Expanded Marriage System: I agree, though it would kinda cause issues with the people who already married (for example) some merchant chick by giving her a mammoth tusk. Plus, what if this was an intended concept, but by the time of release they realized it caused to many conflicting issues or bugs and thus simplified it to what we see today? I dunno. Just my thought.

Build-A-Town!: As can probably be assumed by the sarcasm of that heading, I'm not exactly a big fan of the idea. The main reason goes hand-in-hand with my argument for why a "Become the High King" idea is not my favorite: I doubt Bethesda would really enable the player to have enough legitimate interaction options that make a legitimate impact on the dynamics of an entire town (let alone the province of Skyrim in the case of a "High King" thing). This is more-or-less proven by the end of the "Shivering Isles" pack. You basically become a Daedric Prince in that DLC, and what can you do with your massive plane of oblivion? Fight/Send people to fight some being(s) attacking such-and-such location to get gold, call for a (in my opinion cheesy and impractical) dancer, and change the weather. Yay for options! [point goes on more but I think I've said enough for now on that point[

More Bosmer and Kajiit: YES. YES. YES. And that can easily be fixed in a DLC...let me elaborate: NOT a DLC that just adds a bunch of Bosmers and Kajiit to run around and let you marry them by doing such-and-such fetch quest or giving something to Mr(s) so-and-so, I mean a legitimate DLC with quests, areas, etc, whose cast consists of a ton of Bosis and catmen (*cough*elsweyr*cough*idon'tcarethatitwon'thappenjustmakingapoint*coughcough*)

Having* Children: The main practical reason this won't happen is because they'd have to change the rating content from "Sexual Themes" to "Sexual Content" or risk getting sued by the parents of all the immature 8-year-olds who snuck Skyrim into their homes when their child asks what his character is doing to their spouse in the bed.

The other, more involved reasons this won't work include...
 * The fact that--as much as I don't really care for bringing this up--you can marry characters of the same gender. I don't know if people have forgotten, but two guys and two girls can't have babies together.
 * The game would have to add a whole new mechanic to the game: aging. Otherwise, by logic, a newborn would remain a newborn for at least three in-game years before being able to walk, and then another seven or so before they look like the kids currently found in the game. I don't know if people realize, but a year is actually a pretty long time in this game.
 * The facial combination idea, though a good idea, is simply impossible with how Skyrim's base game and engine is set up. I'll just leave it at that.

And there's my rantish thing.
