Can anyone tell me the requirements for starting the Dragonborn main quest? I've heard it requires the Gray Beards to recognize you as the Dragonborn, but I haven't started the main quest on my character and don't plan to since being the Dragonborn is pretty stupid, in my opinion.

If it does require the Gray Beards to recognize you as the Dragonborn, does anyone know the ID of the starting quest (so that I can use console commands to start it... considering it's only on Xbox right now, you console users will probably not know).

It is the only way, I am sorry.

That's disappointing to hear. Hopefully console commands can get me through this prerequisite.

Well since you need specific shouts to get through the MQ, good luck not being Dragonborn. There is so much side content not doing the MQ is no big loss.
