The plot is great - and I thirst for further BG adventures. I do agree with ZFR on one point, though for different reasons.

By the end of TOB, the characters we play either become Bhaal, or are at such an unreal level that they are on par with Elminster, et al.

As such, a new game would almost require a new generation - otherwise how could it be balanced for new players and old (the same game would have to support level 40 imports from TOB and brand new players, who certainly shouldn't start out with level 40 characters.

Given these considerations, I'd suggest keeping everything the same, except extend the saga to the next generation. Maybe the protagonist is, depending upon race, the progeny of the BGI/BGII series character and his romantic interest - that would fit well with the "about twenty years later" timeline. The kid is just old enough to go out and kick some butt.
