DESTROY THE THIEVES' GUILD! [WIP]

Description
NOTICE: THIS MOD IS CURRENTLY VERY BUGGY. I would not advise using it in its current state until it has been fixed.

The title is self explanatory. I was always rather bothered by the lack of options in Riften. This mod aims to change that and give the player a little more freedom. You begin the quest by killing Brynjolf. Don't worry, you won't get arrested - apparently the guards don't like Brynjolf anyways.

Feel free to report any bugs in the comments, and I will fix them ASAP.

Suggestions are welcome, too.

WHAT I'M WORKING ON:
-Making it so you can sell the stones of barenziah after the quest is finished
-Changing the beginning of the the quest so it doesnt interfere with the main quest
-Making it possible to kill /all/ the members of the thieves guild

I appreciate that people are still invested in this mod after years of being abandoned. While my video game morals are a little less black and white than they were in 2014, I still find it weird and disappointing that you can't do anything about the guild of thieves that prey exclusively on the poor and weak, the absolute antithesis of everything Oblivion's TG stood for. And yeah, Bethesda really didnt consider when making Skyrim that maybe the player might want to take anything but the most obvious (to them) course of action in any scenario. That said, I still don't think that its possible to remedy these oversights with the dialogue presented in-game; I've seen it attempted with the equally short-sighted "choices" presented in Fallout 4, and found these attempts pretty unsatisfying. So tl;dr- this mod is still probably never coming back, but if someone wants to work with the barely functional mess I left here and update it I would be interested to see the result.

This fixes the problem of BETHESDA's lack of Vision. A Chaotic Good or Lawful Good Character would obviously wipe out the Thieve's Guild as well as the Black Hand. Alternatively, a True Dragon Born may want to restore the Dragons to power, enslave all the cities, restart all the Dragon cult religions, and resurrect All the Draugr and Dragon Priests to full LIFE again, fulfilling the dragon's promises to their many long suffering followers. The final goal for the dragon born: get out of being a biped race, and transform back into a full sized dragon, living in a dragon home, sleeping comfortably on a huge pile of gold, and being Dragon Lord of Skyrim.
Another Alternative: The player character wipes out the leader of the black hand and the leader of the thieves guild and takes over becoming the Crime Boss for all of Skyrim...
Thanks for making your Mod - you have Vision.

Ah, finally someone with good ideas. Personally I always simply 'disable' Bryn as soon as I see him, which renders this specific quest line moot as well. And you can still find Esbern no problem so he's really redundant.

But yes, Stones of Barenziah are the one thing, but the diaries of that crazy necrophilic necromancer up in Winterhold are another, too.

Will be on the lookout for the fixed version. Good Luck :)

I'm not deleting it from the workshop in case anyone else takes an interest in it and wants to finish it. but I'm probably not going to do it anytime soon unless Bethesda unexpectedly fixes the Creation Kit lol. sorry guys, hate to disappoint you

Gonna be honest, I lost interest in this. Mainly because its impossible to accomplish what I want with it due to the lack of proper dialogue. And the creation kit is a buggy unusable mess
