the fact that your character's race/gender/spouse/children/name/political agenda/pretty much everything could/will be recorded into history, unless the game takes place hundreds of years in the future, this would ruin what bethesda always does with their player characters; and seeing as they just recently sent the series two-hundred years since the last game another large time jump is very unlikely.
