But then this source says that a developer called the claims half truths and falsehoods: http://www.vg247.com/2012/12/07/skyrim-snow-elf-dlc-rumour-downplayed-by-bethesda-employee/

What do the lorumites think? If true, do you think this is the right step in terms of its impact on lore?

For me, personally, seeing a new King and a fight against the Thalmor wouldn't bother me since it has to happen in TES lore sometime anyway, and its a new conflict.

The Snow Elves would be cool to see explored, but tampering with the Nords and Dwarves might ruin some of the lore established by Morrowind regarding the Heart of Lorkhan and it might even affect our Hunt for the Amaranth search.

If they did do some history on Snow Elves, Dwemer, and Nords, I'd prefer if it was kept within Skyrim, and all the Morrowind stuff was left out of it.

I've never really been one of those people to complain about devs releasing incomplete games and then filling the holes with paid DLC, but damn. Between this (if true) and KotN, it seems like Bethesda is just giving us a bare-bones, almost-satisfying version of the racial/provincial lore and history in the vanilla games, and then asking for $20 when we expect more. It'd be like if half the materials on the Battle of Red Mountain had been added by Tribunal.
