📋 About This Mod
Renames some of the vanilla quests so the names don't give away the exciting points.
Some of Oblivion's quests have interesting plot points or developments...that are unfortunately immediately given away by the name of the quest itself. This renames them so the names won't give away those developments (twelve in total so far). Doesn't alter the quests in any other way, and can be merged into a Bashed Patch. This mod is best if you're new to playing Oblivion, haven't done all of the quests, or haven't played Oblivion in such a long time you've forgotten what happens.
Vague explanations of where to find these quests:
An inn in Chorrol.
A house in Bruma.
The Mages Guild questline...for four of them.
An inn in Anvil.
A house in Cheydinhal.
A house in Bravil.
The Fighter's Guild questline for one of them.
A merchant in Chorrol.
A house in the Imperial City Talos Plaza District.
List of name changes from old to new (contains spoilers):
Separated at Birth -> Imposter Syndrome
A Brotherhood Betrayed -> A Strange Happenstance
Ulterior Motives -> Bookworm in our Midst
A Plot Revealed -> Cold Shoulder
Information for a Price -> Just Business
Necromancer's Moon -> Strange Black Soul Gems (name 3/4ths by Thunderforge8)
Where Spirits Have Lease -> A New Lease on Life
A Brush with Death -> Painted into a Corner (name by Thunderforge8)
Caught in the Hunt -> A Web Weaved
Drunk and Disorderly -> Idle Hands
A Shadow over Hackdirt -> Dar-Ma in Deep Trouble
Nothing You Can Possess -> Fortune and Glory
If you think there are any other quest names that need changing, feel free to suggest them--preferably in spoiler tags if posted in the comments, as that's the entire point of this mod aha. If you think a new name could be better, feel free to suggest that as well--I struggled with a couple of them.
Thanks to Thunderforge8 for a couple of the names and bouncing ideas with me!

Feel free to do whatever you want with this, except sell it. Credit would be nice, but considering how easy this was, it's not required.
