How about this for a random idea?

It's two/three/whatever hundred years since Skyrim. The Stormcloak rebellion was a success, but when an unknown assassin killed the Emperor during his visit the Empire had little option but to send more forces to crush Ulfric and his supporters due to public demand. Due to the heavy loses incurred the Aldmeri Dominion become even more influential across Tamriel. Today (in ESVI) they have so much power they can now openly arrest and execute pretty much anyone they wish for the most petty of reasons.

The Main Character was arrested during the 'cleansing' of a particular village the AD demanded the destruction of (whether they lived there or were just passing through is unknown). They were captured alongside a priest who has spent most of his life looking for a chosen one. Someone their God instructed them to find. Surprise surprise, the MC is just who they were searching for.

It turns that the Gods have become a little pissed off with the AD. Due to their fanaticism and religious suppressing the other Gods aren't getting the respect and followers they used to have. The AD have upset the balance and it has been decided to do something about them. This is where you come in.

The Daedra, Aedra and everyone else want you to put a final stop to the AD. In order to do so you have been blessed with a super special power that sets you apart from the other squishy folk. Of course, you need training to get to grips with it properly, so you need to do certain quests that help you learn to control this power.

Sometime after your escape (your poor priest friend died in the attempt) the AD learn about you and that you are specially tasked with destroying them. They are going to throw everything they have at you and make you the most wanted person in (insert TSVI location here). This makes life rather more difficult, but by doing side quests for various people and places, you gain enough allies to keep you safe and amass an army along the way.
