I agree, Avernus endgame / post-basic game DLC could have a lot of content:
- Fixing Karlach's heart (if she is alive / in party) of saving her soul from Zariel (if she died).
- Wyll either dealing with Mizora peacefully / violently (for example, if he broke the pact, but saved Ravengard, she intends to eventually strike the Duke down, so that could be a preemptive measure or result of another attempt on his life) or breaking the pact with Mizora / Zariel (if he kept it to save Ravengard).
- Dammon joining party for example as a companion / camp follower to help Karlach and / or retrieve new rare materials for his crafts, maybe even from Karixim himself, with whom he is personally acquainted as hinted in his items.
- Astarion either having to deal with Mephistopheles because he became Ascended Vampire via his ritual or searching for a cure to vampirism (since looks like Mephistopheles knows how to cure it, maybe even without sacrificing 7000 souls).
- Raphael's machinations if he is alive, but did not get the crown or his war in Avernus if he got it or vengeance of Mephistopheles if Raphael was killed by a player (or even him getting reborn and having personal vendetta against the party).
And so on.
As for comments for Astarion vampirism above, while that makes some sense, it is still not exactly that - he ascends not only to "cure" vampirism, but also to get a lot of power, so him finding a cure to it in good path - partial or full - still does not negate that, as in both cases he is not affected by its drawbacks, but in one case he still remains just an Elf Rogue with limited power (good path) and in second he is stronger than even a high vampire (being the Ascended one), but can easily get corrupted and turn into another Cazador. That would still keep the consequences meaningful, but different.
