I'm probably going to get crucified for this...
..but I would love to go back to Cyrodiil in an expansion.
Now before you begin lighting torches and sharpening pitchforks, hear me out.
Imagine running around in the same areas that your (Oblivion) character ran around 200 years in the past, hearing stories and reading books about the Oblivion events and the hero who saved Tamriel all that time ago, to me this would be an extremely profound, almost out of body, kind of experience. Sure, the character you're playing wouldn't really have anything to do with your old Oblivion character unless it were worked in to the story somehow, but you as the player would be remembering and recalling the locations, the talk and the lore, and seeing how it has all evolved/devolved in the last 200 years.
Now tell me that wouldn't be freaking cool.
I think it would be an incredibly nostalgic experience to go back to an altered version of the world that I (if not everyone) was so familiar with. Now I'm talking geographical changes (like the city of Anvil being mostly under water, or maybe the sea has receded and the city has been expanded out onto the cliffside where the ocean once dropped off) as well as other changes like Kvatch being up and running again, the Imperial City being run down and not quite as glamorous as it once was, venturing to the ruins of the Blades Temple, visiting what once was the Cheydenhal Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary, etc.
It would be interesting to see what became of everything after your character in Oblivion had lived out his/her lives and everything in the empire changing.
Thoughts???
