Skyrim to have "Prisoner Intro" again?

[mjmarin12]

I was checking out the interactive Alduins's Wall over on Gameinformer. When I came to the final little info box, it said towards the end "As Skyrim begins, a lone prisoner begins to learn that he may hold a similar power (to the Dragonborn)...

So, I was wondering "Prisoner opening, again?" I dont know how the devs are going to go about doing this if it is true. Thoughts? Concerns? Soup?

I hope not. You'd think they'd be a little more creative than that especially when it comes to the beginning of the game.

morrowind was...similar.you were a no-name immigrant who may as well have just been released from prison.

i wouldn't be so quick to criticize unless they had a racist dark elf across the hall again. or the emperor needs to use a secret passage in your cell.
that'd bother me a bit.

 

[SelfAppointedGunslinger]

Yeah You got a point there.

You were just released from prison.

All the player characters in the each Elder Scroll's game (except Daggerfall) escape or get released from prison at the start. I kinda like that theme, and I hope they stick with it.

It is tradition, son.

Ah I see, considering I never played any TES game before Oblivion, I didnt think about it that way.

Its essentially an introduction and a way to give you a clean slate so i dont mind either way. Like people have said it is sort of tradition with Elder Scrolls series.

 

[SelfAppointedGunslinger]

I too have only played Oblivion, but now I know a bit more about this tradition I don't mind the idea of the beginning so much now.

It makes it easy on the developers, like living in a vault in Fallout - you start with a clean map and a clean character.
