I would like to see opposing towns, forts,farms etc that can be taken over by the opposing faction with the help of the player . Much like in fallout new vegas with Nelson and fort forlorn hope. I personaly would want to see battles were you could interveen and help a side kill off the other .

Maybe, it might be cool to implement for side quests... (or an entire quest line, like where you choose one side IE the (skyrim) loyalists or the imperials and you try to help them win the civil war/ do help them win it and possibly become a figurehead leader or something......)

Well I'm pretty sure theyll make it kinda intense, or at least hard to forget. I doubt we're just gonna hear a NPC or two say "there's a civil war outside!" and then there's nothing happenning.

And I'm pretty sure a lot of quests are gonna be related to that too

At this point, it's impossible to say just how detailed the implementation of the civil war will be, though I highly doubt we'll be attacking and conquering or even destroying any towns or cities we want and having enemies be able to do the same, we must remember this is not a strategy game we're talking about, and the civil war is not really the main story of the game, rather, it's probably going to provide background for the real main focus of the plot, namely, the dragons. The most I can see Bethesda doing with the civil war is having the factions involved being joinable factions, similar to Morrowind's great houses, like said great houses, joining one should present joining another, and then your quests would likely involve helping that faction, some of which could involve attacking or defending contested locations. We might also occassionally see forces of those factions fighting like in New Vegas. In any case, Since Bethesda went out of the way to have a civil war in the game, I'd be quite surprised if they don't do anything with it, but I oubt it will be given as much focus as dragons seem to be.

Yeah I mean in OB there were gates to a demon (dremora) world opening and well there wasn't much of an impact to the day to day routines of the NPC's

I hope so. The fact that we hardly know anything about the civil war makes me kind of worried that it's just gonna be in the background.

I really hope the civil war is not treated as a mere afterthought. If done well it would be such a cool addition to the game. I would love to see large scale battles along with small, random skirmishes that you stumble across and there definetly has to be a questline for it, hopefully with branching plot-lines.
