Obviously Elder Scrolls, and Fallout: NV the courier is a prisoner for about a minute before getting shot in the face. Off topic, but wasn't it implied that Elder Scrolls VI will take place in Hammerfell? I never even realized the Fallout parts... Oh, I forgot, in Fallout 3 you're a prisoner of the Enclave for like 10 minutes in Raven Rock........ yeah but not at the very Beggining. though that proves that even if the player isnt a prisoner at the beggining of the game.... they will be sooner or later xDD It's weird, at least every game they made, involves you as a prisoner in at least part of the story, Why???? Because it gives you the ability to create your own past and future. You're a blank slate with no background, it's up to you to make one. I wouldnt consider being in prison when you start the game a 'blank slate' I worded it wrong. XD What I meant was, if you're working on a farm, that means you're a farmer. Some people don't want to be a farmer, or have it suggested you're a farmer. If you end up in jail without any explaination, you could've danced on the former emperor's corpse for Sithis's sake! :P Ah ok xD I guess that would be the easiest way to give the player more freedom in making their backstory. Although, unlike their other game, i didn like Oblivion's beginning. Feels like you were put in there for something serious, as opposed to Skyrim and fallout: NV's begginings where you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time. Gotta give you that one. I've never played any of the Fallout games, but I've played Bloodmoon, Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim, but out of all of them, I disliked Oblivion's opening.
