Id be stoked for a reimagined revisit to Durlag’s Tower. THAT would be cool.
This would not be so far-fetched, after all, the Illithids managed to infiltrate Durlag's tower in the past. Maybe this time they have it completely under control and turned it into another outpost similar to Moonrise Towers? The Elder Brain surely still knows the secret passages and entrances as well as the positions of the traps that have been disarmed in the meantime. Even Ketheric could have simply sent his peep-eye with his undead servants through the corridors to track down the remaining traps.
If we can't visit Durlag's Tower, then maybe one of the other places like Gullykin or Beregost. I'd also like to beat the crap out of Xvarts and Tasloi again.
Durlag's tower was neat, but the problem with it was that half the content in Throne of Bhaal ended up in essentially a side dungeon irrelevant to the main plot, and the final leg of the Bhaalspawn Saga really came out the worse for it IMO. I wouldn't want Larian to fall into a similar trap.
Could it be that you have confused Durlags Tower with Watcher's Keep?
But I think I know what you mean. On your adventure journey in BG 1, you could easily detour to a ruin that you thought was just another ruin. In BG 2 with Watcher's Keep, of course, it was very different, since you now knew you were a child of Bhaal, either hunting for Irenicus and Bodhi or the other Bhaalspawn, and for the most part not out in the wilderness stumbling upon yet another ruin. Here I would have liked to see a small leading event, such as meeting a traveling merchant, that would have pointed it out to us.
