Let's face it, be it during Unbound or during the Summit of Apocrypha, against a mere mudcrab or the terrifying Karstaag. You've died at one point during the game no matter how powerful your character is. As ragdoll physics take over and your character's corpse flops around like maniac, you can only think of one thing during your last breaths.

"Now who will save Skyrim..."

Well, most of you are probably know you're going to respawn but bear with me. Suddenly, you see a black and misty screen, and words giving you survival tips. As you play with the figure that appears before you, you expect to be swiftly taken to Sovngarde but suddenly, armed with your new knowledge, you're placed back in the world. What just happened?

Now the only logical explanation is that you were given another chance, but why? It's simple really, Akatosh, the god of time, who blessed you with the dragonblood in the first place is all like.

"L4WL, D0V4HK11N U SUTCH 4 N00B L0L0L0L. USIN MAH GAWDLY POWAHS I TRN BAK DAH WEELS O' TIM 2 GIVE U A SCND CHNCE, DUn MESS UP AGEN IDIOT."

And suddenly, you're plunged back into Skyrim to a time before you met your untimely demise. He also gives you trivial tips that don't aid you in combat whatsoever.

Or it's just that Bethesda didn't want to make you have to create a new character each time you died, but this seems unlikely.
