I really hope we get at least one companion who isn't a member of one of the playable races.
I could live with a half-dragon but only if they look like this [img]
https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net...cale-to-width-down/350?cb=20190802170648[/img] Half-Dragon should have clear Darconic features and not just be humans who can transform, into Dragons at will.
Still, don't understand why they haven't become a playable race but instead those boring Dragonborn who don't even have a tail.
There is a mod in P:K that allows you to play as a half-dragon, but they do not look like that nice XD. You also have the druid shapeshift and some spells that can turn you into a (very powerful) dragon form.

There are wings, tails, and horns in games like P:K or the two NWN, I do not think that is too hard to implement. Dragonborn look like a dwarf with a lizard head, indeed. Tails or wings or claws would be welcome.
Swen Vincke said that "the Mindflayers are not the main adversaries in BGIII: they hinted that the mindflayers are somehow victims, have complex motivations, a tragic story and are slaves of a greater power" Yeaaah... that is one way to put it.

Maybe a Gith too. It would be interesting to have both in the same party. I bet they would not be together for too long.
The most important thing for me is interesting npc companions (and a lot) just like in BG2 with their own personal quests and banters.
Also interaction between npc's and relationships.
As choosable races I would like to see drow, half drow, duergar and thiefling (possibly these races also for npc's)
I could imagine that the arrival of the illithid could trigger a lot of attention from these races, not to mention the Gith which is obvious.
I also hope that they provide for interesting demon summoning spells.
What also could be interesting is an unkown (not mentioned) daughter of Viconia DeVir and the Baalspawn from BG2. Half drow, half Baalspawn.
They said that in BG3 they will use the infamous canon character "Abdel Adrian" (also the canon ending of WOTC for the BG saga and the ending of Abdel Adrian in the "Murder in Baldur's Gate" PA). At least in the (terrible) books he romances Jaheira and Jaheira only (if you can call that romance whatever is in that books).
But it would be a nice cameo.
About races, It would be cool to have Genasi, changeling or Goliath races, if possible. I liked the Unearthed Arcana races. Even in a DLC.
