so your character has no past that attaches him his personality, that lets you make your character whatever you want... They cleary failed in Skyrim.

at the very begining of the game you suddenly become "DA GRATEST WURRIOR EVAAAAAAAAAARRRRR" No, the Nerevarine has very similar circumstances in the fact that they have power which is given to them by coincidence. The same goes for every great warrior in the whole lore of the Elder Scrolls and in other games, the answer to all of this is the basis of the series and the naming factor... The Elder Scrolls foresee all, they see saw a prisoner and they stated the prophecy of Jagar Tharn, it saw the Warp of the West coming, it saw the Oblivion crisis and an unlikely hero. With Morrowind and Skyrim they have a name for the prophecy and that is all that is different. The Dragonborn probably became the Dragonborn as they were born on a certain day to uncertain parents after the events of the previous games, the final part of the prophecy was the civil war. So blame Ulfric for the Dragonborn coming to be who they are.

Ummmmm no, none of these things are a coincidence.Dovakin is seen as being the special one here, physically he is a normal "human" by default, but his souls is that of a dragon, seeing as he has nothing to do with the dragonborn line since they all seem to have died somehow.His appearance during the coming of Alduin is obviously something conditioned by Akatosh, and the dovakin was send by Akatosh to fix things in Tamriel, so he send a dragon soul on earth.The others were simple people but this one needed no bloodline.Since Akatosh gave the power dragons have, when he was what some dragons started to do, he obviously tought they did not deserve it anymore, and he kinda needed to send the dragonborn for that.Another thing is that Nerevarine is not a SIMPLE HAPPENING,everything, even in our reality, is conditioned by some law,order thing.And the Nerevarine was Nerevarine in his past life also, so he pretty much reincarnated to finish things.And I have a hunch he may have tried in other lives but could not succeed, or he simply did not realzie what he needed to do. Same with the dragonborn, a reincarnated soul, and it"s practically the only reason he has these powers, and it"s practically the reason to why he is mastering them so well, he may have forgotten the method because of the reincarnation, but his soul is the same, so he practically still has the power.And I never understood why they say "he absorbs the soul of a dragon", since you just absorb it"s powers and some memory,not the soul.Tat would be awfull for you.I think they are "absorbed" in the manner that they are send back from where they came, so they can"t be revived
