A great way to see the next game would be where the Empire is trapped in political intrigue, the Dominion is facing issues with the Khajiit ( maybe a loss of trust &/or being tricked ), & the inhabitants within the Dominion have skirmishes with the An Xileel.

Such as situation could be similar to anarchy, though more fuedal & chaotic.

As for the Civil War, those you talk to could say "Skyrim is a lost cause... That is all I know." Any extra details would be vague & infer Skyrim is lost, in ruins, or just out of communication. Either way, there would probably be rumors of vampires, religious cults that hunt such things, & probably a few dragons going about  ( most might have gone to Akavir or just dispersed a lot ). Dragons probably did not just die out again, & still might be seen as having a comeback, despite Alduin. It is safe to guess they are much less unified & inherently violent.
