Oblivion had oblivion gates, Skyrim had dragons and shouting, I think something new and interesting will replace this. Maybe the Wild Hunt in Valenwood. Also we think that it is very possible the next game could be hundreds of years in the future where the Thalmor are dissolved and destroyed, or reversed where it is far in the past and we might get to meet dwemer or snow elves (besides the few you meet in dawnguard). Also DarthOrc's younger portion hopes the next game has far less hand holding via essential characters and things of that nature. If I want to kill the main protagonist of the main quest and send all of Tamriel spiraling into terror, I should be able to, because Elder Scrolls games are at their best when you are fully immersed and doing what you want to do (imo) without restriction, even if what I want to do counteracts the main story. I agree with all of this.

@Above: False protagonist? How do you mean?

Also, no guns. That's intrinsically part of TES design docs and, if this changes, there will be outrage. I doubt Bethesda will do this. How about weapon throwing? That...would actually kick ass. Throwing daggers...mmm. Sexy. Throwing crossbows to the face of a thalmor?
