The devs removed the cutscenes for now; they ran into issues and will be fixing them. Most likely with next update.
Why would removing the cutscenes do anything? they were fully functional. I can see removing them to add onto something to get rid of the "under maintenance" screen, but couldn't a patch fix that, and why was nothing said about this? Judging by the fact this topic keeps popping up from several other posters and no one seems to know whether or not it's a bug, intentionally done, or something the patch messed up (as it started for most people after the patch), needs to be better communicated as it's literally causing some people to delete their saves and start a new game just because they think their game/companion bugged permanently.
