My theory on this is that the Emperor is the one who tadpoled us. The Emperor was known to be in charge of the Nautiloid. We find this out from a book in the Vault.
(Some people say it wasn't the Emperor who tadpoled us because the eye color is different. I say it was and that visual differences are the result of changes made after the intro was put together. For instance, Lae'zel and her armor look completely different in that scene.)
Spotted this on a read of the thread and kind of glad it's not just me thinking this
always thought it was the emperor the armor and how he seems to be the one in charge of escaping the gith in the opening scene.
the eye change colour could be more to do his mind control being activated .
only spanner in the works is the dead mindflayer that says he tadpoled you .
On subject though it would of been nice to have a Tav personal quest but as said Dark Urge is probably what they wanted you to play its why you can have your pretty Elven goth's as your screenshot model.
Tav is basically durge with no evil for those who can't stand the bloody history you can't really connect a good Tav to the dead 3 for the story purpose there is too much missing.
I dont mind my Tav's being nondescript entities in the grand scheme of things I can self insert to a point . I do also like playing the Dark Urge not as a Dragonborn though I can't quite get myself to connect with them same with Orcs .
Not tried one of the other origins yet with 16 Tavs/Dark urges at various stages it will be a long time because 2 further Tav's/Dark urge are in the queue of my thoughts
