The Dark Brotherhood is a complete necessity!
I know lots of you have said its already been confirmed, but just to make sure, I'm reiterating my support for the Dark Brotherhood. The DB's story line and quests were gripping and exhilarating in Oblivion - by far the most fun "guild" to join, though the others were great too. On several occasions, I would create a character, rush through the main quest line to get rid of the bothersome oblivion gates opening up all over the place, then devote my by-now-decently-powerful character to the Dark Brotherhood (sometimes creating my own contracts in the imperial city, because this game series is where I get out all my nerdiness).
Vampires and werewolves: sounds like a huge amount of fun.
I loved becoming a vampire in Oblivion, but would always end up finding the cure because of how inconvenient it is. I really wish you could bottle blood, and take it with you. That seems like something a vampire would actually do, and isn't unreasonable. Also, as mentioned above somewhere, after becoming a vampire, a representative from a vampire family should come find you once a short amount of time has elapsed. This would open up the war against werewolves...
Werewolves are something I always thought were lacking in Oblivion. Granted, I didn't mind because Oblivion was awesome, but Skyrim should be an improvement on Oblivion. Anyways, werewolves would be f-ing sweet. Every full moon (or maybe something different, because I remember more than one moon in Oblivion), knowing you will turn into a werewolf after being bitten would be cool beyond measure. If werewolves are included, which I hope they are, then there needs to be a "violence mechanic" that causes your character to lash out at NPC's in proximity without your control. I feel like that would make the whole "I'm a werewolf and I'm dangerous and untamed" deal come to life. But perhaps that won't happen. Just wishful thinking. Also, just like with the vampires, there needs to be a werewolf representative who finds you after some time, and invites you to join a fraternity of werewolves, introducing you to the war on vampires.
If any of the creators of Skyrim see this post, I realize that you guys have probably come up with these ideas or similar ones already, but I want you to know the public would definitely be pleased with the outcome if you were to include at least part of what is posted above. Can't wait till 11-11-11
