10 More Video Games That Kill You In The First 10 Seconds
6. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
The Elder Scrolls games, and anything under the Bethesda banner as a whole involve elements of choice. It’s kinda their thing. And that choice begins even earlier than you’d expect in Skyrim, as before you have an option to choose whether to follow the Imperials or the Nords, you can fulfil your destiny a hell of a lot earlier by facing Alduin one on one.
After all, you’re the chosen one; you’re the Dragonborn. You’ve got the literal power and soul of a dragon housed within your mortal frame, and Alduin is here because he KNOWS you’re the biggest threat to his life above high cholesterol from an all meat diet.
If the player accepts their destiny and accepts this fight one on one... they’re likely, probably, maybe definitely going to die. Mainly due to the fact that your hands are still bound, you’ve got no armour, and you're not even aware of the power of Dragon shouts. It can be a heroic life... but not a very long one.
