Ah, this a beautiful piece of work! I love having the option to use multiple alternate starts--as I roleplay my characters, the prison gets old fast, and often clashes with the back-stories each of them has. I've only had time so far to create one alternate start to use with this, but OCAS saved me a huge amount of time in even that, handling the charactergen and all...I really can't praise it enough. Thank you, this is excellent work, and I am happy to add my endorsement. :-)
I do like the idea of being able to start with more than just the dungeon, but I seem to have run into an Issue. None of the starting blurbs for my expansion quests are popping up, and I'm not receiving the gear to use in them either. Tips?
I've been thinking of making an "alternate start expander" mod. It would not include an alternate start by itself, but instead would add stuff that should be present if the MQ is not yet started - Emperor still alive, visitable Kvatch etc. Would using OCAS as the start-up point for this be a good idea?
Best thing to do, is to use the New Conflict Detector on OBMM and find the OCAS plug-in. Look for anything that changes the quests 'Charactergen' or 'Mq02', or even Mq01.
I have installed the OMOD but when I start the game, I get either the alternative starts installed or, if I turn those off, the regular start. Its like I didnt even install the OCAS mod. What is happening?
I like to start a new game without any (fast travel?) places showing on my map--using a mod for that. But starting at Kvatch shows them. Can you do anything about that? (I found that the only way to have a blank map was to always start from the prison exit.)
EDIT: Someone told me that if I type "TMM 0" without the quotes that will give me a blank slate. So I presume that's the way to go. Thank you.
I like the idea of starting at Kvatch. Sounds good. (I hate the prison--like many others. Mainly because Once you've done it you don't want to waste your time doing it again.
I just started a new game 2 days ago so I guess I'll try this out now.

@JackLamont - specifically, which expansion quests?
