Good point about the MQ. Oblivion is the one example where the hero of the MQ isn't the player, it's Martin.
If only they'd found a way to do that with all the other quest lines in the game. Arquen taking over as Listener in the DB line, Raminus becoming Archmage, Modryn as FG Guilmaster etc. The TG isn't too much of a problem, as the ending changes the whole of history anyway, which can include hiding the player's participation.
Then they'd have canonical plots for each of them and the player would just be a facilitator.
