If it is in Hammerfell, I'll give Bioware some bounus points if the game's opening is similar the Arabian Nights opening from Aladdin. Other things that could be added is in addition to horses, you can also buy and ride camels, a voice cast made up of people with ancestry back to Northern Africa and the Middle-East. Also, the plot should be similar to myth and folklore stories that come from Northern Africa and the Middle-East.

In terms of game opening, you actually start off as a slave about to be sold. As soon as your called up to the auction block, the characters creation begins. After it's finished, you are bought by a mysterious hooded figure who leads you a secluded area, then removes their robes revealing themselves to be the daughter of Hammerfell's ruler(Caliph, or Sultun or High King, this wiki has not yielded much info on Hammerfell's government) and reveals both the Empire and Thalmor have been manipulating her father.

But she learned from a visiting Moth Priest, that the the Elder Scrolls have fortold that a hero will come to Hammerfell durring a time of chaos and uncertinty. She believes you are this hero and that she came to prevent you from being bought by a slave owner. She then frees you and says that while you are free to do as you wish, she would very much apprciate it if you could help Hammerfell with it's political problems.
