This was something I quite liked about Oblivion, where Martin is the actual "chosen one", and you're just kind of there for the ride.

The Prisoner (so a protagonist of most TES games) is ALSO the chosen one. They're the being chosen to affect important events. Ans they're the only one to be able to affect their destiny

To my knowledge it's left somewhat up to interpretation whether or not you're important in Oblivion. Like you could've been placed by the divines in that prison, just popped into existence, and that's why the guards didn't know you were there. Or it could've really been a mixup with the watch - which is apparently "usual".

The Emperor saw your face in a vision, but did he see you because you are important or because you were the first domino in helping someone else achieve their destiny?

Yeah literally one of the conversation lines is "what happens to me now?" And the emperor is like

"How the fuck would I know? I'm about to die"
