Not that much though you have to remember that's only in one province why not the others that you travel to?

The provincial branches of the Thieves Guild seem to be quite separate from each other. For example, in the late Third Era the Cyrodiil branch was led by the Grey Fox, while the newly-founded Vvardenfell branch was led by Gentleman Jim Stacey. It wouldn't make sense, lore-wise or gameplay-wise, to have the Skyrim Thieves Guild expand into another province.

I'd love to see something with the Dwemer, some long forgotten portal that takes you back in time when they were around.

What about something expanding the Forsworn? They're my favorite enemy faction and I would really like more lore and quests about them. Like to be able to join them or to destroy them, expanding off the Forsworn Conspiracy. They would have some interesting lore, and maybe you could venture into their territory more or something.

As for a Thalmor war I think it's one ofthe most obvious paths. Jas anyone else heard of the Snow Prince? That would be very interesting for him to reawaken...

Honestly I'm kind of against it; I like the mystery of not knowing

Oh and what I want to see? Why was the Dragonborn going to Skyrim in the first place? It always bothers me being dropped into the middle of a story like that; who I was seems very important considering the Dovahkiin is like 24 or whatever. What in Sithis' name was I doing for 24 years, sleeping?

I chose a random age by the way I don't know how old he/she is and it seemed reasonable

Giving you a backstory would diminish the roleyplaying experience.

Exactly that's why they don't tell you you make it up yourself that's why the Elder Scrolls is the ES.

Snow Prince... That would be really cool. Maybe the Falmer are resurrecting him in some dwemer ruin?

That's actually not a bad idea. I would love to see something expanding on the lore introduced in Skyrim like this.

What would make them not try to rape your dead body and ask you to join them?

He's buried on Solsthiem, actually. You can loot his corpse in Bloodmoon, the Morrowind expansion.

He has the skeletal structure of a normal Elf or Human, which strongly supports the notion the Falmer were once physically normal and became deformed over centuries.

Not actually his corpse, but his armor and weapons. Curiously, these were buried in a Nord Crypt, which could have an interesting backstory.

What if you returned to Solsthiem? A lot could've happened after the Red Mountain distaster and there could be more Nordic lore with the Skaal, and something about the Snow Prince maybe.

Or maybe the hubbub in Skyrim affected them.

It does have a backstory. Read The Fall Of The Snow Prince.

"And so we brought the body of the Snow Prince, wrapped in fine silks, to a freshly dug barrow. The gleaming armor and spear were presented on a pedestal of honor, and the tomb was arrayed with treasures worthy of royalty. All of the mighty chieftains agreed with this course, that the Elf should be so honored. His body would be preserved in the barrow for as long as the earth chose, but would not be offered the protection of our Stalhrim, which was reserved for Nord dead alone"

What I mean is why the snow elves dug barrows like the Nords.

They didn't. Didn't you read the extract above?

There was no skeleton. Only his armour.
