WARNING: LONG READ. PLEASE BEAR WITH ME. I PROMISE YOU IT WILL BE WORTH IT!!!

After completing the main story, did you ever get that feeling that not much changed after you defeated Alduin? I was expecting a huge mob o people running to me and praising me as the killer of the World-Eater. And I was expecting more of the conflict between the dragons and the Blades. Sure you get to kill Paarthurnax (which I did not do) and go on dragon hunts but I wanted more from the dragons' side. Paarthurnax did say he was teaching dragons the Way of the Voice (you can see a friendly dragon flying around the Throat of the World after beating the main quest) and it'd be cool to have a story driven questline with the dragons.

Let's cut to the chase. Here's what I'm proposing:
*The choice you made in killing Paarthunax or not will affect your role in the DLC*
If you killed Paarthunax and joined the Blades, then you continue on your quest exterminating the dragons in addition to recruiting even more Blades (maybe 20+) and establishing more Blades temples. It's be awesome if there was an epic battle with 5+ dragons and dozens of Blades, maybe during a dragon raid against Sky Haven Temple or any of the other Blades temples. When word goes out of the Blades' success and existence, the Thalmor crackdown and wage a small war against the Blades. In an instant the conflict turns into a 3-sided war between the Blades, dragons, and Thalmor. Once you defeat the Thalmor and killed all dragons in Skyrim, the story is set for another DLC where you venture to Akavir, the home of the dragons and where Alduin has also risen more dragons before, and kill all the dragons there (and there will be quests related to the denizens of Akavir).

If you did not kill Paarthunax, you still have a choice of killing him and joining the Blades or siding with the dragons. At first Paarthunax will call for you and he will ask you to choose sides. If you side with the dragons he will ask you to defeat multiple dragons and convince them to learn the Way of the Voice. Once completing that task you return to the Throat of the World where several other dragons, along with the ones you convinced and Odaviing, are congregated around Paarthunax. Here Paarthunax talks about the dragon killings by the Blades and because of the Way of the Voice, he commands that they do not fight back. Several dragons fly away, pretty much saying "this is BS." Paarthunax asks you to talk to Delphine and Esbern and convince them that Paarthunax has converted many dragons to the Way of the Voice and counting. After talking to Delphine and Esbern, they are not swayed and banish you from Sky Haven Temple. After telling the news to Paarthunax, he finally understands that the Blades will stop at nothing and he launches an attack against Sky Haven Temple. He offers you to ride his back and you decimate Sky Haven Temple along with other temples. The Thalmor intervene. Now you get to kill Thalmor and Blades. After defeating them the story is set for the Akavir DLC where you go to convert more dragons to the Way of the Voice.

I know it was a long read, but I hope it was worth it. Thank You!

Please reply!!! I want people to see this!!!

The whole plot of the game revolves around dragons already. It would be a little silly for the DLC to continue revolving around dragons after you ostensibly finished that plotline.

Also, spoiler tags. Use them.

Also also, don't bump your own post after 4 minutes. It'll take people at least that long to read your initial post.

This Khajiit has no interest in the affairs of Dragons and Thalmor pie fingering, nor does she care for the cranky old witch known as Delphine.

Alright thanks for the advice. I'm kinda new to these forums haha! How do you tag?

Only if I can kill Delphine.

I've had dragons spawning left right and centre for the past 100 hours. Something different would be...nice.

And i also wanted this because after completing the main quest I just never felt a sense of closure between the dragons and the Blades. I think there should really be something like this.

Put any spoiler-related text in between these:

(spoiler) spoiler text (/spoiler)

Replace the parentheses with brackets: [ ].

Yes. you get to kill her. Maybe have Paarthunax eat her while he is your mount.

Oh, I forgot.

Any DLC suggestions that involve dragon mounts should be instantly punishable by slapping.

wtf why!?! You just messing with me man?!

Well, thing is, if it's going down in the TES history books, it's going to need a canon ending. And, I'm not sure if you've noticed, but Tsaesci eat humans. Also, a lot of Dragons were driven out of Akavir. There is one extremely large Dragon there, though.

No. I find the idea of riding dragons completely ridiculous in the context of the Elder Scrolls universe.

You do know that the game doesn't end and you're free to roleplay the scenario you describe without a single modification or expansion?

The Tsaesci also wiped out all of the Black Dragons in Akavir. Tosh Raka transformed himself into a Dragon somehow, but i don't see his future looking all that good, considering the Tsaesci have already proven themselves more than capable of killing Dragons. Considering the Tsaesci are "immortal" due to their Vampiric nature, i'd be willing to bet that a number of them are still around that actually have first hand experience slaying a dragon.

Anyways, the Blades wouldn't stand a chance in a Blades vs Dragons War, considering their's only two Blades left. Not to mention if the Dragons are anything like what's in the "Deadly Dragons" mod. I doubt even 20+ Blades could take down a single Dragon then.

I like the ideas for both aside from going to Akavir. Don't want to go there yet.

I want the first DLC I want (not expansion) is to expand on the College and Companions questlines since they are so short, as well as fix the dialogue like, "So you're the new Companion. So what do you do. fetch the mead?" Especially since I am the Harbinger... Things like that.

After that nuisance is taken care of, I want something involving Skyrim vs. the Thalmor, like the first part of the Second Great War (in future games the war could continue in the background, but not in High Rock, Hammerfell, Morrowind or Cyrodiil unless it is in expansions). I really want to dominate the Thalmor.

Dragon-based expansion would be third on this list, and I like yours, despite the need for it to be a bit more fleshed out with plot twists and whatnot

Not saying your ideas are bad but they're a little too expansive for DLC. Maybe wrapping up the Thalmor could be handled in an expansion but traveling to Akavir, for the first time leaving the continent of Tamriel, that would require an entirely new game to properly do justice.

But just the Blades versus Dragons I could see being done. The ending was very lacking in resolution on that front. I could see DLC filling the void, perhaps even purposely left lacking for that very reason.

My game didn't end. I bet yours didn't either. Have you done the Blades questline?

It's a nice idea, only three problems.

1. I think we are all sick of dragons.

2. Alduin is the only "evil" one so continuing to kill them makes you the bad guy.

3. Akavir should NOT be a DLC. It should be TES VI.

I'm hoping the new expansion would have less dragons and less Draugr, and more of anything BUT those two.

Well not ending proves my point about lacking resolution don't you think? I haven't done it since I don't want to kill Paarthunax but I've read about it.

couldn't be more wrong, if Alduin was the only evil one dragons would stop attacking after his death.

this isn't how to train your dragon, this is The World Of The Elder scrolls, Where all dragons are "evil" in nature

I think that's a stupid glitch in the game though. Paarthunax himself says that Alduin (their king) has been leading them to evil ways. The fact they keep attacking makes no sense, even if they're evil they act like the killing of their leader meant nothing at all.
