I feel like it was a missed opportunity with the civil war questline. I just really want some sort of big open battlefield sige-like quests. Where you can be attacking or defending huge castles with wall archers, catapults, trebuchets, and ballistas. Or just open battlefields with 30to 50 npcs.

That would have been really cool, and that's what I was expecting of it at first. It's probably not possible though because the consoles can't handle that many npc's at one time.

but you may never know, software is always getting better and we are finding ways to make theses opinions come to life. so dont count it out yet and just wait till we go against the elves later on(spoiler)

Maybe that is how its going to be in the dlc eith the vamp dawngaurd battle but I doubt it
