These are just some cool ideas about some tilesets that I have. Some of the options could be a jungle tileset; take me to areas like Chult or a jungle of forgotten times!
Do you have a really cool tileset idea that wasn't mentioned in the poll? Put it in a comment below!
-An oceanic, beach tileset might be a great idea, even!
Edit: In my opinion, all of the above just isn't feasible. If we're being realistic here, then budget constraints, not to mention sheer effort, would prohibit focus on other areas of the game. That's why there's no "all of the above" option.

- Volcanic (give me volcanic rock any day of the week! Maybe even add a volcano tile?)4.35%

A close second for me would be a lush Forrest/Elven village city tile
The ability to mix and match from any tileset would be great too.
Even back in the day, when the game came out, the expansions only added a few tilesets. The poll is really asking, "what tileset is NWN lacking?"
All of the above? Hell, who wouldn't want all of the above! But it wasn't included so that a person's vote wouldn't just be wasted, or otherwise I would have put a "who cares" option.
The only thing I do regret not making is an "other" option, though, lol. That was a nooby mistake! xD
Check out, for instance, how expansive the forest tileset is. I'm not a modder or anything, but I consider the forest tileset all the different types of tree tilesets they have. I'm hoping they'll give us an expansive new tileset, rather than a few itty bitty ones, looking at how small the desert tileset is.
Again, look at how expansive the snow tileset is. The snow tileset was incredibly detailed, containing trails, a tomb exterior layout, cave exterior, different sorts of trees, elevated areas, rivers, and ect...
Oh, @mangamuscle thank you so much for voting. I really appreciate it, bro.
1) More ramps to upper levels
2) "Hilly" versions of the outdoor maps
3) Ceilings for the indoor tilesets
4) Texture upgrade for some of the older tilesets
Next, more varied dungeons. The Bioware dungeon tileset is so oddball. Classic Dungeon is much more useful, but we always need more.
As a general comment, new tilesets should be as generic and flexible as possible, without furniture or pillars (which obstruct pathfinding, limit placeable placement and hinder the builder from re-imagining the space as something else).
Ideally, all the tiles should be in the palette, with no placement rules, so that the builder can just put tiles where they need to be without scrolling through the variants or adjusting the surrounding tiles into a legal configuration first. That puts the onus on the builder to align crossers correctly etc, a responsibility I gladly accept.
TCC Interiors is a splendid example of the last two points.

The above is just a snapshot of what is available. There are many other excellent community made tilesets out there. Another example is the Versatile Dungeon by Maxam who also made the tileset linked to by Proleric above.Seek and ye shall find.

PHoD Aegypara and for sub-saharan Africa there's PHoD AFRICA. I know he was working on tilesets for the Indian sub continent but all I can find currently find is the creatures/placeables pack (includes very large placeable buildings) called PHoD KALI.
He has made loads of stuff including lots of tilesets some of which should satisfy both the frozen lands request and the extra planar request. Here is a list of most of them.
One word of warning about the pictures of his work. A lot of them contain pictures of models of busty ladies in skimpy attire.
