I'm very excited for that escape-from-prison intro. i have a feeling beth will make it epic.I want to be in solitary, maybe a small one-room prison out on a forested mountain, bars on the windows and no glass in them, exposed to the elements, snow blowing into the room. Two soon-to-be-dead guards speaking to each other outside. Somehow, i figure out a way outside and kill the poor guards. I check the table they were sitting at for a note from his chief. it will read something like 'be careful strange rumblings have been reported in the region.' maybe it will refer to the prisoner and hint at some of my special (dragonborn) abilities. Before i can finish reading the note, a dragon appears over the ridge......

ahhh im excited haha. anyone have any thoughts on how the game will begin? (ps i am relatively new so apologies if this topic has been discussed ad nauseum)

If there's no door I'm gunna have to make one

But that's not how it happens,regadless of what you want..

We know that we get saved by a Blade....
:/

Like morrowind. No stress, simple, etc. It took me forever to figure daggerfall. dying evry two seconds didnt help. Ugh.

The way I see it, we will be getting ready to walk to our execution block amongst all the other prisoners and Esbern will jump out from nowhere and be all like; "You dawg, I heard you want to execute this mofo, aight. I see where you be coming from but this dawg here is Dovah-[censored]-kiin so you better let him go or you be [censored]tin' yo self when dragons come and kill y'all". Or maybe it's just wishful thinking on my part. :c

Maybe he's using his power as the last Blade...? You know, nothing battelish but mainly talk. Or there could be a dragon coming in just when we're about to get executed and then Esbern comes and takes us away. Hmmmmmm... Esbernnnn...

Ignore that.

I like to think that I rip the walls open with ma bare fists.

It would be nice to do it how it was shown in a trailer of The Witcher 2, where there are many ways (3 shown) to get out of the prison cell. Granted that trailer was I think a good way into the game, so previous decisions would have affected things.

Regardless, I have a feeling it will be the sameish thing as in Oblivion.

Would be cool to just simply use magic to escape...You wonder if your character is a mage, why can't simply :flamethrower: his way out of prison...

Melt the window bars with my hands/flamethrower

undo my cuffs grab the executioners axe slay the dragon that interruped my execution and open a damaged wall with the unrelenting force dragon shout i get from killing my first dragon how else? :whistling:

Get the guards hooked on the skooma supply a mate throws over the wall for me and just stroll out

I want...



Luckily for me, that's what will happen since the game's opening has already been confirmed.

I don't think you're actually "In Prison" at the start of the game, I think it's been said that you're being led up to your execution.

I'm assuming a Dragon is going to attack, and you make your escape during the commotion.

Currently writing an audio choose-your-own-adventure where you are rescued from the prison by a distraught executioner who was hired by the warden to take justice into his own hands by killing the accused before they go to trial. The executioner leads you to a backroom where he is supposed to kill you, but instead cuts your chains and tells you to scadoodle down a hole so he can bring the warden to justice. Going into the hole will take you to the sewer system, or you can go back to the cells and kill the warden so that the executioner will give you a separate route out and he too has to fend for himself. This also culminates in an introduction to the justice system, where you get the choice to present evidence in the case and prove one's (or both) of the people innocent (or guilty). I have pipe dreams.

This. This is how I want to be saved from execution :disguise:

on an entirely different subject can anyone have a guess at how big and ugly this executioner will be?

My character already has an approach to activities immediately after escape, but I assume that some of the escape activity is scripted, as it was in Oblivion. It would be beneficial to know where our characters are being held captive. I think the Imperial Legion might be the ones that have our characters in their custody.

nah some blade comes and saves you and tells you you are dovahkiin, also in the beginning I think Todd mentioned the throats yelling dovahkiin and following their shout

Well, Nordic, so that should say something right there, though he might wear a black hood.

Here's how I hope it happens.

1. Some guy takes your information down and then you get shuffled off to a cell.

2. Then someone comes to rescue you.

3. You take part in a short and nearly non existant intro like MW.

I really hate having to go through that whole dungeon and wait for the emperor to mosy his ass along to the end of the tutorial before I can play how I want in Oblivion. Hell if it would've sped things up I would've killed him myself.

*dragon shouts* FUS FUR DAH *force push*

1. Ask politely for the key - acquire key - GTFO
2. Start a party - get roof on fire - GTFO
3. Acquire mysteriously concealed lockpick (ew!) - Throw at guard - guard gets pissed and opens cell for a good old prisoner beating - GTFO
4. Open the door - GTFO
5. Open console - change name - close console - tell guard you're not his guy - GTFO
6. Acquire pudding - be satisfied with prison life - do not GTFO
7. Suddenly realise that all this time you've been staring at a door without walls around it - GTFO
8. Cast Flare until Destruction = 100 - [censored] fire and GTFO
9. Acquire teaspoon - Build up happy relationship with it - die in jail
10. Open console - tcl - close console - GTFO
11. Lick wall - freeze tongue to wall - Guards come to help - GTFO
12. Lift up cell - go to where you want - put down cell - GTF...O?

I would try to escape through the sewer system like in Oblivion, destroying each and every single rat and goblin that i run into! :toughninja:

Some sort of attack on the prison by a dragon. Which will cause chaos and leaving you the opportunity to escape the prison

I think it's going to go this way:
- A dragon attacks the execution scene, causing wide scale panic. Esbern sees his moment to act. He runs to you, and unties you. You escape the scene together.


So ugly that you would puke if you saw his face. Thankfully he has the black hood on.
