Live Another Life provides an alternative means to start the game for those who do not wish to go through the lengthy intro sequence at Helgen.

The eight have forsaken you! Or… have they? It seems as though you’ve been forgotten, soon to rot away and die. At least you have that leak in the wall for water. The dungeon is cold, damp, and worse still, you’re running out of food. It’s been so long since seeing daylight you no longer know what month it is anymore. Your trial was supposed to be weeks ago, only nobody has come for you. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse, you’ve been arrested and thrown in the dungeons. Misery and despair have haunted you all your life.
