I'll be picking one of the human races and going with my usual human character name of Vincent Belsara.
I'm also hoping that we are playing as the Dragonborn and not supporting him/her as some people believe as one of the oldest titles Vincent has if actually Dragonborne, not identical in meaning but in terms of audio they sound the same, so the experience will only be enhanced by having people refer to me as the Dovahkiin as for a change it'll actually feel like they no who I am, not just an Emperor's anonymous errand boy. Time will tell I suppose.
It has been confirmed that we play as Dovahkiin.
No dragonborn has been seen in decades until you arrive - a dragonborn with the potential to stand against the tide.

Dragonborn
Called "dovahkiin" in the language of
dragons, these rare individuals are true
dragon hunters. As the game begins,
your hero may be the last one left.
As for my name, why do you want my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name!
