dunmer_baton Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Is there a way to watch the intro / cutscene again, the one when you activate and travel to the Stronghold for the first time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_mike Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 I haven't found one. I had hoped that they had added it to the Cinematics list on the character selection page but they didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nieyko Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I was under the impression that the stronghold cutscene would play every time you went there, similarly to how a cutscene plays every time you go to a planet. It's strange that a place you are specifically designed to be attached to is the one place where the cutscene only plays once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To strike a nice balance between those who start yelling at Bioware for having too many cutscenes, and those of us who like them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mireleni Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 I think at some point they intended for us to be able to rewatch the cutscene if we clicked on something, but whatever it was they planned it never made it into the game. It's too bad, because the cutscene includes the decorations that you've placed, so it would be cool to watch it after you've completed your stronghold, and not just when you've recently bought it and it looks really empty.

mudmobile Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 By the way things had been described from the beginning, I knew an entrance cutscene wasn't going to be there. It does make sense to not have one with the way we enter a stronghold and the fact most people would just skip it, time and effort would seem to be wasted but still it would be cool to have one. For both strongholds and guildships I would have loved to see some cool fly ins (and out for guildships) cutscenes. Nar should have our class ship fly through the city and land on the pad, both capital cities would have a taxi scene (like we had) and a similar thing for Tat riding across the desert in an enclosed speeder (seeing our characters takes up unneeded memory). For guildships a scene similar to the normal ship scenes, flying in the class ship into the hangar and with an exit scene as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nieyko Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 How do you know that? This would be amazing! I can confirm that the cutscene updates with what you decorate your stronghold with. I logged onto an alt who hadn't been to my stronghold. On that alt, I did the starting stronghold quest on the fleet, then proceeded to travel to my main character's house on Coruscant. The cutscene I got this time included the guards I had put on the balcony, as well as the decorations in the upstairs main room. This is actually one of the main reasons I would love to see that cutscene all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was pretty cool and I'd like to see the cutscene every time too.. its easy enough to spacebar past it if you don't want to see it.

eartharioch Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Is there a way to watch the intro / cutscene again, the one when you activate and travel to the Stronghold for the first time? There is one way, but I'd really like something less clunky that actually lets me see my real characters: 1) Create random new character 2) After watching initial cutscene, ESC out of intro conversation 3) Travel to Stronghold 4) Delete new character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If no one wanted to see the cutscene, they would skip it. Why does Bioware fails to acknowledge the obvious at times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they DID have an option for it when showing off the strongholds on the twitch stream, but they never worked... so may they just couldn't get it to work in time for release? They're not complete morons you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess. After all, it's not like Strongholds was delayed for an additional couple of months now, was it? They're not complete morons you know. I never said they were last I checked.

solo-nite Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Yea I would like to see the cut-scene repeated when you go to your strongholds (or at least a shortened version). They got it working for guild ships (cut-scene of you flying to your guild ship) every time you go there so why not your stronghold. Also I can confirm like others you do see the decorations on the cut-scene as I have been to my stronghold with alts and seen through the windows etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddballEasyEight Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 I guess. After all, it's not like Strongholds was delayed for an additional couple of months now, was it? And yet they still couldn't get it to work. But that's not the point, the point is you were insinuating that it never occurred to them that people might want to watch the intro again, but that's wrong since they had plans on doing that. I never said they were last I checked. Being a "moron" and being "clueless" are not one and the same. Oh wow, way to be picky with words. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LingBa Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I THINK that if you change the owner of a Stronghold to a different alt and the travel there with that alt you get to watch the cutscene again. At least I think that's what happened to me yesterday. Didn't re-check for confirmation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JasonNH Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 I agree. Please make this work like entering/exiting your starship where you always see the cutscene but can choose to spacebar through it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nieyko Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I would like to see this cutscene. And not just for my stronghold. It would also be nice to see it when I'm invited to a friend's stronghold. I understand that might be more difficult, so I'll be happy with just my own place....for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SplashNOR Posted April 7, 2015 Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) /signed I really enjoy watching my new alt viewing the SH for the first time. But there's a once-time limit, and that is the problem. I hope they'll fix it. Edited April 7, 2015 by SplashNOR Typo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solanio Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 I've wanted this for some time. It's sad that my first view of my strongholds were of empty ones. Now that most of them are decorated, I only see that epic perspective when an alt that hasn't gone in yet goes in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
