    What I liked about the College questline is how at the start you get treated as an actual student going on an expedition, but you make it ten steps into the dungeon and some ethereal mf shows up and tells you you’re the Chosen One of Legend.

    Like bitch I know I’m the Dragonborn just let me larp as a normal ass dude for once.

      That’s probably my favorite aspect of Morrowind, and I think most people bring it up when discussed. The fact that until level 10 most NPCs spit in your face made it feel earned.

      Are there any games where a plot or subplot is about everyone being The Chosen One of Legend for doing something mundane like just waking up? I feel like it could be a funny story

        The Bards Tale has a bunch of dumb kids being lied to that they’re the Chosen One and getting themselves killed. Every one you encounter gets an Oompa Loompa-style song about their death.

        Morrowind does something similar with its prophecy, except all the other people actually were potential Chosen Ones, with whoever fulfills the prophecy first mantling the position of Nerevarine.
