it does not matter, really. "We" have nothing to say in the matter, the content, will be unavailable for us to test.
So, what I hope and wish is irreverent. Since Larian actually don't care about it.
They have a plan , and we not part of it.
keep your expectation to the lowest.
Or be disappointed at full release.
Careful with that edginess, you’ll poke your eye out.
New companions in act 2 would be an awesome suprise since right now I'm convinced we won't get any.
Other than that, I mostly hope we will be able to go back to the act 1 area.
About act 2 itself... I don't know if we'll gain access to Baldur's Gate, I'm not sure we will but it's more than possible. If not, we'll probably get some form of civilization. Hopefully some recognisable places like Baragoset or neeshkal. I would even welcome other landmarks like candlekeep or the friendly arm's inn
Why do you want to backtrack? Why would you move on to the next map before you’ve finished exploring the first and why would you return if you have already finished it?
I doubt we will see Beregost and especially Nashkel. Maybe Candlekeep.
