A couple more things that we've discussed that I believe haven't made it onto this thread yet:
1. We're beginning prior to Alduin's attack on Helgen, but it should happen soon. I personally like the idea of a "Where were you when it happened" thread - some characters might be close enough to Helgen to see the destruction, some may only hear thundering noises and feel theearthNirn quake beneath them. Then the rumors start flowing that dragons have returned, and we can actually have dragon encounters in other threads.
2. The Dragonborn is an NPC who will never appear on-screen. He's also a colossal jerk who abuses his power - in essence, the typical Skyrim player who's just messing around in the game. We may come across the chaos left in his wake - goats shouted off of mountaintops, dead shopkeepers with buckets on their heads, marketplaces with goods and wares scattered all over ground.
