My ideal would be that we don't ever get a "BG4," by which I mean a game with "Baldur's Gate" in the title. I'd want a completely new series and franchise, and if using the FR then in a part of FR we have NEVER seen in another game.
Has any game ever gone to Waterdeep? I constatly hear Waterdeep this and Waterdeep that, but never seen the place.
A game set in Waterdeep would be awesome. It is a city that has received extreme detailing in the FR literature so there would be so much you could do with it. And Khelben "The Blackstaff" is my all-time favorite FR character, and his life is largely set in Waterdeep.
However, ...
My vote is they move away from the Sword Coast entirely. The continent of Faerun is huge. The world of Toril is even larger. And the freakin D&D universe with it's multiple planes is incomprehensible vast. Oh, and D&D 5e also includes a multiverse that includes all possible settings!!
The Sword Coast is good enough, sure, but I've traveled up and down it so many times over different modules and video games. Let's get something new.
This would be what I'd want as well: a game set as far away from the Sword Coast/Neverwinter/Icewind Dale as possible. There are just soooooo many fantastic locales in the Realms that would make for an awesome game. Personally, I would love a game set around the longstanding contest of wills between Thay and Aglarond, especially since the Simbul is my second-favorite FR character.
