Borderlands 2 was an extremely fun game to play with it's own unique twist of humor. Unlike the first Borderlands game this one was full of great cinematic events and amazing voice acting which.
- Virtually every gacha game I play on my phone I skip the cutscenes because the writing is usually utterly disposable anime tripe with absolutely no substance, humor or character. Beyond that, I don't skip cutscenes in most games. If a game I'm expected to pay $60 for doesn't have a story interesting enough to keep me engaged I just don't buy it.

Borderlands 2 Skip Cutscenes
Borderlands 2 Skip Cutscenes Mod
- You can skip character and DLC intro cutscenes in the game with a simple modification to a configuration file. This can only effect cutscenes that are played from video files and not rendered in game like boss intros or other in-game events. This is not as brute force as bForceNoMovies=TRUE that has undesired effects. The configuration files are defaultly located at: My DocumentsMy GamesBorderlands 2WillowGameConfig
- Open WillowEngine.ini and place these lines under the [FullScreenMovie] section:
- SkippableMovies=TC_Scooter
- SkippableMovies=TC_Zed
- SkippableMovies=Orchid_Intro
- SkippableMovies=Sage_Intro
- SkippableMovies=Aster_Outro
- This is an example of what the [FullScreenMovie] section would look like with them added, in addition to commenting out StartUpMovies to speed up game launching:
- [FullScreenMovie]
- #StartupMovies=2K_logo
- #StartupMovies=NVidia
- SkippableMovies=2K_logo
- SkippableMovies=NVidia
- SkippableMovies=MegaIntro
- SkippableMovies=TC_Marcus
- SkippableMovies=TC_Tannis
- SkippableMovies=Iris_Intro
- SkippableMovies=Aster_Intro
- ConfirmSkipMovies=MegaIntro
- BinkSkipDelay=0.5
- BinkSkipTextY=0.8
- Also, if you don't want to accidentally skip a cutscene, add in a line of ConfirmSkipMovies= for whatever cutscene you want the 'Press Escape to skip' to appear at the top of the screen. Example of making Tina's DLC Outro to have a confirm skip message:
- ConfirmSkipMovies=Aster_Outro
- Similarly, to get rid of the confirm skip on the new game cutscene, comment out this line:
- (normal)
- #ConfirmSkipMovies=MegaIntro
- As far as comments go in the configuration files there is no actual defined character for comments. Any special character will make the game ignore that line as far as I know. A space or deleting lines may work as well, but commenting them out makes it easier to remember what you changed and to revert changes.
- Bonus info, these are the code names for the DLCs:
- Iris = Torgue DLC
- Aster = Tina DLC
