Every ES game starts of with you as a prisoner and being released. In Morrowind you were transfered to Vardenfall, in Oblivion you were in the dungeons and released by the Emperor, and in Skyrim you were going to be executed and escaped because of Alduin's attack.

So what sort of prison scenario do you start with in ES6? Here are two ideas of mine.

1. A freed slave. You actually start the game off as a slave. You are brought to the auction block, where you create your character. Then you're bought by an NPC who brings you to secluded area, and then completly unexpectingly he or she frees you. This is because the NPC is a key character in 6's story,

2. You escape from jail. Unlike other games, you start of with you and an NPC prisoner actually trying to escape from jail via digging an underground tunnel with tools he somehow snuck in, sorta like the opening scene of All Dogs Go To Heaven. Don't worry, you won't destroy a water pipe, instead you and your first companion will dig out, only to find yourself confronted by at least one or two key NPC characters in the main story who say that the Elder Scrolls themselves said you would arrive at that very spot.
