Alternative beginnings & mqsdone...

Post » Sat Aug 20, 2011 1:09 am

I thought i try the easy way this time....

But,

The shipmod crashed the whole time during character confirming,
and i was not able to leave the cabin, as the mod thought i did not finish the immigration papers..
I had immediate character generation deactivated, and also nGCD, but it kept crashing..

Than Alternative beginnings, which operated correctly, as expected.
There, however was no Medalion, and totaly no equipment, like lockpicks, or repairhammers....

Without lockpicks i could not open the Basemant door from the Tiber Septim, to start mqsdone...

MOM, is agreat tool, which gives me the opportunity to do all kinda stuff, without messing up my maininstall, this is realy great!

I do not expect anything will be done about it, or do not ask for that...

Regards,

Oddball56.

You can buy a lockpick at the smash and slash for 8gp or just console to unlock the basemant door then lock it after mqdone.

The alternative start is instead of the tutorial so you should not expect that equipment. However, the other equipment given is for immersion of the particular start. So if Alternative Beginnings does not give you what you want use another mod like skip tutorial.

Nothing realy....
Well, actualy was trying to the start the very easy way, and i was happy, because of the possibilities given to my by MOM.
I can now do exactly what i want, without wrecking my maininstall-s- (I was only sharing, tha's all.. ;-)

Like your new avatar btw..

Ofcourse, i know that.
Possibly all of us had to try a mod, to know exactly what it does no?

Alternative Beginnings does not give you the Amulet for two reasons:

A: If you don't take the prison start, it doesn't really make any sense, as you never meet the Emperor.

B: It allows you to completely ignore the Main Quest if you want. If you really do wish to take it on, pay a visit to Fort Ash to get things underway (I won't reveal any further details, though). The only backlash for not doing the Main Quest is Kvatch being permanently devastated.

I understand that if i didn't meet the emperor, he couldn't have given me the amulet,
i only did not know how than to start the mainquest, if one would want to.
So the hint for fort Ash is well taken, thanx.

The multiple installs option, makes it possible to play any kind of game one wants, whenever one wants...
I now donot need several saves, from different characters anymore, i can now use the character i want to play any game i want..

This is the best improvement i could ask for.
These options were not simply available for me, as i did not know of the existance of a manager like MOM, before MOM.

Very stable indeed..

Thanks for bringing ROM up in this. Someone is working on ROM right now. Perhaps a request in that thread to make Alternate Beginnings work with ROM is in order.

I just tried Skip Tutorial v 3, but that gives me a 1000GP, but no equipment, as a mortar & pestle...
What was the name (prefereble the url) of the Mod that gives all things to find in the dungeon?

With this one you just walk out of the prison, with prisonclothes on...

What is ROM besides readonly memory?

ROM is Revised Oblivion Mod. Pretty nice 'overhaul'. The best skip tutorial mod that gives you pretty much everything from the tutorial dungeon is the original skip tutorial mod but I do not know where to find it anymore.

The one I used was actually called skip tutorial and has skip tutorial.esp and it was one of my first mods too :) . The one you link looks like it does the same thing. Thanks for the link, I will add this to my archive also. Very handy.

LOL, but I think he posted he still wouldn't go for it, but now we are getting off topic (slaps himself), anyway, what were we talking about?
