oh you know the kind that involves a big ugly burly nord with an eyepatch with an axe and your head being pressed onto a tree stump ready to be chopped off

we should start the game tied to a stake before a hateful mob, with the executioner walking towards us with a flaming torch.

then esbern yells "HALT" from the mob.

My guess is that we are led to the excecutioner and as our head is placed on the block and the axe is about to fall a dragon attacks killing the excecutioner and everyone flees. At this point Esbern slips in and unties us and we slip away in the confusion.
The other option is that Esbern slips in while we are in the cell puts some unfortunate person (possibly a guard) in our place, that person is lead to his excecution with a bag on his head and killed and we are let out the back door and sent to meet the Grey Beards

That'd be cool if we were locked in a cinematic first person for that part.

maybe the axe man is blind or drunk

I like number 1 a lot.

First off, there are probably people out there who don't know how the game begins and don't want to know. So the topic is a bit of a spoiler to them.

Second, it would be awesome if Bethesda included the ability to give generic lines of dialogue to whoever escorts you, like "I didn't do it!" and such. Flesh our your character's backstory through dialogue.

This... OP you should think about marking spoilers next time, in oblivion bethesda ruined it for me when they showed how the game started. :sadvaultboy:

Slowly stretched until you are turn in half

Cool I dind't know there was any! Do you have a link?

Try Googling "Skyrim executioner". And clicking on the images tab.

Some things don't need links.

While everyone seems convinced it's going to be a beheading, I would think it'd be a hanging. Generally more efficient and less difficult to clean up afterwards! :foodndrink:

Actually a hanging is survivable. Losing your head isn't.

Firing squad.

I hope you guys do realize that most hangings kill by breaking the person's neck and "old-style" choke hangings are mainly used in movies and stuff

I'm hoping it turns out in a similar fashion to the dead space opening in which you have to out run danger with no chance of fighting back until you escape said danger.

I hope it goes like classic medieval executions. would be awesome to have Esbern going all Altair on the guards and then freeing us (doubt it'll happen though)
