Any method to Replay Opening Video?

Edit: ZeniMax post in this thread indicated it to be a future feature so dont' worry tooo much....


...there doesn't appear to be a button to replay the opening introduction video.

Now if you know how to play BINK files you can view it anytime however for most players a one-time runthrough of an epic opening isn't enough.

In case you missed it I typed up this text yesterday:

The Storm is Comming... The Scent of War Swells in the Air...
As the Imperial Throne Lies Empty, the Fate of all Tamriel Rests on the Strengh of a Common Prisioner's Soul...
Evil Awakened: A Long Banished Foe Stires. Thoughs Who Would Destrtoy Tamriel, Seek Out Agents to their Dark Plot. And So... Death's Long Arm Reaches Out.
It is the 582 Year of the Second Era: The Drums of War are Sounding.

This is Where Our Journey Begins...

    I assume someone will upload it to youtube at some point, if they haven't already.

    You could always delete all your characters, create a new one and re-watch it. Don't recommend that, but it worked in the Beta.
    If you like my thoughts, feed my addiction! Give me forum credit! :)

    Yea I know but being able to play the original video in-game is a must. I know that during beta there wasn't an ablity to replay however that was only beta.

    This wont' be fixed anytime soon but just something to take note. All you need is RAD TOOLS Bink video player which is 100% free but doing so ingame would be nice:)

    We are currently working on a fix so you can re-watch the intro video after you've created a character.

    It's pretty goofy they don't have that option. Hitting "any key" zips through it, apparently including "sound up", hah. D'oh!

    ...seriously, someone told me that once here. The things people will do to win their internet arguments!

    It only plays when you have no characters created.

    I noticed this during beta but I wasn't certain if deleting characters and reloging replays the video.

    In either case me not doing that took forver just to get me characters in the first place hahaha/////

    They have made it so you can rewatch it, as well as reworking it to increase quality.
