I very much agree. While I don't really have much power in saying what dev should do, it would be amazing if the old scenes at beginning of the game were replaced with new animations that are present almost with every update.
Plus the dialogue/description windows.
Since it's in my humble opinion very important that beginning of the game is appealing.
Considering some people will drop the game if all they see is text based plots.
Mind you, walls of + text one render.
So, maybe conclude the stranglethorn events and focus on revitalizing the early game?
