I reckon they should do some kind of prequel about when the nords invaded skyrim from atmora. They could have Snow Elves and Dwarves as playable characters, which would be epic, and we'd (hopefully) get to figure out why the Dwarves disappeared, which would also be pretty epic. The main story could involve helping the Nords win the war on the Falmer and Dwemer (obviously if you chose to play as a Snow Elf or Dwarf you'd be a defector, but i think Bethesda is skilled enough to find a way to incorporate that). Also, we'd get to see Skyrim without ancient ruins everywhere, and with the change in landscape and such it could (almost) pass for an entirely new region.
