I also think magic was an oversight a huge mistake considering this is a game series that began with spell creation and that allowed you access to great options and depth in customizing your mages spells that suit your play style and your character and that even opened up even more avenues for roleplaying.

All of that is just with spell creation and then look at the spells we used to have I just want the spells we had since Morrowind I talked to a few other people and Daggerfall level spells might be to difficult to implement into the current games, but in Skyrim imagine the versatility we could have with mages, spell creation, duel casting, runes, thrower spells, and all of the spells since Morrowind I would be great with the magic system.

With what we have now it feels gutted a shell of what it once was.

I hope this DLC is centered around PYROMANCE…...

Setting things on fire with your mind, villages, people around you… forests...

Burn it all down!!!

A solid magic overhaul wouldn't hurt, that's for sure, but at this point it's anyones guess. I do find it strange though, that Esbern speaks of hearth and dawn in his speech at :56 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNTLmojoWw4

It's almost like Beth is setting up for something... which is strange, and unlike them. lol, only time will tell.

what else does he speak about? (can't go to vid during weekdays due to damn internet filter)

I wonder if it will be about the Dunmer...

Come on guys, let's start tearing this word apart and seeing if we can find Dwemer in there somewhere! Woohoo!

New thought, this must be about the giant mud crabs!

Let's use those gates at the borders, shall we? Let us see west Morrowind or a tiny bit of Hammerfell. BLACKLIGHT!
Political intrigues and factions. The empire is collapsing, perfect time for an ambitious Dragonborn to emerge

As random as it seems, I realized today that I would love to have a pet bear as a companion.

That supports my theory of the DLC being about a Lich... Liches do raise the dead which is conjuration, correct?

But , IIRC, the conjuration in the skill book isn't about raising the undead so that link would be tenuous.

I hope for the future of Skyrim that this next DLC is magic related. A magic overhaul is needed so badly, playing a mage is Skyrim is so boring and predictable with the same spells.

Alter of Spell making please.
More daedra conjurations also.

I want hearthfire to include a part of another province. With new cities,villages,caves,dungeons etc.. all that stuff,a new landmass.

YEs please<3

Hearthfire - A unholy heat wave has plagued skyrim and only you dovahkiin can save them, my finding the legendary SPF 20 sun cream?

Still Conjuration though. And it would also help bring in more magic and prolly improve Magic since Liches are all about Magic.

You mean an expansion based entirely around cooking?

How COOL!

Do we get new recipes?

Can we get recipes that don't involve salt? It's really bad to have so much salt in your diet.

;-)

Fair enough. I think some improvements to magic would definitely be a good idea.

Hm.. Dawnguard is improving other aspects of the game so what is Hearthfire is about a Lich and the improvements in it will be on Magic? It all connects pretty well and magic improvements is prolly most wanted thing atm, since many others are being fixed in Dawnguard...

I hope my theory is correct cause I want to fight an epic Lich!

There's also a Dragonborn trademark filed to, could be anything of course with that name but it could be dlc focused more on the Dragonborn after the main quest. Something to do with Talos, he was the first confirmed dragonborn, another event that the dragonborn plays a big part. Now the hearth fire sounds really interesting dont know what it could be.

Anyone remember the months in which we started in Oblivion and Morrowind?

I just have a feeling this will be related to the Imperials (the politics and such) and also a strong emphasis on magic (maybe we will get new spells?), based on reading the 2920 book and just the general feeling I get from the word "Hearthfire"

Obviously from the name this will transform Skyrim from an RPG to a "people" simulation game where you build homes, make families, have children, work a daily job and fight werewolves. It'll be called Hearthfire: The Skysims.

:evil

I'm thinking a DLC based on fleshing out magic.

Maybe it will be argonian history month?
