    The beliefs of your character should be based on his own background, not on someone else's opinion.

    So, I’ve been thinking about trying to emulate mods like “you are not the Dragonborn” on mod-less console. I could pretend like the trek through BFB for the Golden Claw and the Dragonstone and all that stuff never happened, but then my immersion’d get broken when the game reminded me about it. Any suggestions?

    I just play it as the Nords only seeing you as the dragonborn. They see you slay a dragon so you MUST be a dragonborn. News spread and voila you are the dragonborn but only in title.

    Without mods, I avoid Whiterun , just head in any other direction from Helgen.  If I entered Whiterun, I avoided going too close to the Jarl's place, plenty of other holds to serve.   When I wanted dragons, like Vezrabuto says, don't take any notice of what the Nords say. I think most of the time, in most places, you can keep your head down, and mind your own business.

    I've heard stories about people who  will even go as far as to complete the Bleakfalls Barrow quest and gather the Golden Claw, but then leave the Dragonstone in the last chest and walk away. If you don't ever turn in the Dragonstone, you won't ever have dragons.

    You could also play a character who quite practically runs as far away from Helgen as possible the second you're out of the tutorial. After all, what does the character owe either of those soldiers? One was fine with stepping outside of regulations to execute you just because an officer told him to. The other is a weirdo rebel soldier who asked you to wear his dead friend's clothes before the guy had even gotten cold. The rational answer to either scenerio is to run hard and fast the second you can make a break for it, then do some bounty work in Falkreath until saving up to move to a bigger city even farther from Helgen.

    I was wondering do you people use console commands in order to set up your character from a roleplay perspective?

    For example I 'm playing characters sometimes that require this in order to feel... immersive(?) due to their backstories so I do not consider it cheating when I use console commands to add a spell or something along these lines to my character when I 'm starting the game, do you?

    I play on console but to be honest if i could use the console i would sometimes. I already simulate alternate start. If youre character has for example his Family Heirloom with him, for example a silver sword, then go for it, add in the sword if its in his Backstory.

    Yeah for example the character I 'm playing right now is a sorcerer of sorts more D&D version rather than ES, I will be posting something about him soon-ish and I set him up from the beginning with certain spells he knew. When I think of a character I go in make him, customize him with console when needed, save the game and exit then when I get some motivation to begin the playthrough and I go in to play the character I 've already set up according to his roleplay it is much more immersive rather than going about it casually buying basic spells and learning them and all  that when he already has a past and it's not possible not to know a few things things already.

    I like dnd sorcerers^^ Natural spellcasters who dont need to study like the Wizards but have a smallet spell list ^^ did you consider givlng him a bloodline? Its used heavily in Pathfinder and you gain more spells of youre bloodline the more you grow as a spellcaster.

    I would do it more, if I were more capable. I gave my Breton (from Markarth) to the Forsworn Faction after she'd done the Cidhna Mine. She wandered the Reach to learn more of her father's background. It gave her access to all their hideouts, but in return she never abused their hospitality. All she took was salt, and read a spell book. 

    After getting all three of Kynes Peace shouts, I'm trying to access the spriggans Faction, and after finding what they used Nettlebane for :/, unfaction her from the Forsworn. 

    (I haven't player her for a while, because a Level 40+ with 100hp is hard to pick up without a death in the first encounter. I should.)
