Have you ever wondered what would happen if you didn't follow Ralof or Hadvar and instead stayed in Helgen? Well, I decided to find out. I started a new game, rode in the carriage as usual, avoided the execution, and ran up the tower stairs with Ralof. After that, I reached Ralof and Hadvar, who were urging me to join them. But since, in this playthrough, I fear them more than the dragon, I decided to wait. After a while, Alduin flew straight to me, and here's what happened.
