In Skyrim you start by travelling on a wagon because you were captured by the Imperial Legion. On the wagon with you is Ulfric Stormcloak (the leader of the rebellion against the Imperials), a horse thief who was caught in the crossfire when the stormcloaks were captured (you were also caught in the crossfire, apparently), and also on the wagon is a stormcloak soldier named Ralof. The wagon you are on with these three other men is heading toward a village called Helgen.
When you arrive in Helgen you are immediately taken off the wagon and have to wait in a queue while an Imperial soldier calls out a list of names (containing the names of the three men who were on the wagon with you). When he is done calling out their names he asks who you are, this is the point when character customization comes into play. After that you move over to where the executioner is waiting for you and your now two buddies because the horse thief tried to run away and got hit with an arrow.
A man from another wagon steps up to the block to go first and then the executioner does his job. Then it is your turn, you lie down, look up at the executioner almost saying please don’t do it, then a dragon lands on the tower behind him which obviously knocks him down.
The stormcloak soldier helps you to your feet and tells you to follow him, you should do as he says or you are going to die my friend. You follow him up the stairs of a tower that he led you into, just at that moment the dragon smashes its head through the wall. You stop and wait for the dragon to go away, and then the stormcloaks soldier tells you to jump through the hole and onto a balcony further down. He tells you he is going to jump too and then doesn’t and takes some other way down. You keep going until you find an Imperial soldier; you follow him for a while until you run into your stormcloak friend again. Then you are free to choose who you want to go with (the Imperial soldier or the stormcloak soldier). I like to go with the Imperial soldier first but it is entirely up to you who you want to go with.
Once you have chosen who to go with you go through a series of tunnels until you pop out the other side near the town of Riverwood. If you chose to go with the Imperial he will tell you to go to his uncle who lives in Riverwood. If you chose to go with the stormcloak he would tell you to go to his aunt in Riverwod.
After speaking to either of the soilders family members you are free to do anything you want in the game. You may even join the stormcloak or Imperial army by going to the cities of Windhelm or Solitude. In various cities there are guilds and collages, I’ll name a few:
• The thieves guild in Riften
• The companions in Whiterun which are a fighters guild
• The collage of mages in Winterhold
• The bards collage in Solitude
So guys good luck if you get this game and I guarantee you will have fun with it, and remember I only have told you about the beginning.
