oblivion′s arena was, the faction benefits as well as the satisfaction gained from progressing the questline and sidequests related to it were one of the capital′s highlights. i′m going to go on a limb here and assume the complexity of implenting an arena styled equivalent to skyrim should be able to be done by modders. if bethesda were to somehow expand on the idea by integrating all of the holds( and organized tournament by all the jarls and their champions/ teams) might be worth their attention.
---2) the floating city
i′m sure someone who is more familiar with the lore will be able to flesh this idea out. basically in one of the books mentions the attack of a floating city in blackmarsh and later morrowind. something like this would be very interesting as the whole dlc could blend in with skyrim, having the city float over the mountains or tundra, lake, sea etc. as an isolate it would be self contained enabling the story and concept writers for the dlc to work with a frame that would influence the rest of skyrim to much, messing around with lore/ story compatibility issues in skyrim itself.
---3) slaying mythical beasts
special ancient dragons/ serpents, wolves etc. a hunt questline where you travel throughout skyrim hunting particular creatures at ultra boss level/ fleshy script and high ai, making each fight an endgame boss fight, leading up to something more difficult.
the reason behind this is that
a) the dragon fights are becoming bland. a dragon overhaul is necessary. yet even if the overhaul is implemented (new stats, triggered health effects, improved ai) these would still be dragons and would inevitably get repetitive.
---4) something dwemer, like a giant dwemer airship/flying fortress, this would of course be along the lines of the floating city
automatons that can reason and think? as npcs?
now i′m fully aware of all the mistakes, contradictions and perhaps impossibilities of implenting any of these as possible dlcs. just throwing out some ideas here for a brainstorming session!
