So the only settlement we've seen in moderate detail is Riverwood.
OB started in the imperial city,which was fairly appropriate but where do you
think Skyrim will start? We do know that The PC is being led to his/her execution but
thats about it.

Discuss.

I'm guessing we'll really start off in the woods after escaping, but where the actual execution is, we can only wait and find out on 11.11.11

sick of spoilers,people keep posting on here
it will ruin the experience of the game if you know everything thats going to happen

Very near the border.

This is just my crazy theory, but since the game always gives you a way to start the main quest right after you make your character, I think that on the way to being executed, something will happen with a dragon. Maybe it will talk to you, and this will convince everyone that you are dragonborn?

In Helgen, supposedly.

It can't be in any major city as we know the location of the exit of the beginning cave thanks to the placement of characters during the demo and it doesn't seem to be anywhere near a major settlement. Other than that we know nothing.

Near the border, and not too far away from Riverwood. I suspect it won't be far from where Todd's demo started out.

I hope it starts in a fairly remote area maybe in a small town where people would naturally be wary of outsiders, which would provide a simple explanation as to why the PC is going to be executed (something happened and the new guy in town got blamed). Also when I find my first big city I would like to have another feeling like when I found the city of Vivec in MW.

A prison in the town of Helgen.

Oooh that's a great idea, I never thought about having a prison in the wilderness/away from society where they keep the worst of the worst--usually the prisons are only in major settlements in TES games, but this is a good theory.

A prison in the town of Helgen.

Yes. Dragon attacks during execution and a soldier or someone frees you so you can escape.

They never give a reason for why you are in prison, obviously for the role players.

You are in prison for killing the King of Skyrim. You are on your way to your execution when a dragon attacks and you escape during the attack.

I'm not totally sold on that the place is a real "prison" per say.

I think more from the description and placement its more likely a military outpost on the border.

We know your in a prison, however, we also know you were arrested for crossing the border.

My guess is Helgen is more of a border town/outpost. And the prison you are in, is actually a military stockade.

You aren't in prison for killing the King..
