Hey guys I heard that Bethesda softworks was going to put more time and effort into their DLC for Skyrim. I've been thinking about what I would want to see for DLC in Skyrim and all I've come up with is an arena. Sure it's been done before but I think it would be really cool. One thing that they could do to make it feel new is add an online arena where you can go one on one against your buddies. I don't know if it's possible to do something like that in a DLC but if they could it would be Awesome. Let me know some of y'alls ideas for DLC that y'all would like and if you think that my idea is any good or even possible.

Stalhrim Armor

This may be far-fetched, but whatever new map they add, with 4 player co-op

Eh. MP just doesn't jive with TES. Too much freedom to create. Maybe on the consoles, but on PC, it'd have to be vanilla characters designed for just that purpose, or modded stats, perks, and what have you would make it pointless.

I don't think you will find many people who want multiplayer(Iam one of them) not that it's a bad idea.

Idk, I could see it happening like a borderlands kind of thing. But that's just me.

I don't think that co-op would be a viable route for mp but a 1 v 1 room where you could just go at your friend would be able to work with like a round system for potions and stuff, but the truth is I just want a way to prove to my friend that my character could beat his. Also, i think that a Thalmor quest line would be an awesome DLC.

Summerset Isles.

Maybe for the Thalmor questline, another war w/ the Aldmeri Dominion would be pretty interesting. That may be thinking too big though.

That's exactly what I was thinking. You could either fight them or join them.

i'd definitely like to see something happen with the Thalmor questline. I'd also like to something done to make the dragon souls have different purposes. Not sure what they could do with the dragon souls, but maybe like using them for some unique enchantments on items.

First off..

COMIC SAAAAANNNNNNSS!!!

Anyways I really don't want to go to another Province for DLC. Well I do, but I don't want that to be the big selling point. I'd much rather have it to be based around the Thalmor. Sure we could take the fight to their province or something but I want it to be more than just "Here's Morrowind!"

For the love of Talos, do not include online content in any future ES series releated games... please and thank you.

By the nine, why not?

If they do not upgrade this with a patch, I hope they'll at least include Role-playing and system improvements for their next DLC.
These improvements can be found with mods, but I rather see these in Vanilla as I hate having to download tons of mods that slows down the performance and bugs up the game.
My ideas can basically be divided into a role-playing and game improvements categories...

RPG improvements
The great thing with Skyrim is that they've managed to improve the sense that you live in the world of Skyrim instead of just playing it - by having the time flow even if you talk to people, or seeing your character work at the enchanting table while crafting items. Off course there could be a lot more to improve this experience...

My suggestions are meant to improve and promote the role-playing within the game, but in mind that some of these functions should be optional for player to activate or deactivate whenever they wish.

Re-design of the waiting system.
Instead of being able to wait whenever the player wish, they should need to sit down on a chair, stool or a bench - only then can they activate the wait function.
Optional is that they can wait while standing, but up to a very limited time-frame (example: max 2 hours). This is to make sitting down to have some sort of function and to add a bit of role-playing as it seems odd that someone would stand still at one spot hours at end.

Re-design of the sleeping system.
Instead of interacting with a bed which enables the sleep function to appear - When players interact with a bed their character lays down instead (function similar to the way players sits in chairs,) and when pressing the button that normally enables the wait function, the sleep function appears instead. This would improve the role-playing as the player feels more immersed into the world.

Optional function for fast travel.
As of now the player can fast travel to any location that has been visited before.
an optional re-design for this is to deny fast travel if the player is on foot. However if the player is mounted on a horse the fast travel option is available. But to make travelling manageable for those who prefer walking or suffered the loss of their beloved horse, there should be more wagons around that you can pay to travel with - one for every small village for example.

Eating and drinking animation.
When a player is sitting down, why not enable some drinking and eating animations to improve the experience. If the player decides to eat or drink any food or mead while sitting down, the last eaten food or drink will trigger an animation where you see the character eating the stew or drinking the drink for a small period of time. This would improve the Role-playing experience a lot!

The need of sleep and food.
This was executed in Fallout New Vegas (however poorly in my opinion, sorry,) and should be enabled in Skyrim as well. The player will see a sleep and hunger gauge that tells the level of hunger and tiredness. If any of them runs low the player are forced to eat or sleep in order to manage peak performance. Cooked food fills the hunger bar and (optional,) all cooked food needs to be eaten while sitting down.

Sleeping for only a few hours wont fill the sleeping gauge. Sleeping for 8 - 10 hours should be sufficient to fill the sleeping gauge (optional,) and sleeping for 24 hours may grant extra sleep effect. This would make the need for sleep and need for food more relevant and would force the player to once in a while visit the inn to regain his strength.

Game improvements
Some of systems that are in place needs to be improved a great deal and some even re-imagined in my point of view. As I noted before, there are mods to fix this but I rather see Bethesda improve this in their vanilla version.

Horses needs to be improved.
Com'on they're horses they should be able to sprint longer than they currently do, and why do a horse want to be in a fight. In my personal experience with horses they rather flee than join up on a fight. I suggest that their cowardly behaviour is promoted much more. Most hostile things attack my horse for no reason, I get that wolfs, bears and other hostile animals may attack my horse, but why hostile npc's?

The horses are wearing satchels on their saddles, I promote that they can be used for storage (up to a certain carrying limit off course,) Enable a storage space on the horses, and if the horses gets killed the items can be looted like any other corpse.

And finally the most important function that I believe should be added - the ability to call upon your horse. I've seen this in many games and I believe this should be added here as well. Enable a button that allows the player to call upon a player-owned horse which teleports near your area and runs up to you ready to be mounted!

Quick menu re-imagination.
I'm truly sorry but the quick menu system is terrible...
No ability to sort and enable dividers for the selected favourites within the menu, no ability to add several weapons, gears and magic's to one hot-key. An endless scrolling to try to find everything.

Please redo this one. The player should be able to sort the menu in the way they want it, put up dividers and most importantly, be able to enable hot-keys so that we can - for example press the "1"-key and one type of sword equips in the right hand and another sword in the left hand.

If my grammar isn't the best please note that English is not my native language.

Extentions and more of a storyline to Theifs guild, college of winterhold, dark brotherhood, the companions, new armor, possibly dragon wepons, the beginning of a big war between the thalmor and well, the newly found nord nation of skyrim(unless your an imperial, idk help them wipe out the remaining resistance)
