📋 About This Mod
A tiny mod I made for myself that replaces the default BGS_Intro.bik with a shorter, higher res version.
This new version features a static Bethesda logo, with re-mixed audio.
All in all, it's 3 seconds long, down from 7 seconds, though the audio is only 30% faster.
Especially useful for ENB users as it fills up the gap between the Menu displaying and the ability to load a game; now when the intro is done you should be able to load straight away :)
Best used with NMM or MO.
To install manually, place in myskyriminstall/data folder.
You may want to back up the original "BGS_Logo.bik" - also remember verifying the game cache on steam will restore the original file if installed manually.
All rights belong to Bethesda Game Studios, Bethesda Softworks & Zenimax.
I take no credit for the assets used, and likewise anyone else can use this in their mod freely.
