Nenneke scolding Geralt
I agree. But Geralt's "deceased companions" can reappear in flashbacksI have to politely disagree.I don't want to see any of Geralt's deceased companions. Milva, Cahir, Regis and Angoulême all had such perfect (beautiful albeit tragic) send-offs, reintroducing any of them into the proceedings of Witcher 3 would only undermine that achievement. Don't cheapen* one of the best conlusions to any book series in the fantasy genre just for the sake of providing a bit of fan service.
Now, I'm aware that Regis demise is somewhat more vague (no flash back to his youth or anything similar) - despite its quite graphic depiction - and the fact that he's missing from the group of dearly departed people that Ciri, Yarpen, Zoltan and Triss see when they load Geralt and Yennefer into the boat during the Rivian pogrom in combination with him having survived what one would consider a pretty lethal injury once before leads some people to believe that, while he might be dead, he's getting better all the time. And while that is a valid interpretation, personally I'd prefer it if he wouldn't make an appearance in the game.
*I mean, in a way the mere existence of the games does somewhat reduce the impact of the ending of "Lady of the Lake", but then this strikes me as a necessary compromise given that without Geralt there simply would be no Witcher game franchise.
I think there is a possibility Kalkstein could return from Witcher 1. He was a cool character and it would be interesting to encounter him again. My reasoning behind why he may appear again is because as a alchemist he mentioned Oxenfurt a lot. As we know, in Witcher 3 Oxenfurt will now be a area we can travel to. Do you think we may run into Kalkstein again?

Personally I'd like to meet Borch Three Jackdaws.
Question I've looked and couldn't find an answer. What species was Kalkstien?As of this January GOG.com Q&A (31 minutes in), Kalkstein, Shani, and the Lady of the Lake weren't yet in the game. They will be mentioned, though. However, the team hasn't ruled them out for later DLC additions.

It's never explicitly confirmed, but human but with some gnomish blood, I believe.
Which leads to some interesting speculation...
