Dear God, let me skip this crap!

Yeah, the intro to this game was amazing. I loved it the first time.

But I don't want to sit through it every time I make a new character!

Is there a way to skip the intro?

Nope, It's something you get use too.

You can't even save before you make your character either.

I've found that my game will usually save just as you hop out of the cart. "Prisoner, Level 1". Just make sure to keep that save and you won't have to keep travelling down to Helgen each time you want to make a new character!

Pretty sure it autosaves when you get off the cart, go all the way down when loading a file

You can indeed save before you make your character. Right when you get out of the wagon and the guy is calling out the names of the prisoners. I made 2 saves there in case I forgot and save over one.

If you have a PC you could save right after the whole thing and type "showracemenu" and you can edit your character. The only downside is you will lose any skills you would have gotten during the intro but it could be worse. Until Beth makes an update or someone makes a mod this is the best solution to skip the intro.

You can create a save file right as you get off the Wagon to skip the entire ride to Helgan everytime you want to create a new character.

Just load the save and bam,straight to character creation :]

You can make a save before you get asked "Who are you?", which saves a little time. But I agree I wish there was a final chance to change your character before you leave the caves.

Yes make a save when you stand in the line before they ask you for your name and just keep that save for eternity. I miss the option to name my saves though...

As many, many people have already said; You can save when you get off the cart.

It actually made a save for me automatically at that point, maybe I got lucky. :D

It would be nice if there was a final "U sure bro?" option where you can change everything before you exit the keep like OB had at the Sewer Grate, it would save a lot of time.

At least we don't have Oblivion's problem of the jail cell and sewer having awful lighting, I always did a /showracemenu as soon as I got outside as my character looked nothing like I expected it to.

If someone makes a mod they should totally have it ask that :laugh:

^^This. I have (well, had) a save set right after you get out of the cart. So all I have to do is create my character, and sit through the remaining 10 minutes of the tutorial.

The only other thing is you cant check your character out in 3rd person till you get your hands in-tied =p

So it makes the process a little more tedious if your not satisfied with your results because of the lighting in character creation.

I think the lighting near the chopping block is fine to be honest, beats a prison cell and a sewer.
