As the title says.

I guess the same as if you don't want to be Nerevar. Don't do the main quest.
Then again, even if you didn't want to do the main quest, you still are the Nerevar. Just no one knows about you.

what is wrong with you how cool is that to be a dragonborn

» Fri May 13, 2011 6:30 pm

Don't play the main quest.

Just don't do the main quest?

Though... you may have to fight an occasional dragon, maybe?

Then I guess the Dragons will kill you whenever they see you.

Don't buy the game?

Or just don't do the main quest.

The only correct answer I can give is "Then don't play Skyrim"

You probably won't be forced to do the main quests so you can just denounce that you were ever named dragonborn and play accordingly.

Go play Oblivion/Morrowind/Daggerfall/Arena/other game/go outside and have a life?

i think that the dragon's will be like oblivion gates. They'll only appear after a certain point in the main quest.

Depends on when the dragons start attacking, I guess. I hope it's like in Oblivion where gates didn't start popping up before you'd gotten a bit into the main quest -- then you could hop around in a not totally wrecked countryside pretending the Oblivion crisis never happened. (it wasn't very visible when it did happen, though... except maybe for Kvatch - but hey, who cares 'bout Kvatch?)

2.buy another game

You can always be the emo hero who regrets his mission and goes about it miserably, hating life despite his super powers...

» Fri May 13, 2011 8:34 am

SOL... Of course you can always pretend you're not, but you still are. Tamriel needs saving... and someones got to do it!

As the title says.

then the greybeards wont teach you how to use dragon shouts

» Fri May 13, 2011 11:21 am

Many answers...

a) Don't get the game.
b.) Don't play the game.
c)lolwut?

Hey fellow forumgoers! It doesn't matter if he doesn't do the main story, he's still the Dragonborn!

Too bad.

» Fri May 13, 2011 8:16 am

Considering "DragonBORN", I think you're past the point of choosing by the time the game starts.

» Fri May 13, 2011 1:39 pm

Too bad.

Yes. You are going to be a worshipped, dragon massacring god-hero and you are going to like it!

» Fri May 13, 2011 11:50 am

Then don't do the main quest and don't roleplay as the Dragonborn, I guess.

» Fri May 13, 2011 12:43 pm

go join the greywardens xd

» Fri May 13, 2011 5:52 pm

Don't do the Main Quest. Very few of my characters do/did, in any of the ES games.

» Fri May 13, 2011 8:30 pm

As the title says.

Well, if I don't want to be a powerful plumber killing turtles and snagging mushrooms I don't play Mario games.

If I don't want to be Gordon Freeman, I don't play Half-Life games.

So logically, if I don't want to be the dragonborn... :shrug:

» Fri May 13, 2011 5:32 am

Well.. so sorry, if you don t want to be the dragonborn, the world won t end and, dragons will appear to bother you until your fed up with the game and, if you have still any pacience, you ll complete it just for the sake of finally being able to shelve it until modders kick in doing the job that should have been done since the beginning.

Exactly like in Oblivion.
In earlyer title you could ignore it, but since OB it seems they are decided to hammer it on you.
