A shorty romance is long overdue. Sure, it's great that shorties get to romance all 3 new NPC's but it would be nice to be able to romance a dwarf/gnome/halfling.
I just wish BG2:EE would bring back more of the BG:EE joinable NPCs, in general, regardless of class and race. I really like MANY of them and it would make the trilogy feel more as one whole, single story... IYKWIM.
That being said, the options of making a new SINGLE-CLASS thief would be great as well: elven, human, or otherwise. I don't want YET ANOTHER multi or dual thief. We already have whiny little Imoen and whiny little Nalia playing on each other's deficiencies, for that, thankyouverymuch. Alternatively, to make everybody happy, maybe give us a human thief, so whoever wants to dual him/her can do it (and choose whatever they want for the second class), while the others will keep him/her single class, at least until ToB. A fourth human thief IS boring, though...
As one last request, I'd want the new thief to be Good aligned. Parties with varied alignments often tend to break up, with people leaving or fighting each other. Which is fun. Sometimes. However, some of us like having parties (FINAL parties, at least) that make sense in that aspect. So, full Evil or full Good (or even full Neutral). Now, in the game we have 2 single class thieves... both Neutral. It would be nice if we had a Good and an Evil one. Or, if making two characters is too much, at least one of those (I'd go for Good simply because the strongest Evil characters that you can recruit push me to make CHARNAME a thief himself, to complete the Evil Dream Team). Or... you could have a Good, romanceable thief that you could turn Evil. Or an Evil, romanceable thief that you could turn Good. Think Viconia, Anomen and (more or less) Sarevok.
OK, I GOT IT! Give us romanceable Alora, and give us the option to turn her Evil, by romancing her with your Evil CHARNAME. 1) Awesome single class thief. 2) Halfling (instead of yet another human). 3) Returning BG:EE character. 4) Usable in both Good-aligned and Evil-aligned parties. 5) Romance.
She has it all! ...dual-classing, min-maxing, power-gaming obsessed players be damned.
I like the idea of Jan Jansen showing up outside Chateau Irenicus during the big spaz-out and just ending the game right there with a Flasher Master Bruiser Mate™ right through Irenicus' left eye socket. Cue end credits!
Afterwards, CHARNAME, Jan, Minsc, Jaheira, Imoen, and Yoshimo can go up to Waterdeep and hit Undermountain for some real adventure—none of this pansified Bhaalspawn shtick. Gorion would be proud!
I think one of the reasons why there weren't more thieves in BG2 is due to the spoiler once you reach spellhold.
I think most people playing the game the first time would be a little put back at leaving one of their party members or Imoen alone on an island.
With that, I want my female gnomish theif/cleric dammit and a dwarf who doesn't use an axe or hammer. That's right, a dwarf and no axe or hammer. beard optional.
Evil human thief, please. Gender and romance doesn't matter, but there are enough elves and not enough evil NPCs. I'd also take Montaron any time; best with Xzar. It only takes a little change since both are already in the game. Just change the quest outcome to Xzar reviving Montaron when you return the body and voila - evil and thief problem solved.
I would love to see a continue for Skie roleplay, but as everyone knows, old content can't be messed, unfortunally.
i would like a pure thief female, she could be a halfling or even Dwarven, so we could extend the romance options.
For the barbarian suggestion, if for any reason the devs make a redemption path for Dorn (urgh!!! Hate redemptions, corruption is better XD), a barbarian kit will be mandatory for him, to replace the blackguard kit.

and Xzar. they're way too cool to be left out. (especially in the way they were)
edit: or add an FMT. or maybe a gnomish cleric/thief. you know who. *everyone* knows who.
Edit: also yoshimo he's awesome
"If you haven't won the game with Jan Jansen, you haven't won the game." <-- the quote that will hopefully preface the BG2:EE intro

But any ways Skie would be awesome to romance! She seems so innocent! =P
You heard me.
Oh, okay, githyanki and githzerai too. Fully romanceable by each other and by the xvarts and gibberlings.
Silver swords for everyone!
One of BG2's biggest flaws is its lack of NPC thieves. Any number of new NPC thieves (whether imported from BG1 or newly created) would be welcome.
