There's quite a few interesting comments here. There's no doubt from the ending that there's going to be a sequal. Firstly they probably wouldn't need to have hugely stronger monsters. The dragons in Bg2 were very weak for dragons so they can power them up for a start and they could have allies or young dragons protecting them. As has been mentioned there are also no giants. Try fighting a dozen strength twenty two fire giants. You'll probably not level up very much in a sequel as you'll need so much experience, they won't need such a wide range of monsters in terms of levels. According to the story Bhaal spawned children as a way for him to return from the death. When all the children are killed he can return. Sarevok wanted to start a war so he could harness all the deaths and become the new lord of murder. Those cowled people are probably old worshipers of Bhaal and they are now worried that you are too strong to kill and will become the new lord of murder. The games so far have been about your character fighting his blood so to speak and not giving in to evil and that will no doubt continue. The Town criers in BG2 are always talking about some other war and rebellion going on and this could likely be followed up either in an expansion or a new game. Your character must choose whether to use this war to his advantage as Sarevok tried or stop the war and choose to live on as a mortal. Remember your divinity and power comes from an evil source so the good thing to do is not use that pwer and stay a mortal. You'd probably have Bhaal worshippers, other children of Bhaal and harpers all hunting you down. There could be worshippers of Cyric ironically trying to keep you alive, if all the children die Bhaal comes back and challenges Cyric. Better to have someone less powerful and evil ascend to godhood.
