Just because something has been done in the past doesn't mean something new can turn up with the previously seen characters again. There's nothing really preventing another trip to the Shivering Isles really and I know I wouldn't mind a new spin on the realm of madness, personally.

I'd really like to get another look at Mephala most of all, after their daedric quest in oblivion with the two clans.

nooooo. I'm so tired of daedric princes. We just came off a whole game based around a daedric prince, with an expansive DLC based on a daedric prince, and then got another huge DLC in skyrim involving a daedric prince. There are so many other elements of lore they can expand on without involving daedric princes. That's one of the reasons I'm hoping for atmora, so we can learn more about the lore surrounding the Nedes and hopefully giants. I feel like Orsinium would undoubtedly involve Malacath, and I don't want any more DLCs with daedric princes for now.

Elder Scrolls games have always, in some way involved one Daedric Prince or another, especially with DLC/expansion packs. They exist as the antagonists of Nirn, as the are the "Blood of Padomay"--the "forces of change". So, most major story-lines in TES tend to revolve around them, in some way/shape/form. I see your point, in that it's a similar formula each time, but it's not the inclusion of the Daedra in the stories that cause the recycled plots.

Though to be honest, it might be that's it's more obvious in oblivion and skyrim. I don't recall Morrowind, Arena, or Daggerfall being entirely about a daedric prince ripping some region a new one.

Did morrowind revolve around a Daedric prince? I guess you could argue that Bloodmoon vaguely involved Hircine. But really Oblivion is the only game (Not including Battlespire) where the majority of the storylines center on Daedric princes. So I would say that point is kind of invalid.

Arena and Redguard are the only two titles which did not have any obvious/blatant Daedric involvement (either through the vanilla game or through expansion/extra content), really. Oblivion stands as the only title whose vanilla MQ involves a Daedric Prince, but the rest each have at least one expansion in which one of them is the main antagonist.

I'm only recalling Morrowind's Bloodmoon expansion, Oblivion and Shivering Isles and now dragonborne as the only times when a Daedric Prince was in a primary role. Everywhere else they're the subject of side quests or faction quests... I think. Can't speak on Daggerfall, or Arena though.

Sorry. Just going to quote myself. Only thing to add is that Battlespire was originally intended to be Daggerfall's expansion.

Well Azura plays a fairly large role in Morrowind. You are sort of her champion.

Eh, since the main objective of dispatching Dagoth Ur can be completed without making contact with any daedric princes I tend to not consider them as centered in the questline as say Hircine or Hermaeus Mora in Bloodmoon and Dragonborn.

Okay here are the couple of DLC ideas i would like :

1- as i posted earlier, a New Orsinium DLC : involving a conflict between Giants and Orcs, could add in new Orcish weaponry, expand upon orcish and giantish culture, could possibly involve Malacath as the ''Resident DLC Daedra'', and would open up a location to the west of Skyrim, somewhere in far eastern High Rock

2- a trip to Artaeum : would involve the Isle appearing somewhere on the sea of ghosts having been transported there by the psijic monks so as to bring the dovahkiin to them for an as of yet unknown reason, could open new lore on the Psijic monks, as well as give us great new magical abilities, would allow us to see a climate that is completely different to anything in Skyrim, with Tropical beaches and such

oh ... well thats what i think they should do

How about this: an Orsinium DLC heavily involving the Thalmor wherein the Artaeum appears in the sky ala Umbriel in The Infernal City, or just in some deserted region of Orsinium. The Psijics, the Thalmor, and possibly others, like the Empire, are fighting for Orsinium's soul, and maybe some Orcs are trying not to choose any side. The player's actions decides who wins.

I would really like more building / customization / follower options like we got in Hearthfire. Also more potential followers, and npcs in general to freshen things up.

And I crave a Banish Dragon shout. Bend Will hasn't made the damn things any less of a nuisance.

oh no, i dont want the Thalmor to have anything to do with Orsinium

however if they did an Artaeum DLC, the thalmor could somehow be involved

Orsinium has relocated after the last destruction and is now in the border region of skyrim and hammerfell. Which would only make it more viable as it would be just a new area added south of the reach.

I didnt mean that I just want to see Sheogorath I just want to see more of him like how he interact with the other daedra. I want to see a DLC that involves several of them at once if not all so you can kind of pick which ones you want to ally with.

That sounds a little chaotic, albeit cool. The Deadric Princes are not exactly known for being chums and having tea with the Prince of Madness, although the mental image is pretty hilarious. :lol: Personally I think we already have the Daedric quests and we had some fun with the various Princes in the past. Any new DLC should really build further on the in-game lore that perhaps isn't carefully visited. I wouldn't even mind a little extra something about the Vigilants of Stendarr (is that right - their name escapes me for some reason) or some group of that sort, but the Daedric Princes, while important, are just so often done.

Or a peak into a neighboring province we haven't visited. I'm still holding out for High Rock one day. I know everyone thinks it's rather boring but, well, you know me...

I'd bet Sanguine wouldn't mind a drink with Sheogorath. Just would need to get some other notable entities to show up and have some fun!

I'm with Avron. I take the common saying "Bretons are boring generic humans" as blasphemy! Blasphemy I say! I want to visit High Rock. (Through DLC or as TES 6)
While Daedric Princes are overdone I wouldn't mind walking into Azura's Rose palace and see her on a large throne with Nerevar sitting in a lesser throne next to her. :-P
As I said before though I wouldn't mind seeing Orsinium or Artaeum or heck some new place we haven't visited yet. The possibilities are endless!

I've seen stuff on the internet we're going to get an election of the new high king and more on war with thalmor, that means alinor maybe. But then again the internet has lied to us before.
I would be a procrastinator, but I keep putting it off.

Except for Reman Cyrodill. He learned his lesson with that one. He actually left that party because it was too much for him.
