As many of you know, the opening horse wagon scene can easily bug out during the heavily scripted scene.
It can happen in vanilla, but is much more likely to affect those with heavily modded installs.
In my case, the first wagon would outpace mine, and since the second cart follows the first, it would get stuck in Helgen. I could not get through the scene to start the game.
There are hundreds of posts across the internet about this issue since the game was initially released, but the solutions I found didn't help or helped only a little.
Here is my solution. During the intro scene, if you get too far behind the first cart, open the console using the tilde key ` and enter the following:
pushactoraway 000B9DF2 1
What this does is "push" the horse pulling the first wagon and causes a pause, allowing your wagon to catch up. I found entering one or two such commands during the journey to Helgen was enough to keep me close, and it totally resolved my problem.
I had never seen this solution before after pulling my hair out with this bug, so perhaps others might find it useful.
Happy gaming!
Non-vanilla style alternate solution: Alternate Start - Live Another Life mod
"Live Another Life provides an alternative means to start the game for those who do not wish to go through the lengthy intro sequence at Helgen."
