I am being overly harsh on it though [the cinematic, not the game :-D] - fairly empty, visual spectacles, establishing tone rather then plot or characters have been a staple for RPGs. But the confusion regarding what it is that we have seen and the need for clarification from Sven isn't a great sign.

*the usual disclamer that the game isn't finished, the intro might be revised and/or Yartar and dead mindflayers on the ship might become relevant to the story once the game is completed.

I'm on the same boat!

I like that idea, but I won't hold my hopes to high 😅 We shall see ^^
