I wish they will add the following type of weapons:
- ninjato, katana, nodachi
- nunchaku, claw/glove
- scythe
I still hope to see monk class or kensei archetype
I hope that this is not going to upset people, but I'd prefer that they don't use non-European weapons, at least not as commonly available options. If your character hails from Kara-Tur or the Endless Wastes then more 'Eastern' weaponry should be considered as their starting gear (this will especially be the case if they use the Samurai fighter option - maybe linked to a starting gear option selection), but otherwise the developers appear to have firmly grounded the campaign in Faerun's Sword Coast - which is very Medieval European in style (for better or worse).
The ethnic make-up of the character is obviously down to the player, limited by what Larian allows in the character face selection tool, and it makes sense that not every prisoner on that nautiloid ship comes from the same continent (or even from the Forgotten Realms - it travels dimensions, after all), but the vendors of the Sword Coast are going be stocking predominantly local styles of weapons and armour. Maybe Baldur's Gate might have an 'exotic weapons' trader who sells katanas and all that, but I would prefer most vendors not to.
