That new cutscene...

HappyHaunt · June 2017

...added to the start of original main questline for new characters is pretty awesome. I'd like to see more cutscenes like that in the game.

Did they add back in the old cinematic? I haven't made a new character but here it is for reference:

It's actually taken from the Opening Cinematic. Not that I don't heartily agree with you; when I saw that bit I was really happy, it went from being the generic to being specifically you dying, it added real gravitas to the entirety of your mission. I'm now committed to getting all my alts their souls back!

Interesting; it was just the part with Mannimarco killing the two guys and your character. There was no voice-over from the Prophet and no credits.

Had no idea this was a in the game before; I started playing in Jan 2016. Now I wonder why it was taken out to begin with.

Oh well my point still stands; I'd like more cutscenes.

Wish it had still been in when I first started playing. o_O When I was told Mannimarco had killed my character it was a surprise to me because I never saw that intro. XD

When I started (early access March 2014) it didn't play either, and never did after that. The only time I ever saw it was when I joined the PTS server and it treated it like a new account, THEN it played, and just the one time! XD

So it was like The Sixth Sense: Elder Scrolls?

Opp spoilers...

The main character is dead!!!

I like this scene indeed quite nice

Correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't that the cinematic that would play if you pressed the "Play Cinematic" button on the character screen pre-morrowind?

Oh wow. I don't think I ever saw that, even during the beta. It's a shame they replaced it--the start of the story always seemed rather jarring without a proper prelude like that.
