Could we get a skip intro option?
So you start immediately from waking up on Citadel station? Like in the original game.

Seconded. The intro is a pretty big downer when thinkning about replaying. It's not the same when you can't just jump right into a new run.
Yeah. I enjoy it but its one of those things that you only really want to experience once and then you're good for a year.

That and the death scenes that don't allow you to even hit escape to just load are annoying.

The intro is like 1 minute. You realize you can hold esc and skip the cutscenes? Then it's just a minute of playtime when you're in your apartment doing the hack.

+1 but only allow skip after the first time completiong.

So game could have a value in the game engine which keep track if you already did the prologue once if you did it once then it should be skippable.

Or save the time altogether and just let us skip.

Actually it's less than that. Skip the opening cinematic, run to and activate your laptop, take a piss, come back and skip the Diego speech, bam you're on medical.

press quick-load (F9) during the death scene, problem solved.

And for those wanting to rely on restoration chambers instead of save/load?

Now this is a legit complaint.

didn't say it's the perfect solution... but it's a solution for those who don't want to watch the video AND load a savegame anyway.

I think the perfect solution here is to display the continue/load/exit options from the start, while the death cutscene plays behind it.

There is a skip option for the death scene but I don't remember the key combination. Use the search option. It has been mentioned in the forums before.
