This is a reupload of the mod, Freelancer, from MMH. I really like this mod, and since it only seems to be only available on MMH, and the author is no longer around in the community, I feared that it would get lost due to the website's increased unreliability these days. Nothing in this mod is my work, and according to the mod's readme: "Do as you will with this mod but please give a credit where appropriate." I have turned off Donation Points for this mod, as my work consisted of only reuploading it here. If by any chance, the original author of this mod contacts me to take it down anyway, I will comply within a reasonable timeframe. As a result of all this, naturally, I can also not offer any support for this mod, - however low-effort it may be - this is only a reupload.

I. BACKGROUND
------------------------
Designed for those who prefer Morrowind life without faction complications, working as a freelancer for whoever has suitable work to offer. There are several aspects to this plugin:
- many quests now end if you decline them (ie moving to greyed-out in journal)
- many faction quests which non-faction members can stumble across can now be completed 
- many quests renamed and dialogues tweaked to remove faction name and/or to make more sense to a freelancer
- three Legion quest givers will offer 'freelance work' when you've proved yourself to them
- Bal Molagmer quests now available to everyone with a reputation of at least 10
- some new 'latest rumours' and some others which now generate non-quest linked journal entries and open some faction quests to non-faction members
- some general tidying
All the changes made are to existing quests, dialogue and journal entries. I was tired of getting bits of quests, ever-active quests and inapropriately titled quests and decided to make some changes. There is still much more that could be done, notably regarding inapropriate journal entries triggered by scripts (like reading Pilgrim's Path) and making sense of named corpses, oddly placed NPCs and quest-related items. Suggestions, along with all comments and changes, however minor, are very welcome.
Version 1.1 makes some minor tweaks
- fixed bug which prevented completion of Widow Vabdas quest if you'd already finished Talos Cult
- some small tweaks to ensure topics become available at the right time
- small tweaks to dialogue (eg Stacey won't call you a toad anymore!)
Completely compatible with save games using v1.0.
--------------------------
II. INSTALLATION
--------------------------
1. Unzip the contents of this ZIP file into your Morrowind/Data Files directory.
2. Start the game. At the opening screen menu,  select "Data Files" and double-click/select  'Freelancer v1.1.esp'.
3. Play the game as normal.
-------------------------------------
III. PLAYING THE PLUG-IN
-------------------------------------
Play as usual. I suggest starting a new game to get the most from Freelancer and I strongly recommend not joining any factions (except Blades). Only Morag Tong is unaffected and while I have tried to separate freelance quests from the faction-specific dialogue I make no promises that you won't get some weird results, particularly if you are an Imperial Legion member.
Be sure to ask about latest rumors as quite a few quests are now triggered by new rumors. There are no new quests (except bundling Edwinna's existing research-related quests under a 'Edwinna's Dwemer Research' quest).
To get freelance work from Imsin the Dreamer, Radd Hard-Heart and General Darius you must rescue Joncis Dalomax, Dandsa and Madura Seran respectively. Rumors in Hla Oad, Gnaar Mok and Ald Velothi will point you towards the rescues. To get Bal Molagmer quests you reputation must be 10 or over - enough for it to have preceeded you, so to speak. Speak also to Trebonius (ask about 'freelance work') and Edwinna (about 'research') to get Dwemer-related quests.
Produced with Morrowind/Tribunal v 1.1413.
