What is the main story line in skyrim going to be i know it has a lot to do with dragons but what will be the purpose bliviongate:

Save the world.

Alduin (Nordic version of Akatosh) is coming to eat the world. It's the Dragornborn's job to stop him.

You're the last Dragonborn, go around and kill all dragons. :whistling:

We don't know a lot about the main quest yet.
What we do know is, that Alduin, a legendary dragon, has come back, and you are the Dovakhiin, dragonborn, who is essentially someone who is born with dragon blood and are able to fight/combat the dragons. That's all we really know.

Seems to be a viable option...since that is generally the main idea of TES story lines.

All we really know at the moment is:

There is a daddy dragon (Alduin) that, with his baby dragons, is looking to destroy mankind.
There is a Dragonborn who is in Prison just about to be executed...........He escapes............and.................

It snows.

Thats about as far as the story goes at the moment.

Thanks for all the help everyone

Here's the story.

When a daddy dragon loves a human momma VERY much, they get get together and he puts his "fiery breath" in her "enchanted robe" and make a dragon-born.

The story is about you making the population of Imperials inside skyrim a bit lower while being an Argonian... Then Dragon's come and you have the choice to scream at Imperial's.... True Story :whistling:

The Story is about you going through 80 Hours in the Game and by the time you are ready with your Very Powerful Character to take on the Evil Dragon, some minor dude comes along and steals your spotlight while defeating the Boss and everybody cheers you as the Hero for actually doing Absolutly Nothing. :facepalm:

Oblivion - Martin Septim = Way to go Steal my Glory :toughninja:

Not really escape... Im pretty sure I read something about, you get saved by the last of the blades (whose name I can't remember....) and how I can't remember >_>...

You draw your sword and make Skyrim your b****

Basically it has been revealed that the events of the previous games were only things leading up to this very big thing.

All the main quest plots from Arena, Daggerfall, Morrowind, and Oblivion weakened barriers that kept the dragons out, and now Alduin is free to come and try to eat the world.
We have to stop him.

There's also a civil war underway between the noble houses/ruling clans/council of kahunas of skyrim when the king is suddenly dead (assassinated or just kicked the bucket? i cant recall)

may lead the player become the new king of skyrim perhaps or maybe you decide who becomes king.

this is the backdrop to the main fight with alduin.

You're a skyrim pickle farmer named Al Kaholic being put to death for indecent odor. You're lawyer Mary Ju Anna gets you off. Insanity plea. cant help any further.

Eat dragon pies.

The main story will revolve around my Nord mud wrestling large Dragons bent on destroying the world as we know it.

Well in my game anyway!

From what we discussed in-depth about lore, it's likely to be this: the events of the four previous games messed up the dragon-god Akatosh (yeah, turns out mortals can do that) so now he's entered the mortal realm in the shape of Alduin, the World Eater to destroy it utterly. A prophecy has foretold that this would happen, and that there would be a mortal with the same ability as the dragons (the aptly named dragon-shouts) who will fight to prevent this. Namely you. Now, since he is pretty much the source of all time in the world, you can't just go and kill him. So you'll need to figure out how to turn him back into the good-willing Akatosh. That, or lock him up somewhere where he can't do harm.
This is set on the background of a civil war in Skyrim, sparked by the death of it's king and no succession. Each major city boasts a political faction seeking to secure rule over the war-torn country, hostilities between which have turned into all-out war.

The rest are details that the devs go to great lengths not to divulge.

I sincerely hope that the whole story doesn't get summed up as "you the dragonborn go on to exterminate all of the one dimensional evil dragons." I hope there are some plot twists along the way, and I hope some of the dragon characters are more interesting than just being big bad evil monsters. I'm also interested to see just how involved the civil war is with the plot.
