Oracle Cinematic Shown After Tutorial

**Mathalos**

Since the Oracle is dead, shouldn't this cinematic no longer be shown after you leave the tutorial, as she would not be able to talk to you?

The characters are always refered to as being freed right after the game came out even if you just created the character. Another thing they should do is remove the "Just close your eyes and think of the Oracle" line NPCs say in missions.

That line isn't too bad as it really "works" whether the Oracle is alive or not. It actually sounds a little better now that she is dead. SMILEY

Because no one in the Matrix ever seems to die.

Or, it could be something that happened in Chapter 1.1, 'cause it's the 1.1 cinematic. SMILEY

Still, this doesn't apply to new redpills who are recently freed. as a cinematic is ok, but not as a welcome video.

I agree with Mathalos, this video should be removed or modified. Is a good vid tough, but it doesn't fit in the storyline anymore.

Its the last cinematic in the game that actualy uses the in-game engine and not just some video file, for that reason alone I'd say keep it in.

It's not like theres a giant influx of new players comming any time soon.

Maybe it's the timezones but I see new players just about every day.

I admit there are some players that come... and go, most of em are only here for like 14 day's and wouldnt be that much into the story to know that the oracle is dead :/, most of em don't stay anyways, but that's coming frm a guy frm vector so.. maybe different frm other servers.

Maybe that's not the point but i know wer ur comin frm math.

It is a bit of an anachronism. She references the truce, and Sati's there, too.

**ArchDuke**

I think it should stay.

For anyone jacking in the first time, it's a familiar face to see the Oracle there. I'd think it would make it immerse you deeper into the game.

It's more of a nit-picky thing for us vets that know better than to believe the Oracle is really there smoking a cigarette still in her apartment. Like when Seraph was missing in the Aqueduct and a few complained that the Stat Hack mission contained a missing person.

This issue also applies to the fact that is the Commander Lock who salutes you in the mission Meet Niobe.

It would be good to hear Commander Roland's voice saying how he took charge and what's Lock's luck (?)
