F12 (Screenshot Key) skip scenes

[Leo]

Well, there is the problem, maybe while you are enjoying the game and see some of the storytelling sequences, or maybe get a new character, you may want to take a screenshot of that glorious moment (and some one-time-only moments) to share or to keep as a good time reminder. The problem is that pressing the screenshot key just skip the scene leaving you with an all-black void of a picture.

Solution: Press Shift+Tab and change "screenshot" button in settings...

I don't think changing screenshot shortcut will solve anything if pressing any button skips the cutscene. Actually, wouldn't that be the case with computer's own printscreen button as well?

Have you tried playing the game on windowed and then clicking outside the window, for example your desktop, before trying to take a screenshot? Wouldn't that defocus the game window, allowing you to take a screenshot without interrupting the cutscene? You could then just cut out the picture you want and use the method devilman linked.

Workarounds, workarounds. The real thing here is that the game shouldn't skip scene with the key that is meant to take screenshots.

Anyway, i'll try the print-screen method. Thanks.

Well, since taking screenshots is a Steam feature completely unrelated to the game itself, you can't really put a blame on the product. Making screenshot button not skip cutscenes would be tricky since you can just change the shortcut from Steam Preferences. And it's unconvenient only if you want to take screenshots, and I don't think anyone can reasonably expect devs to design games with that in mind.

But let's hope you can snap that picture you want. Workarounds, yes, but at least you have options.
