This seemed to me like the most obvious dlc choice, as it one of the few unresolved major conflicts in the game
Any opinions on if it will happen and if so how it will be done?

I hope you can choose both sides.

A game about... a game about killing elves?

It's so... beautiful

I'm all about some anti-Thalmor content.

Diplomatic Immunity was my favorite quest to this point (forget about going stealth, I went full out Thalmor onslaught), and I'm on "kill on sight" terms with the Thalmor.

It's a wondrous thing.

Pelinal would be so proud.



Realistically, I think the war against the Thalmor will be a major plot point of TES VI and cannot be properly covered by DLC... not even an actual expansion pack.

Dude! I just started my Ja'Skar predicts series last night. Is that we're you got this?

As long as i get to kill arogant elves im happy

it would seem likely place to go considering the questlines u can take u can be in the beginning of the war and the next game u can be in middle seems natural to me cuz bethesda likes to skip a couple centuries u can have hundred years war and then the dlc would be trying to stop end of world or ending the war or that that would be next game but next chapther will have something to do with them getting a little irritating missing out on the big worldly fights inTES everything seems to be otherworldly adventures

All past elder scrolls games, you could stop in the middle of the main quest and go off and do the expansion, then come back to the original main storyline and finish the game. I haven't finished Skyrim's mainquest (barely started it, been so busy with sidequests) so I am not sure whether some sort of "war with the Thalmor" could exist congruently with an unfinished main quest. I am trying to recall how Tribunal worked with Morrowind, I think finishing the expansion first meant an end to ashstorms, and that you could try to discuss the events with regular NPCs but they would get annoyed with you and think you were loony. Can't recall how Vivec in particular would respond to the news.

Anyway, I think it would have to be something that could be done alongside the main Skyrim quest without having one completely negate the other.

If a war with Thalmor would fit in there ok, then it sounds like a good DLC prediction. I am sure a lot of us are itching to have an excuse to kill a few more Thalmor. Interesting twist of course would be if you came to semi agree with them after learning more, just like the main game starts you thinking the Stormcloaks are the heroes then revising your opinion halfway through. Bethesda has never liked pure bad guys, and Thalmor are getting pretty close to being just that. So a major plot twist seems likely.

Tribunal expected players to of finished the main quest before playing the expansion - after all, the events in Tribunal are set to occur right after Morrowind's MQ completion.

However you could still start the Tribunal expansion right from the start of the game. Was rather bad of an oversight, and didn't work very well. Especailly since if you had Tribunal installed and started a new character you'd constantly be attacked by Dark Brotherhood assassins at level 1 for "no reason" (they are supposed to be attacking the person who finished the MQ though). The only way to stop the attacks (that were scaled to your level, sans the armor they wore) was to start the expansion - which was aimed at "high" 20-30 level players in difficulty.

Long story short it really didn't work. You pretty much need to install a mod that disables tribunal until after MQ or major faction completion or something in order to play Morrowind without going crazy.

If previous trends continue, there will be no such DLC. Beth likes to make their expacs completely unrelated to the MQ, and they usually involve some exotic new locale. There's some speculation that Morrowind or Cyrodiil (or both) will be featured, but that would be entirely too much work for an expansion.

Personally, I'm rooting for something that will expand upon Dwemer lore, maybe find some massive dwarven ruin and find out what caused their disappearance.

Blackreach was cool, but imagine a cave the size of Shivering Islands.

I love how DLC has completely expiated the concept of an expansion.

Anything, as long as we get to wipe out the Stormcloak scumbags. If this sounds strange, it's because I haven't played much of the main quest.

I know its little off topic but since talking about expansions and dlc. When I was doing the Thief's guild quests and learn about the falmer. I really got into it and wanted to learn more about them. All i saw that was mention that they were snow elves and been exiled underground where they were made slaves by the dwarves. I wish they could expand on it a little.

If you side with the empire and follow through with their quest line, you'll pretty much topple the rebellion entirely.

Dwemer are good but a small doses... I get bored real fast by the steampunk look of their ruins.

Seeing as there are two confirmed roads and gates to the Morrowind province it's possible that the next expansion will be based in the mainland Morrowind.

Even my Crusader, who follows the God of Mercy and Righteous Might, attack the Thalmor on sight(except in towns).

In another thread someone suggested that the city of Blacklight could be a possible location. Bethesda has already made a city into an expansion pack once before with Tribunal. So perhaps one of those roads might lead to a Blacklight expansion pack? I think the idea is intriguing.

I'm hoping future DLC will take you to Summerset Isle (basically the heart of the Aldmeri Dominion), and depending on whom you side with during the civil war, will fight along you (Stormcloaks or Imperials). Another one of the reasons why Summerset Isle might be a good idea, is the fact that it's an island, so it could be the same size as the Shivering Isles and it wouldn't feel "weird" (Valenwood is another viable idea and also part of the Aldmeri Domion, but I expect Valenwood to be as big as Skyrim and Cyrodiil), well just my two cents

I hope we see two expansion, one made by Obsidian

Seeing the success of NV that even exceeded in sales FO3 it would be a no brainer!

I think its unlikely that the war with the Thalmor would be downloadable content. Its more probable to be in future TES games. The war would be just too much of a big thing, just imagine, Stormcloaks running around fighting Imperials and at the same time Thalmor running around fighting Imperials if you start the quest? Unless perhaps they make it quest completion dependant and maybe take the player out of Skyrim completely like the Shivering Isles.

If the "war" quest chain is gonna be like the civil war quest chain, then please no

As long as we can choose our side, then I'm in.
