Gothic 1: thrown into magical prison. People go in, only ore comes out.
Gothic 2: End of gothic 1 basically rocks fall you die (?), beginning of 2 you get pulled out of the rubble by a wizard (and quest giver!)
Gothic 3: You start in the middle of a battle with fairly badass orcs. You basically have to dodge a one shot kill at the moment you get control of your toon. I didn't like this beginning very much.

Risen 1: shipwreck survivor
Risen 2: you begin the game at the tail end of an alcoholic bender that is implied to have lasted many months.
Risen 3: Your die, but not permanently.

Elex: You are betrayed and (almost) killed. In the process you recover from an addiction to a superman drug.

There, that's the Piranha Bytes list.
