📋 About This Mod
~~ Overview of the mod ~~
Featuring...
• New dialogue lines voiced with spliced vanilla lines.
• New and alternate scenes to account for your choices.
• A fully killable cast of main and side characters, and at any time. This includes Mercer, Brynjolf, Karliah, but also Brand-Shei, Madesi, Keerava, Bersi, Haelga, Sabjorn, Mallus Maccius, Gulum-Ei, Enthir, Delvin and Vex. Tonilia is still a work in progress (she is currently needed to give and exchange armor pieces).
• Most quest items (if it makes sense) can now be found from the start of the game and can be misplaced. This has direct consequences on the quest where these items are involved.
• Brand new choices throughout all the quests to truly role play.
~~ Changes per quest ~~
TG00: A Chance Arrangement
• Throughout the quest (before the distraction and after), you have the option to tell Brynjolf that you won't participate in his scheme. This option puts an early end to the whole TG questline and sends Brynjolf to the Flagon.
• The mark, originally Brand-Shei, can be another citizen if Brand-Shei is unavailable. As a result, Madesi and Brand-Shei aren't necessary anymore for the quest to start and complete.
• As soon as you are presented with the scehme, you can go to any city guard and put Brynjolf in jail. You have two options: be a Thane and use your authority to order the guard, or place the stolen ring in Brynjolf's pocket and convince the guard to investigate.
• Instead of doing what you are told, you can reverse pick-pocket Brynjolf to impress him and skip the quest entirely.
• Like in TCBM, you can convince Brynjolf to simply warn the mark and not send them to jail.
• If you imprisoned Brynjolf, Maven will be furious the next time you talk to her and will try to send you to jail yourself.
TG01: Taking Care of Business
• Haelga, Bersi and Keerava are made non-essential from the start of the game. If two of them or more are dead befroe Brynjolf gives you the assignment, you will be given a simple bedlam job targeting Riften instead.
• You have the option to pay off the debts of the shopkeepers yourself to bypass the quest entirely.
• To handle the shopkeepers, you have two new options: you can use persuasion / deception, or tell them that you will handle their debt. The Guild will be none the wiser, and the shopkeeper will give a small token of their appreciation for your help.
TG02: Loud and Clear
• The quest can be given, handled and returned to either Brynjolf or Mercer Frey (to account for the death of one of them).
• In Vanilla, Goldenglow is inaccessible before TG02.
