the rest of characters are doing after the war is over instead of just leaving us Geralt all by himself in Kaer Morhen :sad pepe:
plus i'm packing all these nifty runewords in my gear but i don't have any more bosses left to fight.
Too many potential variables to take into account: relationship choices, the fate of Ciri, who won the battle for the northern realms, etc. CDPR could do it, but the level of reactivity probably wouldn't make many people happy.
Using Toussaint is also not just randomly picked and the reasons for it are most likely the same reasons why we won't see references to the main game.
It is a vassal state by Nilfgaard, that's true, but it's one of the few, which is more or less independet with an own rich culture and own problems aside from the world problems. You can't even really leave that place, if it is winter, that's how locked-in it is. They have to pay taxes and provide ressources to Nilfgaard, but as far I know that's it. Might be wrong about that, but I believe they don't even support Nilfgaard military (troops).
I wonder if those people even care, who would win the war, because nothing really would change for them.
They also have this "romantic" knight thing, people always see in medieval settings (or the guy who challenges Geralt several times in the game). A knight is a gentleman and has to rescue the princess, stuff like that.
A little bit like their own world and maybe that's exactly why they chose it, to have more freedom again and not being limited by something.
In HoS they used the Ofieri, a culture and nation we barely know anything at all, so they had the freedom to create for example runes to improve the gameplay.
Even their language is (most likely) just made up by CDPR.
So choosing Toussaint as the next (and so far last) location is already excluding any connection the main game and therefore their characters and (side)stories from the start.
The only thing I could imagine how it could still work, would be, if they make it some years into the future, after everything settled down already, but even then they have to make some things even and references like who won the war have to be so vague that they are going to be pointless anyway.
If they want to consider all decisions and results, it would be a pain in the ass to connect everything to Toussaint, not because of the amount of decisions, but because they vary quite a lot.
Triss would be the easiest, she is in Kovir in any case. Just say she has to deal with some diplomatic issues in Toussaint (though why should she deal with Toussaint and not Nilfgaard directly?). If Geralt wasn't there already, he would just accompany her.
Yennefer, well, if she is with Geralt, not much to explain then, she just went with Geralt to Toussaint on their journey, but if she is alone, what reason would she have to be in Toussaint? She has no connection to it except for Fringilla and well, let's say that's not exactly the friendliest one.
Ciri. Uff. If she is the emperess, it's easier, she wanted to see one of her vassal states. A witcheres? She was just nearby and heard Geralt is around. She is dead? Well, shit
From the other friends only Dandelion would be there, as he is the only with a real history with the county, I don't want to spoil that for those, who haven't read the books yet (what you are waiting for?), but you are in for a huge surprise.
The other witchers, well, maybe they are there? Maybe not. The continent is huge, really huge and meeting several old friends at the same place in such a huge world is really unlikely.
Other sorcerers? Yeah, but only one makes sense (and because she is alive...): Fringilla Vigo. If she isn't in that expansion, they should have killed her along with Sheala de Tancarville.
The war? Well, they could just "skip" it, as I said, not much would change for them no matter who won, but it would be quite weird, if nobody is even mentioning its outcome. Depending on what the expansion will be about, if you are talking with characters, who are involved in politics, it would be quite strange, if they don't mention it at all.
The other decisions don't have any influence on Toussaint (Skellige, fate of the mages in the northern realms, Keira and so on), I guess.
I am not saying it isn't doable, but considering that they didn't choose it on a whim, I think it's a pretty safe bet to say that Geralt is the star of the adventure and except for Fringilla I don't really expect anyone else. It would also give Fringilla the attention, she deserves. Probably the most underdeveloped book character so far and had pretty much no purpose in the game.

HoS is an awesome expansion packed with humor, intelligent dialogues, astonishing presentation, and a thrilling story, but it was quiet linear. I hope BaW delivers more dramatic and difficult choices you have to make, which have a huge impact on the storyline. This is something I liked of the main witcher 3 game.
As @Kallelinski; has said, location is everything for expansion #2, and we should expect everything (including the Spanish Inquisition) to be appropriately themed. Plenty of room in #3 for other loose ends.
Well, there is Regis gwent card...
So? Milva has one as well.
Now that you mention is.... let's hope there will be an Angoulême Gwent Card in Blood & Whine. In honor to her glorious plan of opening a brothel in Toussaint.
i Think that the expansion "Blood and Wine" is about Kaer Morhen and the time when Gerald was young. Also Kaer Morhen seems like a place, where a lot of work was placed into the castle, but there weren't many moments where the main-quest was at Kaer Morhen.
Also, am I the only one who haven't explored the area at Kaer Morhen at all?

It's been already said that Blood and Wine is gonna take place at Toussaint not Kaer Morhen.
