I think the outcome of the civil war will be vague at best in order for writers to feel less restricted while continuing the story for TES 6. If TES 6 is to focus on fight with Thalmor they should make the outcome of the Civil War vague and make it so that the Aldmeri Dominion was so overwhelming that there was no way the Empire, with or without Skyrim can survive the onslaught. Like so overwhelming, they were able to hit Cyrodiil so hard and fast that the Emperor/Titus Mede II or his successor didn't even know what hit them while Skyrim didn't even have enough time to recover sufficiently before AD whack them so hard that even Ulfric's mom cannot recognize Ulfric. I think the most logical explanation for such a fantastic war results is that the Aldmeri Dominion's new Commander-In-Chief is a God-Tier Strategist who is genius beyond his time and he will serve as one of the primary antagonists. An extremely powerful and dangerous rival to our new MC who outclass him at every turn and at everything.

TES VI will then take place in either Valenwood, Hammerfell, Summerset Isles or parts of these Provinces like in Daggerfall. So you can raise a rebellion against the Thalmor. Even better if it is within Summerset Isles as a High Elf dissident.

I think parts of Summerset Isles, Hammerfell and Valenwood will be good. It will be nice if your starting location will vary base on your Race choice. If you're a High Elf, you will start in Summerset Isles and if you're other races you will start in Valenwood.

No matter your race, you will be introduced quickly as an Anti-Thalmor in either Summerset Isles or Valenwood so we don't have to sit through the long introduction sequence. Immediately run for your life. Then you'll learn later that you were framed for crimes you never commit and your whole family has been executed or something. They don't need to keep to the Tamriel map and borders we are comfortable in. Make it so that AD actually has a large part of Cyrodiil and Skyrim by this time. Only Hammerfell, High Rock, parts of Skyrim and Cyrodiil  are still not conquered.

MC has to run away from Summerset Isles or Valenwood to Hammerfell. Gain power and influence while shaving off the Thalmor influence before finally returning to Summerset Isles to battle for control against the Thalmor. If it takes place in Hammerfell, they can even pull the return of Sword Singers and replace Thu'um with the Shehai.
