I would like to see maybe the ability to side with the Thalmor. Maybe have them as a third faction in the war for Skyrim. The staging point could be the Thalmor Embassy, and you help them take all nine holds. After you take a hold the guards there are replaced with Thalmor Soldiers, and any Talos shrine is removed. I think that would be epic. I love the Thalmor :D
