Q - Are you pressing the ESC key when firing up BG3 to get to the main menu quicker?

Q - Do you skip both the opening videos when starting a new game?

If you answered yes to both of these questions then look no further!


WHAT THIS MOD DOES

Option 1

This mod removes the opening splash screen when you first startup BG3. The game will now load directly to the main menu.
The 2 opening videos when starting a new game have also been removed. When starting a new game it will now load directly to character creation.
When finished with character creation, it will load directly to the new game starting position on the Nautiloid.
 

Option 2

Just removes the opening splash screen.  The game will open directly to the main menu.



WHY THIS MOD WAS CREATED

This mod was originally intended just for personal use. It was created for my own convenience when modding BG3.
Being a mod author/creator, testing my mods before uploading takes up a lot of time. 
Removing these videos was simply to speed up my testing times when starting a new game.
Basically I was sick of pounding the ESC key to skip the splash screen and the start videos.
I figured since this mod significantly sped up my testing times, and I no longer had to press ESC repeatedly,
it could also be an appealing feature for some players as well.

With this mod, you can now get directly into your game without having to see the splash screen, and the opening start videos over and over again.
(You know you skip them anyway)
