I would like a war against the Thalmor. Maybe either you fight for the Thalmor, or if you finished either the Stormcloaks or the Imperial civil war quest lines, fight against them. As of right now, they are just a sort of constant reminder in the game. The Moot should be a part as well, with the Dragonborn being present (just like with the Season Unending).
Build your own house. Maybe put them in the other holds. Choose the architecture (from the homes already in game, and new ones like ancient Nord and Dwemer), choose the play style (mage, thief, warrior), and you can "hire" your followers to become bodyguards to your house (instead of being given a housecarl for just being the thane). Mage style houses would have more soul gems (filled, of course), a special garden that housed plants that make potions, more bookshelves, a staff forge, and more of a mystical decorum. Thieves would have a garden filled with poisonous plants, be darker looking, more containers, a torture room, and a security system. Warriors would have more mannequins, shield plagues, weapon plagues, display cases, and one more hireable guard.
Add in Goldbrand, the golden katana. It has appeared in Morrowind and Oblivion, and deserves a resurfacing. Maybe it can be part of a quest line that can prevent you from killing Paarthunax and proof of overcoming his evil nature.
A visit to Hircine's Hunting Grounds. Kodlak's Harrowing could be a driving force on it as well. Make it a reletively difficult place to fight in, as everything is in a need to survive there.
More people to marry. I know some would call out for Serana, but the Khajiit and Wood Elves could do for some love as well. Maybe dip into the follower pool and open some marriage option for them, or more quest givers. Pop a few of the Jarls as well, but keep them living in their default house instead of being able to move. Instead of a shop, they give you some of the offerings or a slice of the taxes.
More hair options, eye options, scar options, and war paint options to the races.
