I've always been known to get into trouble', implying that the Dragonborn has a criminal past even before the events of the game.

Firstly, he'll ask the Dragonborn about the first time they've been arrested and one of the responses is 'Young. If the player ever does the quest 'No On Escapes Cidnha Mine', a prisoner named Braig can ask the player about their past. If they were already a citizen from Skyrim, this would have never been an issue in the first place and the Dragonborn wouldn't have been arrested, therefore never starting the events of the game.

While the history of the last Dragonborn is entirely up to the player, there are a few hints throughout the game that are either dependent on the player's responses to certain questions and what's already confirmed in lore through context clues.įirstly, it's possible and highly likely that the Dragonborn isn't from Skyrim at all, given how they were arrested before the start of the game for 'trying to cross the border' illegally into Skyrim.
