After spending hours trying to create an alternative dungeon sequence, I gave up and instead created a new starting area with a blurb about travelling from another land. With this, you are no longer "limited" RP wise as to what your character can become. Many people complained about the idea that your character was bad enough to be put in prison and that tainted their RP sessions because of it. You're character starts just outside of Leyawiin, having come to the land of Cyrodiil to start over.

In this version, the Main Quest is effectively cut off. There are no messages about the heir of Uriel Septim, no Amulet of Kings ... just a simple wanderer who wants to start a new life. I have deleted the tutorial messages so hopefully you won't get any stupid popups while just trying to survive.

This does rely on a new game to get the full effect.

Features
- New start, free of danger with a starting "kit" for a traveler.
- Main quest cut off.
- Freedom to continue the game without those annoying Oblivion gates (except for the Kvatch gate).
- Non-main quests left untouched and free to take on.

Problems
- None that I've found . . .

I also have a plugin that leaves the Main Quest intact. You can find it here:
