No cut scenes, period, if I had my way (and I won't, and I'm not trying to change anybody's mind, so I don't mind saying what I think about cut-scenes). All they ever do is put me that much closer to developing carpal tunnels.

SH3's startup is a procession of films, splash screens, and progress bars - downright interminable. "Fixin' to get ready to start." I know you already foresaw this objection, but I'll say it anyhow: after I've played it once - once - I have no use for all the clutter and it just gets steadily more annoying from there.

So, to make a "wish list" item out of this, how 'bout giving players a .cfg file where they actually can turn off this stuff if they want?

All that aside, though, splashes and cuts are sort of par for the course - certainly nothing that would prevent me buying the game. I'd rather not have 'em, but you and others rather would. My utterly unfounded prediction, therefore, is that whatever we get will be more than I want and less than you want.
