I love the idea, but I think the cutscenes would be tough. I would prefer the original cut scene to remain, however after the Ravens Cove Quest, I could see us visiting Tia Dalma, where she discusses the past of Jolly Roger and then sends us of to visit Jolly Roger Island (be sure to check it out in the wiki- http://piratesonline.wikia.com/wiki/Jolly_Roger's_Island) Where we inveestigate the past and learn how Jolly Roger came to be, and eventually it leads to a drawn out questline where we eventually defeat him
 
As much as I like the idea I wouldn't want to see the original Main story quest go. However, maybe they could implement both!
 
If I make some decent quest editor tools, it should be possible to have a lot of quests. I don't know what the status of cutscene development or playback is though.
 
I had always assumed that the secret dock in the back of Kingshead and the tunnel from there under the fort was intended to be part of a Chapter where the Pearl crew had to either break in or out of the prison.

There's so much of Kingshead that was unfinished. Very tragic.

The armoury, the keep, etc. all could be populated with new NPCs and maybe even merchants.

Also the original Beckett's Quarry had several areas blocked off by rock walls but you could slip inside to a couple of other caverns. Your guess is as good as mine what they were for.
