Hopefully the main story starts out with you being a prisoner.

no

lol why would that be good?

D,

Because every ES game you start as a prisoner lol

Hope so!!!!

From a hands on with the pre alpha we know that at least with the Ebonheart Pact your start has to do with fighting off deadra and your eventual death with loss of your soul. This leads to to be brought back to life with no soul and that plays into the death system in some way.

I hope we do. It would be cool if we started off as prisoners, taken hostage by one of the enemy factions in Cyrodill. The opening story is your Faction infiltrates a fortress, or a camp where you, and other NPC's, or even players, have been taken hostage and at the end of the opening story, you have to all fight a mini-boss; Where only the you, other players, and certain core NPC's in your faction survive.

That'll be a very interesting start.
