“The second campaign starts before the arrival of the Dragonborn, and then ends after the arrival of the Dragonborn. Echenique confirmed that these characters will include the infamous ‘arrow to the knee’ guard as well as the legendary Dragonborn, a role that players originally occupy in the video game but will be filled by a non-player character in the board game. In an interview with Polygon, game designer Juan Echenique revealed that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - The Adventure Game will take place “25 years before” the events of the video game, with certain non-player characters from Skyrim appearing in the board game as their younger selves. The upcoming board game adaptation of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will take place before the events of the original video game.
