Offers 45 different starting places, and 3 groups of random starting places.
Starts your character in a picturesque dreamworld instead of the dungeon.

Unless you select Prison as your starting location, the main quest is postponed.
To start the main quest, go accuse Audens Avidius of corruption to his face. He'll toss you in jail (and take your stuff)! From there the main quest will begin as normal. Don't worry, you loot's not lost forever. That thug in uniform is keeping it!

If you select a home, you will take possession of the fully furnished home.
If you select a guild hall, you automatically join the guild.

Some of the starting locations are very cool! but I don't want to spoil the surprise.
Be ready for combat (or hiding) if you select Danger!

This mod has been designed to be as non-invasive as possible. It only changes 4 cells (to unlock doors that had no reference, and add a loot chest for Audens), and it alters one topic for Audens Avidius. As such, it should not cause any significant conflicts. If you find some, or if you find bugs or glitches, PLEASE let me know. I've tested it about 90%, but if you find something that doesn't work, or something that's a bad idea, please tell me so I can fix it.
If it doesn't work, try placing it last in your load order.

TuStartingOptions_03 adds the option of starting in Oblivion. It also uses no exteriors (unless you go to Oblivion). That was done on a clue from Bushidoboy, who said the Natural Environments mod appeared to be causing his FPS problem. Hopefully that will fix it for him and others.


TuStartingOptions -- original release 7/4/09
TuStartingOptions_01 -- original release 7/6/09; disables birthsign menu, class menu, and race menu in prison escape
TuStartingOptions_01 -- 9/29/09; fixed Ayleid wall switch (left the file name the same so it won't screw up any games you have in progress.)
TuStartingOptions_02 -- 9/29/09; version for people without Shivering Isles.
TuStartingOptions_03 -- 10/12/09; no Shivering Isles, all Interiors.

NOTE: If you've activated the esp and you're still starting in the prison, try putting it last in your load order. As for having a bounty when you escape...I, uh, did that on purpose. Yeah...
