Skyrim files found in last patch refer to Snow Elves, possible DLC content


When Bethesda announced Skyrim Kinect controls, they also teased plans to reveal more about the first Skyrim DLC soon.  Well, it's been a couple weeks, and we haven't heard anything yet, so players have taken matters into their own hands.  One Bethesda forum user posted some files he found following the last patch, pointing to the mention of "Snow Elves" and a "Snow Elf Prince," which many consider to be clues for the unannounced DLC.
If you don't know what a Snow Elf is, then we can only assume you either didn't play much of Skyrim or skipped all the lore stuff (shame on you).  These are the guys better known as "Falmer," the impish, blind creatures that lurk in Dwemer ruins.  They weren't always like that, you know, so we can thank the dwarves for enslaving the whole damn race and turning them into the monsters we know today.
In addition to Snow Elves, the files also refer to crossbows, so that's pretty awesome.  Here is a sample:
