In ME2 there were several bik files that could be renamed or replaced to bypass the long, tedious intro logos and cutscenes. The same must be true for ME3, but I don't really know which are which, aside from a couple more obviously named files like "ME3_sig_logo.bik". I've already tried renaming that file as well as a couple of others, but the game won't load if I do.

Does anyone know how to skip everything before, say, James comes to get you? To be honest, I wouldn't mind skipping everything until your first dialogue choice, but that might be a bit drastic. I just want to get into a new game, check out a new face, etc. without waiting through 5 minutes of prologue I've seen since the demo.

Man, this forum is popular isn't it. Need to keep this question alive!

BioWare: lol skip cutscenes? lol

It's a cinematic experience. You can't magically jump to the part of the movie that's good, can you?

[voigtboy]

A simple yes (with steps) or no would due.

I wondering this myself. The reason being is the character generator looks nothing like your in-game character so I find myself going through the process over and over... wasting time watching the same video for minutes on end...

No.

At least there's no unskippable cutscene before a major battle where you have to take control of a character with 45 unallocated skill points. And you can't save once the battle begins, only after it.

That you know of.

I don't think we could do that ME2 it's only natural to assume it would not do for ME3 either.

Being able to skip the opening cut scene on subsequent playthroughs was one of the most requested features in ME2. There was even a fan-mod made that did it for you. It isn't difficult so I would have assumed that this was one of the first things they would have added.

The various methods with which to skip the intros in ME2 are documented in several threads, on this and other forums.

http://social.biowar...-2992808-1.html

And even in the wiki, masseffect.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Long_intro_in_me2_-_any_way_to_skip_it%3F.

I haven't done a very thorough test of the delete/rename method in ME3 yet, since what I did try caused the game to hang when starting, forcing me to exit out. The basic idea should still hold true, but someone more patient/knowledgeable than me might have better luck with it.

[Wodyme]

In ME3 you can skip some movies with ESC (logos), and when somebody is talking in dialogue, you can press space to shut them up and go to the next sentence.

[Duncaaaaaan]

Nope. Hope you like sitting through long and boring cutscenes for the umpteenth time.

I found a way. Download my modified Coalesced.bin file (original included). Unpack and enjoy faster startup.

Thanks, RaXelliX, just a few questions before I give this a try. May I ask where you got this fix from, or did you create it yourself? Have you tried it and confirmed that it works? And what all does it skip, exactlyl?

I created this myself. It removes a references to 2 startup movies. The ME3 one mentioned here before and StartupLoop.bik

Although i may (i stress may) have discovered a bug this causes. Namely after ending a mission the cutscenes (generally departing scenes etc) quit abruptly to where you are talking to Admiral Hackett. Not sure if this is normal behaviour or it is caused by this mod. But ill test and see.

[RaXelliX]

Nope no bug. Those were loading screens that flashed at the end of the missions (those are thankfully very short in ME3). So no problem using this fix.

[Loreshield]

The intro video is easily skipped via the use of the ESC key. What bothers me is the damn relay jump video... Can't skip it, can't even replace it with a 1KB "blank" file like in ME2. That gets really damn old. But I'll try the Coalesced.ini thing, thank you for the suggestion, RaXelliX.

I suppose you used the tool that's been going around? Under what section should I look for the relay jump video thingy?

I suspect the relay jump video is actually a hidden loading screen so removal may not be possible.

[Gel214th]

What I'd like to skip are those parts of scenes which don't contain any skippable dialogue but force you to sit and watch to the end. These aren't movie files, they are in-game cut scenes but pressing the space bar does nothing, and you can't skip them.

Any way to get around these? I'd like to do a second play through but man...I've seen all that stuff already you know? :-)

Congratulations on making a file that doesn't do squat. Is it a scam? I didn't backup my files so you are welcome to tell me what it actually does, thanks.

Both the modified and original are included. Did you unpack them to the correct folder?

[neilthecellist]

You need to extract it to /CookedPCConsole

And it works, don't know what your problem is.

Why would you want to skip Art?

Actually yes. You need to create a keybind in Coalesced for "slomo 2.0" and another for 1.0. The slomo command governs animation speed, so at slomo 1.0 everything moves normally, at slomo 0.5 everything moves at half speed, and at slomo 2.0 everything goes twice as quickly. Giving yourself a 2.0 slomo key lets you fast-forward through any ingame render. It also lets Shepard run quickly through large spaces, though 2.0 is fast enough that you're likely to lose control and slam into things so if you're going to use it for that I'd recommend doing 1.5 or something instead.

Agreed. This is what I did in Mass Effect 2. I kept playing with the character creator, so being able to fast-forward through the intro scenes was a big time saver. I used the suggested value (in the link above) of "slomo 8" though. I think I'm gonna have to do it again for Mass Effect 3, because I'm not very happy with my current Shep.

[O-Deka-K]

It works! Here are instructions:

1. Download the ME3 Coalesced Utility from: http://wenchy.net/me...alesced-utility
2. Unzip it to a new folder.
3. Find your game folder and make a backup of Coalesced.bin (Origin Games\\Mass Effect 3\\BIOGame\\CookedPCConsole\\Coalesced.bin).
4. Run the ME3 Coalesced Utility.
5. Open the Coalesed.bin file (same location as above).
5. In the left pane, navigate to: bioinput.ini > sfxgame > sfxgamemodedefault > bindings = (multiple)
6. In the right pane, scroll down to the bottom and click on the blank line.
7. Add this: ( Name="NumPadSix", Command="SloMo 8 | OnRelease SloMo 1" )
8. Save. Make sure you have a backup first!

Now you can hold down the numpad 6 key to fast forward through in-game cutscenes.
