The only think I can think of is Epiloge which was to take place in the upper city, which was scrapped due to it being too long. So it is not coming back, but instead Larian was working on snappier ending (camp epilogue, and soon to come expanded evil endings).
Exploring the upper city, consequences for the tadpole overuse, the many ending and so on. [/quote] So the epilogue that was scapped and is being replaced with other stuff, and you personally hoping that that game would pay off better some of the big promised choices (techically there are consequnces to using tadpole, like an extra dice roll). It is perfectly fine to be disappointed with finished product, but it doesn't make it unfinished.
And even if Larian wasn't entirely honest with us, and there was plan for pre-end game upper city area that was scrapped - that happens like... all the time? That's all part of development. That some bits of the game aren't great doesn't mean they are unfinished. If Larian planned for upper city and wasn't able to release it for 1.0 that would be unfinished. If Larian decided to scrap upper city during development, than the game not having the upper city is as intended.
ha! I remember when some claimed there won't be a city of Baldur's Gate in the game as that would be too much. Now some cling for hope that an extra district would somehow make the whole thing better

It doesn't. Witcher1&2 got Enhanced Editions, Witcher3 didn't. And it wasn't because CDPR cared less for Witcher3 - it just launched in a much, much better state and didn't need to be rebranded and relaunched. Than Cyberpunk77 came out and it also needed a bit 2.0 rebranding. I do sincerely hope that Larian won't follow the same route, and their next game won't need a relaunch a year of two after it was "completed" for the first time.
Larian has been supporting BG3 for what will soon be a year. Which I think is about the same as they did with D:OS1&2. I mean, I don't even like BG3 that much, but it is bizzare to me that some bring D:OS2 as some kind of beacon of Larian commitment and perfection, while BG3 on launch was so much more ambitious and in such better state than D:OS2 is now. "They remade D:OS2 act3" might seem like a lot, but not when you compare it to what an act means in BG3. If they are working on polishing what they have, that's probably a better time investment, than creating new content that would release with it's own host of new issues.
Yes, Larian designs overambitious 1st act, spends time in EA to test and improve on it, and rest of their games feels like a let down afterwards. That's, I am afraid, a downside of how they develop their games. It gets better everytime, maybe one day they will figure out how to keep the quality up for the entire title.
