This I knew already, but I also remember reading a statement that their current thought process was that if they made DLC/expansions it would not focus on Tav or the current party members. That's what I meant by additional content, obviously they're willing to make additions for the game currently just... deeply unfortunate that an Act 3 quest for Karlach hasn't made the cut and there are now clear signs it won't.

That was from a Swen interview in September. However, it seems they have changed their mind about that since then, given what Withers said. Perhaps they've realized it's a lot cheaper to expand upon existing assets than to create new ones. It's also a lot easier to draw people in with characters that are already popular than to try and sell people on new ones.
