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.
