Delay Main Quest - no automatic start of Find the Heir quest

Description

This mod prevents main quest "Find the Heir" from starting automatically after delivering the Amulet of Kings to Jauffre.

This way you can remove the Amulet from your inventory and main quest from your quest log without finishing the main storyline. After all you only agreed to deliver the amulet, not work for the Blades, right?

There are two versions - one allowing for starting "Find the Heir" through dialogue option from Jauffre, one without this option.

Variant 1 - resume the main questline through dialogue option

After delivering the Amulet of Kings to Jauffre you can talk to him again and select "Mehrunes Dagon" dialogue option. This will start "Find the Heir" quest and you can continue the storyline further.

I couldn't load remastered ESP into Construction Set and had to finish tweaking through xEdit, so it can potentially cause some issues with this topic elsewhere. I haven't encountered any issues, but just in case there's variant 2.

Variant 2 - just prevent "Find the Heir" from starting automatically

After delivering the Amulet of Kings to Jauffre the quest "Deliver the Amulet" end, but you cannot start "Find the Heir" through any dialogue options. This effectively prevents you from doing the main storyline without console commands.

Should be less prone to issues due to fewer changes in scripts and dialogue topics. I haven't encountered any issues with variant 1, but there's this option just in case.

You can start "Find the Heir" through two console commands (first one allows "setstage" to be used, second starts the quest) and continue the main storyline as usual:

Altar. Cheat. AllowSetStage true

setstage MQ03 10

Switching between variants

After delivering the Amulet of Kings to Jauffre you can remove the mod, especially if you're using variant 2. You can later install variant 1 to start the main storyline through dialogue topic and remove it after "Find the Heir" starts.

The mod shouldn't impact anything else.

Installation

Unpack the mod archive in main game directory (the one with OblivionRemastered.exe).

Full path to ESP file should be: OblivionRemastered\Content\Dev\ObvData\Data\Prevent MQ03.esp

Add "Prevent MQ03.esp" (without quotation marks) at the end of your Plugins.txt file (OblivionRemastered\Content\Dev\ObvData\Data\Plugins.txt).

Should be safe to uninstall and install mid-save, however it won't affect anything if you started "Find the Heir" quest already.
