The emperor is a dragon brn from what I have discovered through playing Oblivion and the trailers, this is why he can relight the dragon fires in Oblivion, I think it may actually be some kind of shout, but I'll try and find out what information in Oblivion made me realise that link and get back to you.
I could see it as a coincidence, because I highly doubt they'd let you become emperor, as you wouldn't be able to continue playing the game after the main questline (ruling a land duties and all). Outside of that, yes. The emperor is a dragonborn, and your character in Skyrim will be a dragonborn as well. In the trailer they used that as a reason that you alone can stand against the might of the dragons.
You also note that in the gameplay footage/interviews they mention that there will be a few other Dragonborn in Skyrim alongside you. So it might just be another "Help this guy try to become emperor" thing again.

The Emperor's Power had more to do with the Emperors Amulet didn't it?, Though they still had some hereditary link to it?
They had to wait for a new Dragonborn BECAUSE the necklace was destroyed?
Its been a long time >_<

Oh, so its likely the imperial line was diluted by filthy human wives, but some was still enough, wherewas Dovakiin is much more concentrated?rod_hynes said:
I'm not sure what you mean ? the Septim bloodline was mixed with Akatosh (the dragon aedra) which made them (the Septims) able to use the amulet of kings to light the dragonfires (isolating Mundus from Oblivion)Panzervaughn said:
Hell, even Martin was a bastard child of the bloodline and he was able to morph into the avatar of Akatosh, you call that diluted?
FROM UESP: "
The Amulet of KingsThe Amulet of Kings is a pendant traditionally worn by the ruling emperor of Cyrodiil. In the center of the amulet is the Chim-el Adabal, also known as the Red Diamond,[1] a huge Soul Gem of Ayleid origin. It is held in a golden clasp surrounded by eight smaller gems that represent the Eight Divines of the original Cyrodiilic pantheon, created by Queen Alessia. It serves as the symbol of the divine right of the Cyrodiilic emperors, is an important component of the coronation ceremony, and is a powerful artifact when used for divination. The soul of each reigning emperor is enshrined within the central stone, presumably during the coronation ritual involving the Dragonfires and the divine Covenant. In this way Cyrodiil's rulers are brought together in death, forming an 'oversoul' that may provide counsel to their successors.[2] The amulet may only be worn by certain individuals - those who can be said to have the 'Dragon Blood' in their veins. The specific requirements, however, are a subject of debate, and they may simply call for the attributes of a ruler or some divine mandate"

Wha... what? Are you seriously? That's what trailers do- they showcase gameplay and story. The warrior was just an example of a particular kind of gameplay- and I hate to burst your bubble, but I doubt there are many ways to deal with the dragons outside of murdering them. So really, the trailer did a pretty good job.the spud said:

This simply baffles me. It's cinematic- showing a particular archetype, and probably the most popular one. This version of Dovahkiin is clearly a warrior, and not likely a mage or a thief. Take it for what it is. Have you ever played Dragon Age Origins? Were you mad when the Haven trailer showed the Warden as a warrior, and not a mage or rogue? Or when DA2's Destiny trailer only showed a mage?the spud said:I'm talking about the character design. Look at this.Slowpool said:
The character model should be more inclusive of other classes, like stealth or mage based characters. I don't recall saying anything about the story, and yes, they have showed off several methods of gameplay, which is why they should show some character models more inclusive of those gameplay elements. And yes, there should be multiple ways to take down the dragons. Not strong enough on yoyr own? Use your high persuasion skill to get some guards and mercs to help you. That sort of thing.
Seriously, I don't see how this can bother anyone. I'm trying to understand. It's not a bad thing, per say, but confusing to me.
