BG3 is a great game, and of course not everything can be explained. So, I have some suggestions for DLC's.

**Look out for spoilers!**

**The Amazing epilogue**
DLC after the game, where we:

Go to Avernus with Wyll and Karlach
Waterdeep with a story line for Gale: The Yawning Portal and Halaster Blackcloak's old tower.
Explore Lycanthropy with Shadowheart and Helia
Go to Kara Tur with Astarion (given Cazador having ties we could find something that would appeal to both versions of Astarion)
Go to Menoboranzzan with Minthara
Go to the Astral with Lae'zel
Go to Thaniel's realm with Halsin (explore the fey wilds)
Minsc and Jaheira - a fun questline tracking the events of BG1 and 2

**Helia and The Hag Coven**
Many of us love Ethel, and could do with more. I propose a hag and werewolf DLC where we get an questline with the Hag coven, that ties into the missing companion: Helia.

Helia could in addition bew tied to Shadowheart and Astarion's story the way Karlach and Wyll's are tied together.

**Upper City**
Upper city update along with improved overall act 3. And I would like for us to have an option of us getting our home or return to it. One that we can decorate and more. (I would argue this could also bnne a patch).

**Everchanging**
A DLC that dives deeper into changelings and doublegangers with the new race of changelings added.

**A steam punk DLC**

A steampunk inspired DLC with the artificer class and the Iron hand Gnomes. And adding Barcus Wroot as a possible companion.

Great ideas - I read Helia, hag coven, steampunk and Barcus and was sold.

Whenever DLC pops up I copy and paste the same thing:

Legacy: some more classic stuff and one or two old friends again. Although really only one makes total sense - Aerie; she won’t have physically aged at all and has the closest connection with Minsc. And you can return a classic companion who is also kind of a new character, since she obviously wouldn't be the same kid still recovering from abuse and trauma that she was in BG2. She'll have seen and experienced a lot more, be more confident and independent - maybe even sassy due to hanging around Imoen (you could effectively roll several characters into her since she was friends with and taught by them). Embraced gnomish ideas more than we saw before, maybe her relationship with Jaheira evolved to being even more of a mother/daughter type thing where they might argue but obviously do have affection for each other. Years travelling, helping people, battling slavers, finding Faenya-Dail then realizing the Avariel are actually really boring, maybe even explored the planes a bit (her relationship with Haer’Dalis didn’t last long, but he still instilled in her an interest in such things; maybe that’s how she learns what really happened to Minsc, by making contact with Dynaheir). She could be a quippy action hero, or you could potentially just go full Autistic Pixie Dreamgirl™. You can easily pop her anywhere looking for Minsc, protecting refugees, or helping Jaheira (Harpers are supposed to oppose oppression and slavery so it’s likely she’ll have worked with them).

That would tie the trilogy together and let us have a full classic party, although a Jansen or a Fentan popping up would be neat too.

I really like the ideas, especially if we can add more depth to the friends we made along the way and the Upper City one. I find joy in the thought of my Tav giving SH a home - hopefully with her parents, if that romance path will allow staying together in the future wink
