Welcome to Daggerfall main quest enhanced.
The aim of this mod it to fix some of the problems with the vanilla main quest and to create a number of new pathways through the main quest that allows your player to choose a path that better suits their character. As such, many vanilla quests are optional. Finding out where Lysandus is buried, getting the restful dust, finding who has the emperor’s letter, finding wat happened to the letter and learning about the Numidium all have three pathways that you can mix however you like to suit your character. Don’t want to talk to Medora? No problem. Want to avoid Wayrest? Sure. As you chose different pathways the others will close off so you will have to play multiple times to do all of the different paths.
Features:
Better main quest log to help you follow the story (not perfect by any means)
Utilised the mod Famous Faces of the Iliac Bay to use some of these lesser characters in the story.
Improved some of the vanilla quests
Choices in quests can affect other quests better.
An Eighth ending to Daggerfall! (The cannon ending!)

Non-spoilers
The main quest is progressed more by global variables than before which means the aim is to get information rather than doing specific quests. For example, who has the Emperor’s letter is known by three people so you only need to find one person who knows to progress.
I have tried to keep the vanilla quests the same, but I have fixed some of them to be a bit better with multiple endings that have an effect upon how you move forward. There is less need to reload if you fail a quest as there may be another pathway. Also, if your character does not want to interact with certain npc’s or kingdoms then you have more scope to do this.
Changes:
From the beginning. You were given Lady Brisienna’s letter before you left, and you will find it quickly after leaving Privateers hold (this means you can start heading to her sooner rather than waiting weeks), seeing Lady Brisienna is still optional.
The letters from the courts of Daggerfall, Wayrest and Sentinal are not sent. I have removed the level requirement from the early quests so you can begin whenever you like. Also, it is up to you when you go to the courts to ask questions not for them to tell you.
The three courts: When you first arrive at the courts of Daggerfall, Wayrest and Sentinal, many of the nobles will tell you about the letter and the death of Lysandus, some are little hints, some are outrageous lies and others will hint at the other quest pathways (many pathways are only hinted at, so unless you speak to the nobles you will miss them).
The Eighth ending to Daggerfall:
Now there is a new way to finish the game. You can give the Totem to someone else, and that person will use it to trigger a dragon break, the Warp of the West, the cannon ending! (At the moment all it does is play all of the ending videos, but I hope to add a proper quest later.) It just gives the option of becoming the ultimate agent of chaos

Special Thanks:
Firstly, a big thanks to Cliffworms for his Mod- Famous Faces of the Iliac Bay. I have used many of the people introduced in this mod to get the player to visit places not normally seen.
I would also like to thank Jay_H for answering my quest writing questions!

Requirements:
Daggerfall Unity 0.14.0 or higher
Famous Faces of the Iliac Bay
Daggerfall Expanded Textures

Installing:
Copy the files into the quests folder, you will have to overwrite the quest _BRISIEN. (I have attached the original for uninstalling purposes only)
The quest will not affect current games and will only work on new characters.
Uninstall:
You can just copy the original _BRISIEN file into quest folder, but all games using enhanced main quest will not change, new characters will revert to the original main quest.

Warning!!
*Spoilers ahead!!!*
Here are some of the specific changes:
‘Elysana’s Robe’ (S0000006):
I tweeked it and gave it 5 endings so that now you can do the following:
Give Castellian the robe and leave (normal ending)
Wear the robe and be attacked (normal ending)
Take the robe to either Barenziah or Karethys. As rivals to Elysana and being mages, they will deactivate the enchantment and you can give the deactivated robe to Castellian, Elysana will not know the deception, but presumably will do by Elysana’s revenge.
Give the Robe to Castellian and, as he transforms now into a knight sprite, you can defend him against the Seducers, he will reward you and this will annoy Elysana but impress the Dunmer.
Give the Robe to Castellian try to defend him and he dies- At this point his guards arrive and assume you summoned the seducers to kill Castellian (kind of true) and you will get attacked and gain a permanent hit to your reputation in Wayrest (you can still return to Elysana to complete mission).
If Castellian survives the quest, then you can still do Helseth blackmail quest and Morgiah’s Wedding.
Completing Elysana’s robe (if Castellian dies) will stop you doing Morgiah’s wedding as she will not trust you because you helped a rival.

The Werebeast (S0000007)
Now starts from the start, no longer triggered by S000005 Concern for Nalfaga.

Stronghold of the Blades (S0000010)
In an addition to getting the magic item for the Underking, you can also visit the King of Worms who will give you a fake item to betray the Underking and still get the information. However, there will be a consequence later.

Barenziah’s book (S0000011)
Starting this quest will stop you from doing Elyssanna’s Robe quest as you have sided with the Dunmer. (Doing Helseth or Morgiah’s quests do not as Helseth’s gives Elysanna more reason to want Castellian dead and Morgiah’s will result in Morgiah leaving the Iliac Bay to wed.)
Helping Barenziah allows you to learn where the Emperor’s letter is, it will also trigger Elysanna’s revenge quest.
Helping Gotwog keep the book will mean that when you ask him about the emperor’s letter, he will give it to you without having to search for it. Also, if you are doing the King of Worms Pathway to the restful dust then Gortwog will tell you where the dust is without having to fight.

Freeing Medora (S000003)
The Great Unicorn Horn is now available immediately! No need to speak to Medora first! You can do concern for Nalfaga and get the Horn at the same time.
Also, the Horn is how you choose your pathway to the restful dust. Whoever you give it to will determine the path.

Medora:
I have tried to reduce the number of times you have to fight through the tower to get to her (see the Horn above) Now when you get the restful dust from the Mummy Medora will appear close to you so you can give it to her straight away and avoid another tower visit.

Mantella revealed (S0000988)
This is now started by either the Orcish Treaty, Wayrest painting and/or Elyasana’s robe.

Mynisera’s letters (S000013)
This quest is now a back door to gaining Mynisera’s trust, you can do this instead of doing the werebeast to begin the emperor’s courier.

The Emperor’s letter:
The emperor did not ask you to give it to Mynisera, He wanted you to destroy it, therefore you only need to pick up the letter to progress, and the letter is in play as soon as you know who has it. No need to do Mynisera’s quests unless you want to know the full story.

Totem Totem, who gets the Totem (S000008)
This quest is started by lifting the curse on Daggerfall, having the emperors letter and knowing about the Numidium. Therefore, there is no specific quests that will trigger it. The quests Lich’s Soul and Orcish Treaty are optional depending on your pathway.

Lysandus’ tomb:
The sound ‘Vengence’ now plays outside Lysandus’ tomb until you lift the curse.

Note:
This is a work in progress and there may be bugs that I have not found, there are so many variables to test them all.
I also hope to make some of the pathways have greater difference than it is now, but at the moment I need to see that it all works.
