Expansion Delay

This mod fixes Bethesda's overly enthusiastic expansion hooks by delaying the Dark Brotherhood attacks (for Tribunal) and limiting intrustive dialogue topics to a few NPCs (Bloodmoon). Bethesda probably assumed that everyone would be high enough level when the expansions came out and didn't bother to account for new players and characters.

• []You won't be bothered by assassins until pretty far into the main quest. SPOILER ALERT You won't be attacked until you have been named Hlaalu Hortator. An early assassin attack doesn't make sense lore-wise. Almalexia straight up calls the PC Nerevarine. Also, Helseth wouldn't plan an assassination on a no-name. END OF SPOILER

  []The expansion forces you to start the Tribunal quest, to be no longer bothered by assassins when you rest. To prevent this forced feeling I made the stream of assassins stop earlier, at the time a guard tells you the assassins are likely members of the Dark Brotherhood ("A guard has told me that my attackers were likely members of the Dark Brotherhood, and that I have been targeted for assassination. He suggests I speak with Apelles Matius in Ebonheart for more information."). At that point (TR_dbAttack 30) you have all the information you need, and the possibility to start the Tribunal questline has been introduced in a not too compelling way. You no longer have to interrupt your adventures for a trip to Ebonheart to stop the attacks. Lorewise the Dark Brotherhood attacks should start during a certain point in the Vvardenfell mainquest. It would be awkward to be forced to start the Tribunal mainquest at this point.

  []SPOILER ALERT A check was added if you killed Dagoth Ur, in case you do the main quest the backdoor way, and are never named Nerevarine by any Ashlander tribe. END OF SPOILER

  []Farming the assassins is still possible (if that's your thing). Just don't talk about the attacks to guards.

  []You won't be bothered by the dialogue that Bloodmoon introduces until level 6 (just like Bethesda did with Tribunal expansion on the Xbox). This was necessary to prevent the new dialogue from blocking other dialogue at low levels.

  []Now only one random generic Imperial guard has his son send to Solstheim. I found it hard to believe that Jonus Maximus, being a high ranking legionary, had no idea why his son was sent to Sols
