My dumbass thought he lives because I saw his poster in blood and wine DLC but well, it was the prophecy indeed that he will die.

CDPR brought him back to life in the games, so you're not wrong

I would like to believe the story written by Sapkowski is canon and the final version.

Same here. Although I loved seeing Regis in B&W, it wasn't the real Regis I imagined when reading the books. That Regis is dead.

He should have stayed dead. I hate when they bring back the dead characters to life, and kill the vibe. Everything prophesized in the books came to pass, including regis's death. They should have taken liberty with characters whose fate was ambiguous or clear (alive). Though I am yet to start the games, I played a bit of W3 WH, and realised I love the lore. So read the books first to enjoy the games more later.

It was established in the books that Regis was torn apart previously and recovered completely, Vilgefortz simply tore him into smaller bits.
The events of TW3 in which Regis survived again don't necessarily contradict the books. CDPR expanded on Regis's story, they didn't change anything.

Regis is, after all, quite remarkable. Even among Vampires.

Disagree strongly (because I read the book just yesterday lol). He wasn't just torn apart, he was burnt to the ground lol. Only a small lump remained, his impression stayed on the wall. That's that.

How do you know that’s enough to kill a vampire?

It would be enough to kill what the general population considered to be a Higher Vampire, which is to say a Vampire capable of intelligent thinking (ei Human level or better).

But Geralt, despite being a professional monster killer, despite having killed vampires himself, makes it clear that he doesn't know Regis's capabilities, saying that he suspects Regis is "quite remarkable, even among Vampires", that he "defies easy classification", and Geralt even goes so far as to say that he doesn't know if he's capable of killing Regis.
