I get that not everyone is excited to return to Skyrim. But as someone who legitimately loves The Elder Scrolls' lore, the idea of getting to see what Winterhold was like when it was Skyrim's capital is friggin' exciting to me!
Just a tip: lower your expectations or you might get disappointed. We will be getting the rest of Skyrim. Winterhold is north of Windhelm or at least that is, where it should be. Remember, they messed up the map. Anyway, it is unlikely we will get Winterhold, when it is located in eastern Skyrim and the expansion is about western skyrim.

What are Eastmarch and The Rift if not two of the regions that comprise Skyrim?
We’ve already been back to eastern Skyrim. People just seem to want to go back... more.
I’ll get behind this expansion just after they announce they’ll do the rest of mainland Morrowind.
Nords, Nords and more bloody Nords. Azura help us all.

And where was this whining when Vvardenfell was released? That chapter was the most nostalgic thing they've done, dragons included.
Edit: Or with Gold Coast - Kvatch caused nostalgic EXCITEMENT - but no complaining... ???
At first I was kinda disappointed because I've played the absolute living hell out of Skyrim, but when I stop and think about it, it WILL be a completely new story set in a completely different era, and I love Blackreach. Yes they have milked Skyrim for all it's worth, but if you come at it with from a different perspective, it may not be so bad after all.

Sure, but let's not forget that TES V was by far the most successful title they made - probably one of the most successful games of all time. There are certainly a lot of long time Elder Scrolls fans here, but more than likely also many people who have only known Skyrim beforehand. So, I guess you can say that the Morrowind/Oblivion related zones were fanservice - the Skyrim chapter does seem to be a bit more commercially motivated to me, compared to that.
What if he didn't die, he could absorb the magic before

Then why didn't they center the first expansions around it? Why did they wait 6 years? They were eventually going to have to touch Skyrim. It is a part of Tamriel, and a lot of it is missing from the map. It was inevitable.
I think these "nostalgia" complaints was always going to happen, whether they expanded Skyrim immediately after launch, now, or 5 years from now. It's complaining for the sake of complaining.
Just another half sized zone with closed houses, cities as public dungeons and a main story about saving the world from destruction.
Vanilla game still has the most coesive storyline.
