I want it to be as vague as possible, or no backstory whatsoever.

I really don't hope for any more lore information to be honest. I wanna find out things like that for myself...
In my opinion they've kinda already revealed too much.

For me, the more personalization the better. Pre-made characters don't do it for me.

As any other TES fan, clean slate, and I'll let my own paint bleed over it.

having you history fully fleshed out including your race (as noted in the poll option) would kinda make character customization rahter limiting, no?

I would be happy with origin stories like in DA:O that play out a bit of our character's life before ending up in jail as long as they are shorter than DA:O's origin stories and far more varied. If not, clean slate.

Clean slate they have reavealed too much informations already.

for those who will say "they only let us known we are the dovakhiin" i say:

Too much information already, knowing that lowered SKYRIM impression a lot.

I do not want the game to dictate my characters background. So, clean slate.

Clean slate. I have a very detailed back story written up for my character and I don't want the game contradicting it. :(

Clean Slate. Like others I have detailed backstories for most of my characters and do not want anything to say otherwise.

I'm just another member of the anonymous masses. Every character I make has a different story and personality, this wouldn't be possible if we were given anything other than a clean slate.

I strongly disagree for obvious reasons.

The gods gave birth to me in jail...that's my only guess to my origin and to the reason I'm hear.

NPC: S'Maara, my female khajiit friend! It seems like it was only yesterday that I visited you on your tenth birthday in your hometown Whiterun. I remember that your favorite colour is green and you have two sisters and a dog. You left to go on adventures because-
PC: *sticks fingers into ears* LALALALALALALALALALALALA- I CAN'T HEAR YOU LALALALALALALALALALALALALA!
