I wonder why Morgott's cutscene never got patched

[Dollmaker]

In the early days of the game, the cutscene was actually different, when he cracked the cane, it actually had fire coming from inside, before fully breaking apart, revealing the sword, which fitted with his dialogue about "flame of ambition" but after a patch the fire is no longer there.

And yeah, it remained like that since.

Heres the original version in question:

So yeah, kinda sad they never patched it back, cause it was way better.

Then again, they never patched Ranni's ending which is mistranslated and changed the true meaning of the ending by accident.

they purposefully got rid of the fire because it contradicts he protecting the erdtree

big tree no like fire fire bad, get rid of fire in cutscene

I mean, it is stated that only the fire of the giants can even touch the tree, so it wouldnt really do much.

Besides, it is stated that he had sealed the sword, and considering how the weapon is capable of dealing fire through bloodflame like effect, it fits even more with the original cutscene.

regardless of how you may feel this is how things are now, I don't think they're inclined to change it again but who knows

I never got why they didn't fix this as well, I agree that the version you linked looked way better.
You never know if fromsoft just doesn't realize that they removed it by accident or if they did it on purpose.

Something kind of related:
Since release, there is no cookbook which contains the recipe for fletched Rainbow Stone Arrows, even though its flavour text suggest it should exist.
Even after sending a ticket about it to Bandai Namco support I got nothing worthwhile.

IIRC they did purposefully change it, but it wasn't because of fire bad.

His sword does change color mid-fight, but he doesn't unleash its power until mid-way where the bloodflame is actually unleashed. Him showcasing the bloodflame to break the covering may have been a spoiler, BUT NOBODY KNOWS THE REAL REASON.
