I prefer to have the ability to choose the number of party members: from just me to the number of the Fellowship of the Ring. Solo mode for building up an outstanding character, "Fellowship" to have great banters at the expense of having high level characters.
As for races, I don't expect more than what we had in DoS1&2.
As for me, I expect Larian to follow its standardized route now, no proper innovations or risks on their part are to be expected. That's the third game they made with the same settings while before they used to change.
