Skyrim: Okay, first you’re gonna be almost executed by the empire, then a dragon will save you by destroying the town and killing everybody.
Oblivion: You have to fight your way through a dungeon protecting the Emperor from Mythic Dawn assassins, then take the sacred amulet to the Heir to the throne.
Morrowind: We’re just gonna dump you in this shitty little swamp town with a note to find a guy. See ya!
