I believe the prisoner thing has become partly a joke bethween the game creators and the players. When I played Skyrim for the first time I just laughed when Hadvar called me "prisoner". It made me feel like home.

I know many people feel passionate about TES lore and the risk of over-interpretation is imminent.
