The fight in that polygon video looks like it's trying to emulate the fight in the 'night to remember' trailer, which I'm 100% behind and was quite sad was never actually in the base game in some form.

Every dialogue option you select is really thoughtful and intuitive, but Lambert will always respond with something snarky and annoying because he just can't let his guard down like that.

Man I don't know about the default/base difficulties but hardest is so loving good. Every big fight (killing the first Werewolf now, in Veren or wahtever. In his lair.) has me on the edge of my seat trying to keep tabs of my potions/signs/buffs/food/toxicity/etc

Witcher 2 had River Trolls, Witcher 3 had Rock Trolls, Blood and Wine should have Forest Trolls like the one Lambert mentioned.

Decoctions, potions, and bombs all function the same: you craft it, then you have X charges you can use. (X usually goes up with the recipe level, so superior versions have 3 or 4 uses--though decoctions are stuck at 1)
Once used, if you meditate for any amount of time you will restock all charges for the cost of one hard alcohol (dwarven spirit, etc). You don't need to recraft them, they just refill/restock.

The only time you "lose" a potion or bomb is when you upgrade it to the next tier. It is possible for a few items to get a second stack (recipe handed out by quest), but these are rare--for example, I had my stack of superior dimeritium bombs, and then a stack of vanilla dimeritium. Very handy for areas that you need it.

Ok this is mostly spoilers, first play through and trying to make the right decisions. Try to answer without spoiling more than the question needs, please.

I killed the spirit mother bog bitch and the bloody baron still wants to go back and save his wife. Read the quest wiki. If I don't want the baron to hang himself, is that an option? Accept the quest but never go, or if I decline the quest does he still go back and end up hanging himself anyway?

I killed the tree spirit before I returned to the baron

Feel free to double check the IGN walkthrough (which has exhaustive detail on essentially everything), before doing anyting, but if you killed the tree, you'll go back with the baron (and his daughter - don't recall if she shows up in the Crones' hamlet or beforehand), and after a bit of fighting he'll ride off with his wife to get her cured. There won't be any suicide.

If you make a detour on your way to the (HOS spoiler?) wedding, say to the Flaming Rose quest Rose On a Red Field, Vlodomir has a comment for it, and for other HOS areas. Has anyone tried taking him to the heist? Wondered if he has any interaction there.

I tried going to Oxenfurt with him. About halfway there, he went YEAH NO WE'RE NOT GOING THERE.

Thanks for the quest help all, also how much does the gwent set cost? Doesn't show up on the store without that code. Debating on buying Hearts of Stone even though I'm only 30 hours into the game, it's not likely to be discounted in the steam summer sale is it?

I'm betting that the main game will be discounted in tandem with the final expansion releasing on Steam. Probably not together with HoS but who knows.
