It looks to me like its the point of view of somebody following him/her almost like their companion, when it hit me.... wouldnt it be cool if you could have you own house, famliy, children, job, farm, pets, lab and not be the CHOSEN ONE!!!! wouldn't it be cool if you were a companion of the dragonborn. Someone who helps carry his items, helps heal him and helps solve puzzles ( lets face it not every dragonborn out there is a genius...*cough... WIKI... cough* )
I think that that woul dbe grate spend a few months traveling skyrim and tamriel to then return home to your simple little life as a fisherman/farmer/barman/bard/whatever your towns got going. Agree??
