Is the Baron a bad guy in witcher 3?

The Bloody Baron (Philip Strenger) in The Witcher 3 isn't a straightforward "bad guy" but a deeply flawed, tragic figure; he's an abusive, alcoholic warlord who mistreated his wife and caused immense suffering, yet he also shows remorse, seeks redemption, cares for Ciri and others, and performs some genuinely kind acts, making him a morally complex character the player must judge for themselves. He's a "bad dude" for his violence and cruelty but isn't a typical villain, embodying the game's gray morality.

Should I spare Gaetan in Witcher 3?

The choice to kill or spare Gaetan in The Witcher 3 is a major moral dilemma with no easy answer, revolving around his massacre of villagers after being betrayed and cheated by them, balanced against his own brutal life and sparing a child, with rewards varying but generally not game-breaking, leaving it up to player interpretation of Geralt's character and justice.
