He's not carrying a shield, gladius, or javelin.

I also don't understand why it has to be the same Watcher from the first game, it's not like watchery is a unique trait only s/he has, if it's absolutely necessary for the PC to be a Watcher. The "BG2 did it" justification is very poor.
Pelts = oonga-boonga tribesmen? Hardly:
They've been pushing the BG angle since the first game (and its "The legend continues" ending slide), I honestly never even thought they would do the sequel with a different PC.
I wouldn't know what to call that weapon at all, some kind of spear-sword, lol?
Its been a whole since I played PoE, what happened to Eothas again that would prevent him from coming back? He was killed by the godhammer right?
But it doesn't make sense, it's very contrived. Not only is Eothas returning (which I hate), but it just happens to be in the statue under your keep and it just happens to suck your soul out.
In BG the Bhaalspawn thing had to inevitably lead to a sequel, it had a sequel hook.
Even better, I would've made it so you can choose which region of the Archipelago you are from and make DA:O style prologues for each one.
You can be the oonga-boonga spear-swordman if you want to!
oonga-boonga
Ok, oonga-boonga Savannah spearman, but with a bear pelt. I guess bears are plentiful in the DESERT at that time of year.
That you have to figure out what being a Bhaalspawn is and, yeah, finding others because they might have the same idea as Sarevok.
PoE1 has nothing to do with Eothas or the Saint's War (only its fallout in Eder and Durance), so they aren't continuing Eothas' story from the first game, let alone the PC's in the context of Eothas, since there is no connection between the two at all.
Also, I'm not complaining about the oonga-boonga people, lol, where are you getting that from?
It looks more like a glaive to me, Asians especially were find of blades on sticks.
Highly unlikely, since the 2 highest available talents / spells aren't attainable for multiclasses. I would imagine (hope) that level 19 or 20 talents have something pet / shapeshift related to bolster their power.

Yes but I mean not counting specific talents. In the druid talent tree you can see that there are 9th or 9th level talents linked to the shapeshift that are unatainable by a multi class character. But I mean would the default (excluding any talents or abilities) pet for example be less powerful for multi class ranger?
Given the completeness of the story, you resolve basically any conflicts you personally had and come to terms with your Watcher powers, I'd say that ship has sailed. You failed to write a story in which the main gimmick has a point and is utilized to its full potential (even though it was a shitty idea from the start)? Tough luck, move on, create a better story and a different protagonist. "Hone your Watcher powers" is too vague a motivation and can be applied to every story ever. "Oh, after I escaped captivity as a slave from my master, I began to hone my skills." "Oh, after we defeated the barbarian incursion, I stayed in their lands to hone my skills." etc. etc. Not that it's not an understandable motivation, but it's cheap and it doesn't have a clear end goal. And, again, could've been another Watcher.Your Watcher status was so underused in the first one (barring a few cool moments in TWM), that you could make the same case as that - you continue to hone your Watcher powers.
The Eothas thing was always a big background mystery in PoE1, it was obvious that, if there was ever a sequel, they would return to it.
After defeating Thaos - and considering how much narrative focus was given to all the godly shenanigans - it was the biggest plot point that was still left dangling.
He comes back under your keep out as revenge for kidnapping the baby orlan, who actually turns out to be Eothas's wife's son. Baby's name is Soul.While there isn't any lore reason for him to not come back, it still invalidates and trivializes the Saint's War and makes Eothas' death cheap. He should've stayed dead for, you know, dramatic tension and stakes. I hope it doesn't turn into comic-book style death-as-revolving-door thing. There is a lore reason to be housed in the statue, however, as it's made of adra and can contain a soul. He didn't HAVE to return in this manner, but eh.
