Rewatching cutscenes?

[BooneoftheWasteland]

Apologies if this has been a topic, a search didn't bring up the topic.

 

Is there a way to rewatch your cutscenes? Is that an option in game or out? Or once you watch it the first time then that's it?

 

Thanks.

Not that I've heard of, but you could always go to the save before the cut scene and save again just before it plays then you can play it as many times as you like by going back to that save. I do that with some of the romance scences and when I save I mark them with a symbol so there are easier to find as the saves mount up.

for the most part, yeah. the only real way to watch them over again is to have a prior save that will let you redo that part of the game.

Or, if you wanted to, you could DL and install a 3rd party application that would let you record the scene into a seperate video file that you could watch whenever you wanted.

Fraps (google it) is a very popular vid capture utility for this, and works pretty well with dragon age. Only downside that I have with it is that it saves the files as .avi files. So you'll need an app that can run .avi files (most of them do) and .avi files are large, so they take up more space on the computer, and take longer to load :dry:

I've used CamStudio which is free, I'm no expert but the results I've had recording tutorials have been very good, as it's free it's always worth a try.

 

You can download it here

Thanks for the responses. Save spots could be a good idea. I had thought about fraps after as well. Also thanks for Camstudio, I'll look into both and see which I feel more comfortable with.

No problem at all :)

I accidentally skipped that battle cutscene in Ostagar at the beginning, so I ended up just watching it on YOuTube. It's a lot lower quality, but I think most of the videos in the game are on YouTube.

oh that's brill!

 

wish I'd thought of that sooner >< I'm kinda a save-aholic anyway so that'll definitely help demarcate the 'interesting' ones hehe

True enough, but there's a 'deeper' connection to the scenes when it is your created character :)

you can watch (but not ear) videos .bik in MOVIES folder where DA is installed with radtools http://www.radgametools.com/bnkdown.htm it's not the same as when you play but....
