Yeah...I'm pretty much at that point when it comes to more Skyrim content...

If those smaller freebies include awesome new houses like in Oblivion, I will be a very happy man.

But this is good news either way. It's nice to see a return of expansions instead of dishing out your life savings in return for a recoloured weapon or two.

I'm REALLY REALLY HOPING that they will put out a new Province with every "expansion" until the WHOLE OF TAMRIEL exists in one GIANT GAME. But you know... probably not.

I can hope though, right?

As long as they are like the shivering isles expansion I will be happy, that dlc had a great story and really cool new stuff.

I think the civil war was wrapped up enough, unless they do one where the Thalmor invade full force and both the legion and stormcloaks or whoevers left have to fend them off.

I would mostly like to see a Daedra DLC like the Shivering Isles, have something involving Vaermina or Molag Bal.

If not that then I think expanding on the Dwemer would be cool, have some what of a portal that takes you to where they are or went, whether it be a place or time. For those that played its expaniding of "Arniel's Endavour"

Continuing the tradition from Morrowind/Oblivion then - hurray!

DLC should be a method of delivery, not an excuse to make a worthlessly insignificant piece of content.

Sounds good to me. I'd like to leave Skyrim myself. Perhaps go into other territories since they're already in the game. Maybe deal a crushing blow to the Thalmor, or find a hint as to what happened to the Dwarves. Oh! Or find some snow elves! There are so many things they could do, so many mysteries they could answer. I can't wait for these DLCs.
You can find what happened to the Dwemer in Morrowind and Tribunal. There's a lot of books and records of what happened during the Fight at Red Mountain. Also the snow elves are already in Skyrim... they are just called in an elvish name instead of a human name.

Same here, there's a mod in alpha now about the falmer, but I wonder what Bethesda could do with an involved Falmer/Dwemer expansion.

Snow Elves are already in Skyrim, they're called Falmer and they don't like you.
I know that part, which is why I want to find actual Snow Elves. I think it'd be a fun story to suddenly discover a small band of them living in hiding, disgusted by what their race has become, but too afraid to show themselves to the outside world. A lost culture and everything.

Play Morrowind. Explains everything but the final piece of the puzzle, which most fans, including me, would rather be kept secret forever.
Do tell! I play on consoles, so there's pretty much no chance of me ever getting my hands on Morrowind. Or is it something I can read in the wiki? I check that once, but I couldn't really find any evidence as to what happened.

Morrowind actually got released on the original Xbox and PS2. Just be prepared to deal with substantial load times; I read entire books during my experimentation with the console versions.

If you're still not interested, here's the short version:

The Dwemer were experimenting with the Heart of Lorkhan, which was the literal heart of the long-dead god responsible for the creation of the mortal plane. When the stronghold where they found it was threatened by an army of Dunmer (who were called the Chimer back then I think; long story) the chief scientist went into full-on crisis mode, tried to use the heart for some unknown purpose, and wound up giving the universe a rounding error and deleting the Dwemer from existence.

So basically, the Dwemer are gone. No drawn out war, no slow degradation of their civilization, just one guy dicking around with a dead god's internal organs and the entire race vanishes in the middle of breakfast. The only thing left unexplained is where exactly they went: somewhere else in Mundus, somewhere else entirely, or nowhere at all.

Quality DLC, huh? C'mon Thalmor war! Like I need a reason to kick the crap out of those racist Aldmeri assholes. They're just as bad as the Nords, but at least the Nords respect you when you prove you can rip a dragon's skull out of it's throat. Ooh, or, let us learn to craft our own shouts. That would be sweet.

Want to find out more about the Dwarves? Play Morrowind.

As for me, I only want three things from DLC:

1) To be able to go to the Summerset Isles and kick the shit out of the Thalmor.
2) For the storage bugs in Proudspire Manor to be fixed.
3) DRAGON WEAPONS!

I don't think Skyrim needs any DLC or "expansions" anyways. The game is huge and immersive, and the mods (now put in plain sight on Steam) act to add those little touches like interface changes.
Well that seems a little unfair to console players who don't get the mods. I'm sure they appreciate expansions.

DLC 1: Elsweyr
DLC 2: Valenwood
DLC 3: Summerset Isles
East to West, kicking Thalmor butt all the way through.
That would be legendary.

I wish. Nah, only PC and Xbox. Morrowind save files on an 8MB PS2 memory card? In your dreams... :p

That's actually how Arena, the first game, was. Of course, the graphics are shit compared to today, and there really wasn't a whole lot of variety, but you could trek around the whole of Tamriel if you wanted to.

Now, a remake of Arena? That would be fucking awesome.

You clearly don't remember horse armor.

Or Operation: Anchorage.

I remember when expansion packs were practically games unto themselves. I just hope they don't go crazy with pricing.
