I'm not sure I follow, the issue you are having is that after installing the mod - by putting the two folders into the location of the exe, and by putting randconquest folder into the appdata location - when you create a new game, it gives you the screen to create a starting slave instead of creating your master character? The screens are very similar so make sure by looking at the top left it says master character instead of slave. Otherwise I'm not sure, this mod never touches slave creation or loadout, or the gui pages associated with slave creation. Have you tried proceeding with the creation and playing the game? -- oh and make sure you have the most recent version of strive, otherwise the mod will break stuff.
