Obviously Elder Scrolls, and Fallout: NV the courier is a prisoner for about a minute before getting shot in the face. Off topic, but wasn't it implied that Elder Scrolls VI will take place in Hammerfell? I never even realized the Fallout parts... Oh, I forgot, in Fallout 3 you're a prisoner of the Enclave for like 10 minutes in Raven Rock........ yeah but not at the very Beggining. though that proves that even if the player isnt a prisoner at the beggining of the game.... they will be sooner or later xDD It's weird, at least every game they made, involves you as a prisoner in at least part of the story, Why???? Because it gives you the ability to create your own past and future. You're a blank slate with no background, it's up to you to make one. I wouldnt consider being in prison when you start the game a 'blank slate' I worded it wrong. XD What I meant was, if you're working on a farm, that means you're a farmer. Some people don't want to be a farmer, or have it suggested you're a farmer. If you end up in jail without any explaination, you could've danced on the former emperor's corpse for Sithis's sake! :P Ah ok xD I guess that would be the easiest way to give the player more freedom in making their backstory. Although, unlike their other game, i didn like Oblivion's beginning. Feels like you were put in there for something serious, as opposed to Skyrim and fallout: NV's begginings where you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time.
