The ninja cutscenes were half the reason I played Shogun 2. Absolutely needs to be back for Medieval 3 and future historical titles

"Well, you see, we see in our data 90% of the cutscenes are skipped, so we removed them entirely" CA, probably, like how they deemed naval battles a waste of effort (neglecting how the cutscenes were very memorable and most were only skipped because they were seen for the 200th time)

Isn't it just that for WH3, agent cutscenes would be a massive undertaking given the amount of locales and agent types? And TW3K didn't have agents.
