Well not in the main quest perhaps. As I've already stated, something that seems relatively mysterious is the Psijic Order's sudden disappearance (along with their island) between the Oblivion and Skyrim. It is only used a little in the Mage's Guild questline, and the Order takes away the Eye of Magnus, saying, paraphrased, that "the world isn't ready for it yet". Seems like a point to jump off of, especially considering that next to none of that is explained; their disappearance, the eye, etc.
There we have it guys. Bethesda intends to make magic not suck in TES6

"With no Emperor to serve, the Blades now return to our ancient role. We will bide our time until the next Dragonborn arises." According to random internet person. Not a prophecy so much as foreshadowing for the next game, which they were probably already planning. Heck, there are probably hints towards the next game somewhere in Skyrim, probably just well hidden without context to look for.
again in skyrim? C'mon atleast some gimmick like traveling between borders to bordering nations or overseas into Akavir territory(except Solstheim, we don't go to Solstheim)

Even though I've never played it, I want magic and enchanting to be more like Morrowind, where things aren't limited and you can do a ridiculous number of fun things if you play the system right, but it's difficult and/or expensive to do. It seems in every game since then, magic has been getting nerfed into oblivion (pun intended).
Morrowind -> Limitless possibilities pretty much. You could become a physical god with enough effort.
Oblivion -> Okay this is still pretty good and you can make spells, but removed a lot of interesting spells.
Skyrim -> Linear, removes an entire branch of spellcasting, grand total of like 12 spell effects, just upgraded with tier. Not everything can be enchanted with anything, not every enchantment can be learned. If you want a continuous casted spell you're stuck to certain tiers. Master spells takes ages to do and are always AOE. Practically all useful side-spells are gone (water-walking, levitation, unlocking, etc.) so basically it's terrible.
TES6 -> PLEASE BE LIKE MORROWIND.
Another thing I want back in TES6 is more varied armor. I mean having seperate legs, torso, pauldron, gloves, head, etc. slots instead of half of it magically being fused or whatever.

What? No, I don't mean the next game will be in Skyrim. I meant there are probably hints about the next game hidden somewhere in Skyrim's world. The last thing I want is
The Elder Scrolls VI: Skyrim II: Return of the Dragonborn: Rising: Revengeance: Battle Against the Thalmor: Electric Boogaloo: Redux: HD+ Remastered: Game of the Year Edition.

Personally, what with the increasing power of technology, I'd love it if multiple provinces (or part of Akavir) showed up.
gunpowder, compass, cannons, siege ram with 10 war mammoth inside, muskets, the spanish inquisition, napoleon hat, nippon steel,

What about Spellswords, though? And Eldritch Knights from D&D? Those are cool.

Steam should probably incorporate a VAT, like VAC... But I'll explain...
Oh and I'm raising money for Empire At War via Shadow Cases in CS:GO, in ultimately a shit-storm of skilled assholes and then really bad nice people. Oh how I love my priorities...
Hahaha. Haha. Ha.
I thought I'd finally found a form of "art" that I'm not that bad at. Minecraft Skins.
Hahahahayeah, no, I'm freaking terrible at this. The things people are doing with 1.8 layering are freaking amazing and I can't even emulate it by constantly looking at a skin, and my shading still doesn't look real at all, and I still can't figure out how to shade even with multiple examples to follow.
Why do I even bother.
