in helgen there are so many opportunities to be cut free. so why is it your binds aren't undone until you reach the keep?

Too much confusion, perhaps?

In the mass hysteria caused by a massive dragon destroying literally everything, wouldn't you want to find shelter first?

Panic.
Everyone's afraid for their own life, and your hands being tied is not their priority.
It's a time critical situation (or supposed to be from a storyline perspective), so it comes down to priorities.

Because it's in the script? Why wouldn't we just jump out of the wagon that's moving 1.5 MPH and run into the woods?

In practice I'm sure your hands wouldn't be untied even after you've been beheaded.

Because then you'll get shot in the leg and die. :tongue:

Really, if you're looking for a story-driven answer, there isn't one. It's scripted that way so the intro isn't spoiled by something unpredictable. It's the exact same reason a lot of NPCs are essential and can't be killed.

Because you can't have a true "Call of Duty" style beginning without an intense and unskippable scripted battle scene

He could have simply cut himeself loose on one of the swords lying around.

I wouldn't have died...I would've been a guard and walked around complaining to the adventurers. :lol:

Yeah, I could hang out in Riften: "I used to be a fugitive like you. Then I took an arrow to the back of the knee."

The only reason I wish it happened sooner is because you have to wait until either keep before you can enter 3rd person camera and see your character in natural light.

I used to be an adventurer like you until I took a sword to the chest!
