Uh dude, that's already installed.
It doesn't fix any of the things I was bitching about.

The problem is that Bethesda cheated in essence.
Instead of creating a real artifact and then having the NPC use it, they
created a non-working artifacts and then scripted it's function for the
NPC.

For that matter the whole mage's guild quest line bugs me.
After the blowup, all the mages become useless refusing to interact and
just say one line over and over again until _after_ you save the day.

Right so they leave the fate of the College and possibly the World in
the hands of a new student who has been there for a couple weeks and
won't give that student any kind of help.  

Does that make any sense to _anyone_?

It really bugged me that this applied to the entire college mage
_faction_ not just the ones actually at the college - so a guy elsewhere
involved in another quest was also frozen, locking that quest until
after the staff had been retrieved and the baddie fought.

Man, Bethesda took a lot of shortcuts making Skyrim, and consistency and
logic checks seem to be one of the things they skipped entirely.

I really wish they'd finish the core game before they skip ahead to
making DLCs.
