I've found a couple of places that seem like they 'should' be something, but aren't.
Example: close to solitude, on your way to the Thalmor embassy, there is a set of old nord steps and partial ruins going off to the northwest. But they go...........nowhere. They seem to dead end into a granite cliff face. Why?
Also - there's a pass going south thru the mountains from Winterhold to the March. Not only is there an altar in the pass that doesn't seem to have any reason for being there, but on the mountain to the east, all the way on top, is some sort of Dwemer........thing. I don't know if it's a viewing balcony, an altar, a place where they use to have a sun deck, spa and bar with little drinks with the little paper umbrellas or plastic mermaids in them...........WHATEVER. It's there, and doesn't seem to serve any obvious purpose.
Another: there's an Akatosh shrine in the southeast corner of the East March, on a stony hill just inside the geyser plain area. Unmarked on the map, but there. Why?
YET ANOTHER: A dwemer ruin in the far eastern mountains that appears to be like any other, but instead leads to something that I won't talk about - suffice it to say that you'll never forget it. But it's very uncharacteristic of Dwemer stuff. What's the deal?
I could go on.
There's LOTS that could still be done with the various ruins, caves, crypts and stuff in Skyrim. TONS. It's DLC HEAVEN for modders.
