Maybe they could follow a Fate series logic where the heroes are revived, for whatever reason, from various time periods (or timelines) in various forms that may or may not be exact to lore. So maybe you play as a female Argonian Dragonborn (or whatever), but the one revived is a male Nord though it's still a similar character in essence. And maybe the process cuts out parts of their memory so that they remember fighting Alduin and other events of the main quest and forget about minor details such as joining or not joining the Theives Guild.

Yeah, I highly doubt that would EVER happen and it basically runs the lore that they've worked so hard on for years through a wood chipper, but you gotta admit it would be pretty awesome.
