I was about to write how wasteful it is to create expensive, 6 minutes long cutscene that has so little things to convey, but at the same time it does set up the game very well - overproduced, narratively basic and yet somehow still convoluted and confusing

. 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.
