Research Thief - Nirya/Faralda Favor

There are a handful of unfinished quests in the Skyrim files, viewable only through the console or Creation Kit. Many of these quests are fully voice-acted and mostly scripted, but for one reason or another don't exist in game.

"Research Thief" is one such quest. It was to be a small College of Winterhold sidequest in which Nirya would ask you to steal the research notes of her rival Altmer, Faralda. The quest would have allowed you to do so for a handful of gold or report this offer to Faralda for a slightly smaller handful of gold.

Now, thanks to this mod, you can complete this little mundane fetch quest and enjoy the voice-acted dialogue!

But why would you want to, you ask? Why, because doing so will win the favor of either Faralda or Nirya, making both marrigeable, increasing the number of marrigeable female Altmer from 1 to 3!

I'm pretty sure that this will conflict with any mods that make either of those NPCs marrigeable (or mess with them in other ways), but otherwise, I think it should be compatible with most mods.

Current Version: 1.1

Notes:

-If, on talking to Nirya, the dialogue option to start this quest is not available, save and reload that save from inside the game. This should fix the issue.

-Version 1.1 fixes a bug where script changes made by this mod were not loaded, which meant that while the dialogue options would appear nothing else (such as objectives, or the script that makes either Altmer marriageable after the quest ends) would work. If you already completed the quest, reload an earlier save or run the command "ResetQuest FreeformWinterholdCollegeA", and redo it.

-If this version does *not* fix this issue for you, try the Skyrim Nexus download instead: http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/23971
