Goals and Storytelling

[Ghieri]

Hmm, interesting idea with the cutscene issue, Aldigheri, how about
having it so that, although the cutscenes cannot be skipped on the first
time they run, the player is given the option to skip them on all
subsequent runs.. gives the best of both worlds i think.

It's a feasible system, that is apparently not hard to do(Because many companies do it) but some game developers feel that cutscenes are soo very important that they must not be skipped under any circumstances.

I don't understand that one bit. I've seen it done profusely with Japanese games, but I may be biased with that one.
