The Thalmor invasion could have been expected by paying more atention to a rumor in Chorol about an uprising in Summerset by altmer wizards. But still, there are plenty of rumors, none derived from the maint questline. Those rumors may indicate some of the background for the next Elder Scrolls but yet not a plot (I know I know, we fought thalmor in the main questline, but still, the plot was about the dragons, the Thalmor were in a second plane). Either way, despite the political affairs, which are mostly in the second plane, the  mainquests are allways about a surprisingly rising evil. None who played Daggerfall in the 90's and traveled to Aetherius to retrieve the Mantella could imagine the next game would be about Dagoth-Ur, none knew who the hell he was. It's too soon for predictions about plots, I'm pretty sure the Thalmor will make an aparition in the next game but mostly as part of the background. Hope to see the monsters of Arena though, miss them, specially the Fire Daemon.
