Accidentally skipped intro
After starting it up some cinematic with a stormy sea off a coast was on and a narrator said "It was written" or "is written" then I pressed the volume up volume on my keyboard... but that turned out to be a key that skipped the cutscene, even though it has never affected a game before. I have tried searching for this intro but have gotten another one instead in every result. How can I view this?

¿maybe click on "Watch cinematic" as soon as you skipped it in the main menu?

Log off the game, set your volume, log in again, enjoy the cinematic.



Are this posts real??

start a new character and go check out intro. Base game allows you 8 characters.

this it?
I've also had the OP's problem and it's not this video. Haven't found it, i just gave up.

It was a video that looks like one of the loading screen, with the giant mushroom-tree.


That was the intro before you make your first character, so making a new one won't work. Tried logging off and trying again but it didn't show up. =/

Next time i log, i'll check if where's the "watch cinematic" someone mentionned.

Yeah it's not that trailer, it wasn't live action it was in the game engine. What Addaran said though. Also watch cinematic shows me the one that I see when I start my character.

It's in the main menu. Says 'watch cinematic'.
Or no?

That shows me the one with my chartacter passing out in the tomb or whatever before the turtorial in the spectral realm place or whatever, I want to see the one before that with the camera flying over the ocean towards an island or something and someone narrating about the world. I skipped it on accident.

I'm on Summerset by the way. Maybe I'll see the other intro again if I start a file on the default map.

If you have a .bik capable player ('VLC Media Player' works fine for me, though no idea if I needed to install a codec first or something, I have it installed since forever), you can just view the vids from the game folder.

"Drive\Steamfolder\steamapps\common\Zenimax Online\The Elder Scrolls Online\depot\Video"

Edit: Or just google it. Pretty sure you can get them all on YouTube.

I searched youtube and couldn't find it, but after viewing all the openings I think I found out what it was. It seems like it was playing the Morrowind opening when I booted the game up for the first time for some reason but only the first few seconds of it, so that explains why I couldn't find it in a search before, since I wasn't looking at the Morrowind ones.

Yeah, though it turns out I do have that expansion although I haven't started a save in that location yet.
Not like you'll miss anything.. story isn't all that exciting..

Heard/read of that about Skyrim's main quest too.
