Don't know how for you guys and girls, but I got impression from last two games, D:OS1 and D:OS2, that Larian Studios is running out of ideas for Divinity series. This is especially was highlighted in Divinity : Original Sin 1, where writers used interpretation of Pandora and her box as main plot and even put some weavess from greco-roman mythology, who literally weaves some tapestry of reality in Divinity universe. In D:OS2, story writers decided to recycle recurring villain Braccus Rex from D:OS1, and make him the main bad guy for the second game. Hard cheese with it.

So I going to propose some possible ideas for future Divinity games, which will be based on established lore and side plots of previous games :

1. Return of Maxos.
Maxos was mentioned as the greatest wizard in Rivellon, who become dragon knight lord, which maked him basicaly a real dragon, and considered to be immortal. One time he disappearing without a trace...
So, from his return as possible antihero or villain could turn out a great story. Certainly he would fit better to commit horrific monstrosites for "the greater good" more than Lucian was in D:OS2.

2. Return of previous DIvine one.
In DD Zandalor mentioned that previous DIvine one, some long time before, disappeared without a trace just like Maxos (maybe together?). Considering that DIvine's are immortal and they hard to kill, it's possible that this "hero" is still alive.
Maybe he/she will return to Rivellon, for good ol' vangence, maybe original's Divine powers were drained by some third party, or even demons. Still, from this could come up some amazing plot.

3. Sword of Lies strikes back.
Return to the roots, so to speak, and possibility for new players who don't want to play in outdated DD to learn how it's started. In the ending cutscene of DD, after defeat of Demon of Lies, sword of lies last seen falling to some hellish dimension, after failing to seduce Lucian to take it. But it's never actually was destroyed and maybe, just like "The One Ring", it has to be special conditions to do so.
If you think about it : Sword of Lies has won. Not only Lord of Chaos was successfully summoned, but even the Danmed One, Damian, was taken cared of and trained by Divine One himself. And now, what he could archive if taken by not 10 year old? Dog's bollocks I would say.

4. Using wasted potential of Beyond Divinity.
There a lot of wasted potential in BD : pseudo protoss with tails, raanaar, but whom could travel through space and time and have interesting culture; some untypically smart archdemon, for Divinity series, Asmodheus; bizzare looking Tree of Insight, vampiric tree who can answer on any question for a price, and which is connected to some unspecified gods, probably dark ones. At any case there a whole world Nemesis to explore and stories to tell, none of which will affect Rivellon's storyline any way possible.
