To 100% this game would imply that I care about the main plot. No TES game has actually ever get me hooked up on the plot. Nearly every time I stopped caring about it after the third quest and started enjoying the pure freedom I have in those games.
And to be honest, I predict that the plot will be stupid and full of cliches like nearly every RPG nowadays. You are the chosen one, not only because you can save the game but also because you are dragonborn... *sigh*... When will we get a RPG where you have to PROVE that you are special? Think of Ultima4, you had to prove that you are the avatar by living the virtues. You could be a dick but to finish the game you had to act like this figure you are supposed to be in nearly every modern RPG. You had to act like a hero, not running into peoples homes and loot everything they have.
Wind Waker: The Gods didn't really bother with Link until he proved himself worthy.
Kingdom Hearts: Riku is the chosen one, not Sora.
Tales of Symphonia/Legendia/Abyss/Vesperia: Play Vesperia. Just do it.
The R:1 .hack// games: The actual chosen one dies (Well, goes into a coma) and you replace them.
Grandia I and III: MC is just some kid who gets into other people's business.
Last Scenario: Your character is just some army dude. Go figure.
Chrono Trigger: Chrono and friends were just putzing around until they found out that there would be an Apocalypse. Then they decided to stop it, all on their own.
Rondo of Swords: You're the chosen one's body double. The real chosen one died, so you take his place. Sadly, only the chosen one can use the holy sword...and it ain't you.
The Longest Journey: Your job is actually to find the chosen one, you aren't them.
Septerra Core: The chosen one is actually the main antagonist of the story. The main character isn't special in anyway. She just decided that killing people isn't how Septerra's savoir should act and went out to stop him.
Mass Effect 1: Shepard was just in the right place at the right time. Nothing special about him/her.
Evil Island: The main character is said to be the chosen one, but that's actually a lie to keep him in check.
Ys: The Ark of Napishtim: Adol is the chosen one, but he wasn't chosen to be the chosen one by virtue of being the chosen one. He'd killed so many of the Dark Gods that people decided he had to be the chosen one.
Shall I continue?
OT: I've never 100%'d anything and I sure as heck ain't gonna start now.
