Boxow Optional Quick Start

Description

Boxow spends too much time in the sewers, and wishes to leave them faster sometimes. When Boxow starts a new game and it is one of those times, when prompted if one wants to skip the introduction one selects Yes. If you spend too much time in the sewers too, Boxow has the solution here. See the screenshots for Boxow's journey. You will, yes?

Installation instructions

Install like any other .esp file.

Main features

- Skip the introduction dungeon with a simple prompt when making a new game!

- The Goblin Shaman Staff is added to Rindir's Staves via script if the quick start is selected. No uniques are lost.

- Forced to select a Sign and Class, no broken characters! (Boxow is forgetful and is thankful for this often)

- No OP starting items, just a simple Iron Shortsword. If you need armor there's the vanilla bandit camp immediately across the water.

- If more starting items are desired, configure the ini to add whatever items you want!

- Quests update properly. You are given the Amulet of Kings, and can continue to play the main quest.

- Tutorial messages are completely disabled whether or not you skip the introduction.

- Does nothing else. Boxow does not like complicated things.

Requirements

OBSE is required. Created with OBSE version 1. 2. 0. 416

Known Issues

- Other mods that expect the player to be in the Sewers for an extended time may break.

- Other mods that expect the player to enter GameMode (i.e. walking around) before showing the Sign or Class menus may break.

- If you use a mod that breaks because of one of these two issues, Boxow recommends the excellent alternative Quicker Start instead.

- Cosmetic issue with the Sneak Eye icon appearing during prompt. Mods that disable the visibility of the sneak eye by default fix this.

- None other than the above issues. If you find any, please report them to Boxow and they will be looked at!

Fixing the Sneak Eye Appearing

There is a minor cosmetic issue with the Sneak Eye appearing when selecting whether or not you would like to skip. If you're like Boxow, this bothers you. Boxow has patched his own xml files to fix this, and will give instructions on how to do that here.

- Navigate to and open the file ` Oblivion\Data\Menus\Main\hud_reticle.xml `

- Near the bottom under the "hudreticle_sneak" xml element, set the tag ` <visible> &true; </visible> ` to ` <visible> &false;
