Tutorial overhaul criticism (choose your own adventure)

So I just saw this video:

And I have to agree 1000% with this guy's assessment.

The new tutorial style looks absolutely wonderful, and the ability to (FINALLY!) be able to choose your own adventure is much appreciated.

But for the life of me I cannot possibly fathom the logic behind cutting out the actual content!? What??? What is even the point then?

For me the entire point of doing this is to choose your STORY, your chapter, and to be able to see all the content/context I missed. I am someone who has been playing this game for years, but at an extremely slow and casual pace (I just very recently finished Vvardenfell and just started Clockwork City... so yeah, kind of running a bit late lol).


Why FOR THE LOVE OF TALOS wouldn't you let me see the actual starting quest???


Please, I'm begging you, reverse course on this bizarre and nonsensical decision!

It honestly seems completely counterintuitive to what people have been asking for for YEARS- to choose which tutorial/starting quest they go through upon character creation. These quests often included little bits of story line which you wouldn't normally get on an established character, and are often a treat to play if they are much loved. (I'm particularly fond of the starting quest for Elsweyr, Skyrim, and Vvardenfell, since I received Morrowind free the first time I purchased the game and it's starting quest is nostalgic for me.)

Its so silly. Honestly, I don't understand why they did things this way.

They stated somewhere that you can't play the old tutorials through the portals "yet", so that kinda implies it might be coming one day. At this point, though, the combat tutorials would be redundant, so they might be removing those parts so they're just a little miniquest?

This one tried out the new tutorial in the PTS and was a bit disappointed by how content lite it is. Previous versions always provided a bit of context to the DLC/chapter and this one felt rushed and confusing. You basically get taken from a locked cell on a magical elf island or summat, fight a golem and then choose your adventure as the OP stated.

A very poor interpretation of what players have been asking for.
