I want you guys to post up what you think DLCs are coming up and why.

I personally think that they are going to do some sort of minor return to morrowind. Why do i think this? Because i keep seeing the book about the ruins of Kemel-Ze. This was a book that returned from morrowind, and morrowind had a million books, why did they choose this one to return? I think there may be a small trip to mainland morrowind to the legendary ruins of Kemel-Ze.

Another DLC theory for me is Orisinium and or Wrothgarian mountains. Why? Because so far the orcs havent really had their own thing, and i have been seeing a lot of orisinium references returning. I think that there may be a DLC that that has you go into the wrothgarian mountains west of skyrim where orsinium is located. I can see a small new landmass that is reachable by going west from falkreath.

Also theres the possibility of a vigilant of stendarr questline and perhaps a morag tong questline. (theres a guy in the thieves guild that says he was in the morag tong and all of the morag tong dispersed and went their seperate ways but one day they would reuinite to form again)

Anyway, those are my ideas, what do you guys think?

I think it will be a totally new storyline, and won't have anything to do with any of the current storylines or guild questlines. You won't have to have reached a certain part of the MQ for it to become available. I can't see them making a DLC pack and saying you can only play it once you've become the archmage.

It will probably work like any other dungeon that's open straight after you get out of Helgen, and it will just take a load screen to get to it.

It'll certainly be a new story, I can't speculate much more since we have virtually no info to base a theory.

I'm hoping for a Vilgent of Stendar questline, or something. D: I'd like for them to at least hunt the player down if they're a vampire/wolf or deadra champion? (Maybe only for the meaner quests that require killing non-hostile npcs?)

A lot of books returned from Morrowind eg Mysterious Akavir. They're a part of the world, there won't be DLC set in all of them.
I wouldn't be surprised if there is a Vigilants of Stendarr DLC. If so I hope that means we'll get a few more varieties of Daedra to summon and/or fight.
I hope you're right about Orsinium. Be a great setting for an expansion.

If the rumors are true, which I have a feeling they very well could be, the first DLC is gonna be set in Hammerfell, and we'll be able to ride dragons. The other two major DLCs are going to be in Cyrodiil and Morrowind (Why else would they put them in-game?)

It's going to be a continuation of the Civil War questline. At least I hope it is.

I hadn't even considered this. I would love to see some DLC that looks like this though!

I actually hope that it expands the playable world. Add in locations, or parts there of, that have already been explored in previous TES games. Sure it's a lot of memory, but an expanding world would actually be kind of cool.

One fatal flaw with the whole "riding dragons" talk, the dragons have just appeared recently. It would take time and trial to tame dragons; at least it should.

I think it would be cool to use the time wound to go back in time 30 years to the great war.

I hope that at least one Dlc would be settled elsewhere (Hammerfel,High Rock or Morrowind - or why not the most interesting Summerset Isles)

Another good idea would be "goin' back in time" like you said DragonSoulEater,but i think that in this case would be more interesting gone "far back" :

i.e. in 4 E 122, when Winterhold was a "great city" and still "entire" ,being personally involved in the "infamous" events of that time and subsequently try to find the reason of the "great collapse" - and why not in the meantime travelling to Morrowind ruined by the Volcano eruption for "related reasons"

This would be great in my opinion; of course with Helgen and the Windhelm arena still "alive" without the dragons,and most of all a different point of view even on the same game world that would be fascinating.

p.s. you see,its not so difficult after all create a challenging story in a simple videogame

if Bethesda want i can write the dialogue lines for them in a few days in my sparetime; i sincerely think that even for me would be difficult done worst than Skyrim in that regard
with all due respect to the writers of the game of course

I wouldn't be surprised about something totally new, like helping some resistance fighters in Valenwood or what used to be Elsweyr. Or help the college of Winterhold with some experiment that is determined to fail and accidently teleport you to Yokuda or Pyandonea or Thras or something weird.

For modders they said

dragons are intelligent creatures so what training? Be my mount or I eat your soul

Well I'll jump in.... I think a questline in which you help restore Talos to prominance in Skyrim would be a good story.

1.) It follows Lore.

2.) It pertains only to Skyrim.

3.) It would not interfere with any quest already in the game.

4.) It would set up a confrontation with the Thalmor.

5.) It involves a God so it could involve a God-Powerful Enemy to defeat.

6.) You could be bestowed powerful weapons or magic as reward by Talos or the Enemy because they are powerful.

7.) There is a built-in Good (Help Talos/Nords) or Evil (Help Enemy/Thalmor) choice to make it interesting.

I'd say it interfere with the civil war.

something with the psijic order involved maybe the isle of arteum and the eye of magnus.

i want those bloody robes and to join the order.

You know another interesting one would be a guild expander. Like a DLC that expands all the existing guilds with storyline continuation(only available after you beat the corrosponding faction).
For example;

The mages guild would get a storyline that had to do with the joining of the psijic order and continue from the end of the mages guild storyline. You may get to see the psijic's island and get that as a new headquarters with a teleport spell to take you to and from.

The Thieves guild would get something like a continuation of the nightengales - karliah mentions that you will be called back to the twilight sepulcher to defend it in times of need in the game. Perhaps a person gets inside the sepulcher and you're called back to defend and you arrive too late only to find the person(s) have made their way into nocturnals realm. You then might get a small portion where you actually go into nocturnals badass realm for a couple quests and try and stop the antagonist(s).

The Companions could get some continuation that has to do with Hircine and or Ysgramar. Kodlak mentions that the werewolf part of the companions was only in the recent few hundred years and that it is not the way of the original companions that were created by ysgramar. You could somehow get a questline where you are trying to break Hircine's hold over the companions and you may get the help of Ysgramars spirit to help you return the companions to its former glory. You could also conceivably put an alternate storyline for this that you help Hircine fully claim the companions by making every one in the companions werewolves.

The Dark brotherhood could get a continuation that has to do with building up the guild. The antagonist could concievably be the ancient old Morag Tong. -(there is a member of the thieves guild who says he was part of the Tong and they dispersed and all went their seperate ways. He also said that there they made a pact to come together once again and reform the morag tong and that time was soon approaching)- The Morag Tong has been an ancient old enemy of the brotherhood. The brotherhood actually used to be a part of the morag tong in days of old. You may be able to get some sort of choice of either eliminating the morag tong or maybe even making them an ally or having some sort of truce with them. Either way, Mephala could be a possible antagonist here.

The Bards College - hell i dont know maybe get the ability to play instruments that give some sort of buffs/debuffs?

Civil War - Maybe just a tieing up of loose ends after the civil war, or perhaps a battle with thalmor agents. Either way i didnt think of too much for these guys because IMO the civil war quests were the weakest most shallow questlines in the game, and arent even really questlines as much as "clear out 5 forts, and fight an "army" of 20 guys at the end"

But all of this could be one DLC that gives a questline for each faction (thats about the length of the vanilla questlines) that is only available after the completion of each faction.

Why? Talos is worshiped elswhere in the Empire.

But that is not a threat that some regduards in Hammerfell will pose. They are not dragonborn, thus all they can do is to physically kill the dragon and temporarily halt the soul.

No he's not. Does the White-Gold Concordat ring a bell? Its not allowed anywhere. One of Ulfrics primary gripes against the empire is the treaty outlawed the worship of Talos.

Which means absolutely nothing and is completely irrelevant. He said "we'd ride dragons" Not they, not someone. He said we the players who take the role of a dragonborn with the ability to permanently halt the soul of a dragon.

Teaser for DLC announcement tommorow?

If I'm wrong, I'll admit that.

But I distinctively remember, from the questionable leak, that there would be a faction of dragon riders in Hammerfell. So if we're going to be literal here, to me a faction implies several individuals, not to mention that riders is plural for rider, which again implies and means only one. So no, there won't be any riders, unless the guys and gals of Bethesda are stoned out of their minds.

Except no one mentioned that leak, not on this topic. He was talking about the dragonborn riding dragons.
