A New Main Quest BETA

I added this to Nexus awhile ago, but that was while I was off the forums.
A New Main Quest!
This is a fairly short quest mod that completely supplants the Daggerfall main quest. It's sort of an alternate reality version, where (1) people are competent and helpful; (2) you're no longer the errand child for three foreign nations; (3) the threat facing the world is real and imminent; (4) you can summarize what happened in a single paragraph.
Lysandus' death takes a backseat to the real danger to the world, immediately revealed as Numidium. With the help of a few court wizards, you're the leading force to discovering how to control Numidium and who'll decide the future of western Tamriel.
This is incompatible with any installation that runs the normal Main Quest. The whole main quest backbone is rewritten, since many variables are completely unnecessary now. It's linear, it's short, it's somewhat challenging, and I hope it'll be more entertaining and comprehensible than the main quest we're used to.
This is a BETA because there are features I would like to add in the future, but the entire game is complete from start to finish. Since it doesn't have a lot of moving parts there isn't very much that can go wrong; I'm fairly confident it has few or no bugs.
If you want to go back from ANMQ to the normal Main Quest, you'll need to revert the changes done to the quests. The easiest way to do that is just to reinstall Daggerfall Unity (upgrading to a new version does precisely that; if you choose, ANMQ can be installed on a different version than you're normally playing on). You can try to rebuild the backbone, _BRISIEN and so forth, but it's really just easier to reinstall.
