So....onto the good stuff!

CHANGE LOG Version 2. 0 --------------------------------

Modified Player dialogue in every quest! Now you can confront the person you're killing with their crimes! Also made you sound slightly less psychopathic when taunting victims or speaking to fellow brotherhood members...

Added 3 New lore books in different locations along the Dark Brotherhood Quest!

Added more information about Grelod the Kind at Honor Hall Orphanage. For those of you who are still squeamish about killing her, I suggest you download Innocence Lost Alternative which is fully compatible with this mod and offers a way out of killing her personally. If however you seek greater justification to kill her, I suggest you 1) speak to the children about her and 2) Read a few interesting things in her room.

Added another "clue" to get you through the initiation quest. May not make you feel completely guiltless for killing one or all of them, but at least you have an idea.

Fleshed out contract backgrounds. You now have a background of some kind on every person you're killing. Cleaned up typos and added quest description content that reflects the background of the person you're killing.

Added more clues (see clue list in articles section for spoilers!) and a final treasure hunt at the end!

All dossier's now provide a training point level.

Lots more! Feel free to discover! :)

THE THIRD UPDATE WILL COME AS SOON AS I CAN GET IT TO YOU! Scripting for "let them go" option is coming along but still slow work.
