Are you planning to make an expansion for Throne of Bhaal? If yes then I've some suggestions.

Siege of Dragonspear is in my opinion good but at epic levels on an expansion for ToB potentialy so much more could be done. For example we have this Umbral Accord organization Belhifet was a member of, they can be the enemy in the hypothetical BG2 expansion. However for this expansion to be interesting you would have to take it to the next level. To be honest I'm disappointed that Avernus invasion in SoD was so short and brief it would have been better much better if we could visit at least some parts of Bronze Citatel/Darkspine cities or lacations like Maggot Pit and Dragonspawn Pits. Devils aren't mindless and they actually have visitors from other planes in their cities.
However for a next expansions it would be even more intetesting if we could explore other planes than Baator like Abyss, Acheron, Gehenna, Carceri, Gray Waste, Far Realm or perhaps even upper planes. For example Agathion in Pandemonium would be good because deity-level monsters that we could fight are supposed to be there. Hades would be interesting because of yugoloths and blood war that we could take part in. Really outer planes are still so underused in D&D games so far but if you make another dlc then you should let us properly explore those planes including cities, villages and diverse locations there, not just a quick linear trek like in SoD.
Another thing that is really needed is more types of dragons including epic level dragons. Imagine a battle(probably optional) against Great Wyrm Prismatic Dragon, Time Dragon and Force Dragon at the same time, that should be a real challnge for even level 30 party. Dracoliches are a good idea too. There are so many lesser dragons you can use as well. Linnorms and extraplanar dragons are also interesting.

Would be great if you could add some new monsters to that hypothetical expansion like Adamantine Dragon, Linnorm, Steel Dragon, Hydra, Sea Dragon, Sea Wyrm, Dragon Turtle, Ghoul/Ghast Undead Dragons, Intellect Devourer, Brainstealer Dragon, Mind Worm, Brain Golem, Yaggol, Psijotun, Roper, Urophion, Mindwitness(perhaps even Mindwitness Mage), Uchuulon, Mozgriken, Tzakandi, Nyraala Golem, Hook Horror, Duergar and more Beholder types and kin lik Overseer, Observer, Watcher, Death Kiss, Beholder Mage and Gouger. Some of these could be added to Underdark to make it harder if not possible these monsters could be added at least to the next expension and of course more types of fiends/outsiders like abyssal ghouls, lichfiends, barghests, yugoloths, baernaloths, gehreleths, obiryths, ancien baatorians, rakshashas, Aboleths, Atropals, Astral Drednoughts etc, outsiders from upper planes like archons, devas, solars and planetars and more types of giants like titans, storm giants cloud giants, fog giants, stone giants, mountain giants, hill giants, crag giants and giant-kin like firbolg, fomorians, verbeeg, voadkyn and cyclopskin.

I think Siege of Dragonspear was a missed opportunity for a fight with Terrasque but it should still be cool to fight it in the next expansion if you buff it up to resemble a 3rd version more.
Perfect expansion to BG2 in my opnion should contain extraplanar exploration, fights with stronger, undead and epic level dragons and Terrasque, for the final a battle with multiple archdevils and demon lords including Asmodeus would be great. If we can beat Demogorgon then Asmodeus and other demon/devil lords should be beatable too.
Of course all of that depends if you now have resources to add completely new monsters although SoD has some new monsters and that's why I opened this topic.
Also more kits and classes like Warblade, Duskblade, Eldritch Knight, Archmage, Templar, Red Wizard, Twofold Monk and some evil Ranger kit. We have Shaman class so Wicca kit for Shaman or as a separate class would be nice as well.

    Another good idea is Black Pits 3.

    I WANT TO FIGHT A TARRASQUE! (And to destroy it within two rounds with a GWW level 40 Kensai)

    Besides that, do as you will :)

    They should allow us to fight Terrasque in the next exapnsion but making it that weak would be a waste of time. We know BG Terrasque is stronger than Planar Hunters and they called fighting it a suicide mission, they should give Terrasque at least like 2000-4000hp or more or more, very fast regeneration and abilities more similar to D&D 3.5 version. Strength, constitution and dexterity at 25, very low armour class, THAC0, improved Aura of Despair with fear effect as innate ability and swallow attack. It must be more powerful than Amelyssan and Demogorgon avatar to make it a challenge. They can even make it a unique intelligent Terrasque with character classes that wants to take over Toril. Imagine a Terrasque that is multiclass Fighter/Mage/Cleric or Fighter/Thief/Mage all classes at lv30 or higher. That Terraque may be captured by Baeloth, found in Agathion or there can be a plot about some organization wanting to set it upon Toril or even intelligent Terrasque acting on its own.
    I also want to fights more types of golems( sand golems, Brass Mintoaur, the Burning Man, Phantom Flyer, gemstone golems, planar golems etc), giants, titans, outsiders, fiends(including demon lords and archdevils) and dragons(including dragons with character classes). BG Dragons lack variety we need dracoliches and more epic, metallic and extraplanar dragon types. More types of undead like for example Atropals, Yeshom, Abyssal Ghouls, death knights, effigy, nightshades, wights, Kaisharga, vestiges, wrackspawn, true ghouls, elevated ghouls, etc

    We still need Shadowdancer and Dragon Disciple companions too. I would like a ghoul/ogre/troll/githyanki companion(or at least half ogre or troll).

    I wonder if Dark Sun classes like psionicist, defiler and preserver could be possible to implement.
    Stellar Dragon would be an interesting enemy. Another idea I got would be expansion in Ravenloft.

    I'd like to fight some high powered Solar too, we fought The Winged who is Planetar but not Solar.

    It would be interesting if a next expansion was located on another continent outside of Faerun.
    For example on Maztica because this continent is no longer a part of Abeir-Toril is newer editions since so it's probably the only chance to make a PC games on this continent or Anchorome or perhaps Katashaka.
    I guess Zakhara or Kara-Tur would also be interesting but I prefer Maztica since it's no longer available later.

    Lots of interesting ideas, there are speculations about new game which would take place in Waterdeep :smile:
