Regarding the beginning of the game:
The game starts by you witnessing your own execution, before presumably, you are either rescued or given a reprieve.
This is how I think it will play out:
I think that we will see a hooded character's head from the back being dragged towards his/her's execution. Then the hood will be pulled back and the character creation interface will be opened.
So if you choose [No.] when they ask if your done with making your character we get to see the character get executed?
