i for one would be interested in seeing Rashemen, Zhentil Keep and maybe even Waterdeep (10x the size of Baldur's Gate you know)
as for setting the premise to pre-BG1, i agree wholeheartedly. it's pretty much the only way of safely making another Bhaalspawn. and one with a more exciting background (i don't mind the one in BG.. but in NWN 2 you start as a friggin' swamp farmer. it's just pitiful). also many of the quests would have well to do with the saga. for example being one of Gorions Harper companions and confronting Firkraag.
and since it's the Time of Troubles it wouldn't hurt to meet a deity or two (and not the more predictable ones like Cyric, Tyr and Helm).
and to those who think it should continue from ToB, don't you think this will get too far-fetched? the characters' aftermaths are written and the closure fulfilled. and future stories can't assume that you actually made a decision concerning the Throne. if you united with the Bhaal essence then it's gg and go, since you're now an intermediate god. and if you didn't.. well then future would have nothing to do with him anymore.. or with anything for that matter.. since you subdued all the supposedly greatest threats in all the realms. nobody will ever stand against you again, not even Elminster or Khelben
