I would like spears and improved horse combat, as others have mentioned.

On the latter note, maybe the game could be set in a realm that is sort of horse-dominated (a la Rohan from LOTR). To my knowledge, no province exists like that yet. It could be a previously undiscovered province (with the game set well after the events of Skyrim), or it could be a province simply not mentioned, or it could be that some other province has undergone geographic and societal change in the decades that have passed since Skyrim.

As for the main plot, idk. I'm not terribly interested in the Thalmor. The most intriguing idea is featuring the Dwemer. Like maybe they show up in ES6, and it turns out that they accidentally (or purposely i guess) sent themselves forward in time using an Elder Scroll. Or maybe the Hero must go back to a time before their disappearance (I like the idea of the hero maybe actually playing a big role in the disappearance).

And frankly, the entire idea of time travel in an ES game seems cool. I wouldn't mind seeing some events transpire, and then have the hero go back in time and witnessing those same events from a different perspective and fulfilling a different role (kind of like we saw with Harry and Hermione in Prisoner of Azkaban).

Alternatively, I like the idea someone else had about there being a supercharged god/daedra/whatever that was imprisoned and now has broken free and upset the divine balance. I wouldn't mind if that character was actually sort of not completely free but present during the entire game:  like if it was trapped in a mortal body but still possessed awesome power, and the hero is trying to stop him from regaining his full, virtually omnipotent form.

In any case, i can't wait for the next installment.
