Once again I want to take time to try and protect new players (and new characters). Don't worry I am talking for myself also. Every other updates I start fresh.

If in Elsweyr we see the "return" of Abnur Tharn (among others) then it stand to reason that we have to have gone through the original main storyline.

SO PLEASE HAVE IT AS A CHOICE TO START THE GAME WHERE WE WERE STARTING IT ON 4 RAINS' HAND 2e582 … or April 4, 2014.... that way we can meet Abnur Tharn correctly in his full "unglory" !

PLEASE
During the afternoon of Loredas, 6 Sun’s Dawn 2e578 a big piece of Aetherius fell to Nirn. It was the first major piece of Aetherius to fall on Nirn in more than five hundred years. It scattered around the world as millions of shards. It was rapidly documented by Lady Cinnabar of Taneth in her pamphlet Aetherial Fragments that "... when three shards meet, they re-form into a silvery prism by unknown process and confer the power unlocked by the merger to a nearby being." The Order of the Black Worm, commonly known as the Worm Cult, reappeared in Tamriel shortly thereafter and some of its members are avidly searching said shards.
In the last week of First Seed 2e579, an arcane explosion occurred in the Imperial City — a night of storms, and trembling terrain. They named it the "Soulburst". That day Emperor Varen Aquilarios disappeared without a trace. His wife, Clivia Tharn, ascended to the Ruby Throne as Empress Regent under the guidance of the Necromancer Mannimarco. Ushering a time of increased instability within the Empire of Cyrodiil which finally grew into “The Three Banners War”.

    Agreed, we really should be able to have a choice of where we want to start out our characters.

    This is true. However, the OP's post was.... really hard to parse. Not sure if s/he was meaning only if you had been a player since the game landed, or what....

    Way of doing it right now is to skip the tutorial then wayshrine back to either Vulkhel Guard, Daggerfall or Davon's Watch. We keep the extra skill but I would still prefer to start where I want...

    You can't skip the tutorial your first time, though, and if OP meant it the way I'm interpreting it, it would be a bit confusing for new players to meet Abnur Tharn and then meet him again in the main quest. I don't like the fact that you can't pick which introduction you do, either.

    I really think this needs to be pushed more by the community. The choice to force new players to start at the Chapter has been heavily criticized since its inception. And most definitely flies in the face of changes to One Tamriel as it forces the player to enter the game engaging in content they might not want to jump into immediately.

    I have a friend that recently started the game and was forced to jump in to Summerset, the ending to the last story arc, and will now need to circle around to Vvardenfell and Clockwork City to get a understanding of the rest of that story.

    Cadwell is also an important character in this story apparently. Raz will have a quest line as well.

    I think they might one day release this option but I think its the coding it in part that is holding them up. Point is this needs to be an option. To start from the very beginning not from the latest chapter dlc. Having the option to choose plus being able to play
    the chapter storyline from their tutorial quest which would be a normal quest for those that didn't start with that starting point. Just how they do it for the coldhabour original start now. This I feel would be the best option here.
