QoL SUGGESTION: Skip Cutscenes/Cinematics

[rpgfiend]

I would like to suggest a Skip Cutscene/Cinematic option with the following values:

• Always - no need for further explanation.
• Already Viewed - always skips cutscenes/cinematics you've already viewed.

My goal here is to speed up the time it takes to get into missions/destinations without sacrificing new content/experiences.

Thanks!

Interesting idea. We should only able to skip cutscenes if we’ve already completed that thing that has the cutscene. If not completed, then there should be no option to skip. For example, The Sacrifice is most likely going to have cutscences in it, once we replay the quest, there should be an option to skip the cutscenes. Sounds pretty reasonable to me.

Would love to see this as well.

Would also be great to be able to skip the starting cutscenes for both missions and locations like relays.

Would you rather a black screen for the duration? Those cutscenes aren't playing "just because".

The loading screen with the progress bar is where the loading takes place, if you ESC and skip the cinematic then you are in the mission.

Well I think the option to always skip should be there, if people chose to possibly miss out on content then they should be able to choose that. Likewise the option should be there for people who want the content but not over and over and over every time we go to a mission or a relay.

Thanks for the feedback thus far!

Ever wonder why the 2nd cutscene doesn't always skip immediately after telling it to skip it?

I don't recall encountering that personally.
