[Character Creation]

A execution hood is pulled off of your eyes as you are being dragged by two cerimonial armor clad Imperial Guards. As your eyes adjust to the bright light, you start to make out the sillouette of a guillotine in the center of a small colleseum like structure. You are dragged out through a doorway leading to the packed arena. You glance around (controlled by you) and see many cloaked figures chained together with restraints. You are dragged towards the guillotine, and the two guards drag you up the stairs of a lifted platform and onto the table of the guillotine. A short dialog commences by a clearly high ranking Imperial. He explains that the group of people in front of the crowd have all been convicted of, and are now being executed for, the terrible crime of treason. He continues that they are Stormcloaks, including their leader, Ulfric Stormcloak himself. The crowd roars with booing and screaming. He then says Ulfric will be the last of the executions. One of the guards holding you to the table mutters to the other, "Some grand finale, huh?" The general walks to the lever of your guillotine, and just before pulling, you here a booming voice yell "Freedom for Skyrim!" Dozens of Stormcloaks emerge from the crowd pulling weapons from their cloaks, they storm the colleseum and just as the genral pulls the lever, one Stormcloak pulls you from the table while shoving his sword through the guards stomach. Another Stormcloak does the same to the other guard. He speaks to you, "Get up my [elven/cat/lizzard/redguard/nord/breton/orc] [brother/sister], Talos himself has saved you from your impending fate!" He pulls the Imperials fragile cerimonial sword from it's sheath and gives it to you. [Sword is not equipped but inventory is enabled. Pop up instructions tell you how to equip the sword and a fire spell]
You are then able to move freely in the inside of the Arena and are directed through the doorway by Ulfric Stormcloak. The opening "dungeon" is the interior of the colleseum walls. You fight your way through Imperials then eventually find your way out and decide to either go with Ulfric and his boys or leave them behind and head to Riverwood.



Not great but I liked it. I really loved the actual opening scene in the game though. What do you guys think.

I think you should use the default font so that we can read what you're saying that cursive is a little hard on the eyes.

Oh it's just like regular handwriting to me no cursive. I'll change it.

Edit: There you go! What ya think?
