📋 About This Mod

-Seamless Transition of Guild Master to Brynjolf-

Description

This mod edits the audio files, subtitles, reward items, quests, and quest messages to immersivly and seamlessly allow Brynjolf to be Guild Master of the Thieves Guild. Please see the video showcase for a few samples of the changes that this mod makes via dialog comparisons between vanilla and modded game-play. Additionally in the images tab I have provided snapshots of the modded quest objectives.

As a bonus this mod also alters the vanilla radiant quest requirement to get Special Thieves guild quests from 20 to 5. That is to say, by vanilla you must complete 20 radiant fetch quests given by Delvin or Vex, once you complete around 20 you get a unique special trophy displayed in the case, and ultimately leads to a unique set of items  and a chest after you complete a total of 100+ radiant quests for the thieves guild. I have altered this number to 5, thus ever 5 radiant quests you get a new trophy. With my mod you will only need to complete 25 or so radiant quests (as opposed to the vanilla 100+) to acquire all the trophies.
