Rescently I've tried to figure out what quest the game runs, when you press New Game, but it seems I have failed.
Maybe someone knows what happens when you press New Game in main menu. Which script runs intro, and places player in the dungeon or it's set in Oblivion.exe?

The very first quest that runs in Charactergen.

Well, if you'll make a clean esm and create a Charactergen quest like in original esm , still nothing happens when you press New Game.
Although some peole say, if Charactergen is deleted the Game still runs. Charactergen does not play intro, something else do that.

I recently made a stripped down .esm file (nothing but the bare essentials in order for the game to do something) and it indeed only need the charactergen quest. And it has to call player.moveto aMarker in order to load the player into the game.

There is actually a wide range of different bit from the CS that you must have in your .esm otherwise it wont run the charactergen quest.....so there is more to this then it appears.

Could you make a list of this bits for me? You made a similar topic, but no answer was found.
