They could also elaborate on Season Unending quest. We all know that after you beat Alduin, if you made a cease fire between the two sides, you can continue with the civil war questline. However, what if developers said in the next Elder Scroll, that they came to a long lasting peace, in the face of Dragon menace. Although I am not sure how it would be possible to end the civil war peacefully and still have Ulfric alive.

Also, Empire might be cripling, but Empire and Dominion are not the only nations in Tamriel. How do we know if Dominion would be able to take on Morrowind, Argonia, Hammerfell and Elswyer with the same success? Alright, Khajits might get forced into Dominion again, although maybe even those caravan traders would be able to stand to the Dominion. After all, they are not only good with trading, they also natural archers judging by their starting bonuses, so in that they are not that different from Bosmer in skill.

Even if Dominion invades remnants of the Empire (Cyrodil, Skyrim and High Rock), there is no way of knowing if they would be able to keep them all. I am sure Skyrim will kick Altmer out, if  ofcourse they would let them in in the first place. They might encounter dificulties in High Rock too, especially since Thalmor are big magic users and Bretons are resistant to magic and preaty good mages themselves. Even Cyrodil might force Dominion out after some time, if not right away.

The bottom line is, who knows if Thalmor would be successful in the first place in taking over of entire Tamriel?
