Hi. I'm kind of new here. Just got a simple question, tried searching with "movie" and "video", didn't help.
So. Is there any way to skip the BG1 intro movie? You know, the one Sarevok grabs a guy's throat and then
throws him off a building? Kinda annoying having to watch 90s quality movie everytime starting a new game.
Or maybe I should just be satisfied with my character and stop restarting over and over again :D

Movies are only unskippable the first time they're shown (and "the first time" thing will be reset each time you reinstall the game).

I find it annoying, too=). Right after installation, add these strings at the end of baldur.ini and you will be able to skip movie:
[MOVIES]
INTRO15F=1
BGINTRO=1
INTRO=1
I don't remember exactly which line matches the first intro, most likely "BGINTRO=1"

Or, for a more general movie-skipping solution, paste this in.
[MOVIES]
BEREGOST=1
BGENTER=1
BGINTRO=1
BGSUNRIS=1
BGSUNSET=1
BHAAL=1
BISLOGO=1
BWDRAGON=1
CAMP=1
CNDLKEEP=1
DAYNITE=1
DEATHAND=1
DUNGEON=1
DURLAG=1
ELDRCITY=1
END15FPS=1
ENDCRDIT=1
ENDMOVIE=1
ENDMVE3=1
FLYTHR01=1
FLYTHR02=1
FLYTHR03=1
FLYTHR04=1
FRARMINN=1
GNOLL=1
INTRO=1
INTRO15F=1
IRONTHRN=1
MANAFORG=1
MELISSAN=1
MINEFLOD=1
NASHKELL=1
NITEDAY=1
OUTRO=1
PALACE=1
POCKETZZ=1
RESTCAMP=1
RESTDUNG=1
RESTINN=1
SARADUSH=1
SEWER=1
SOAINTRO=1
WOTC=1
WRECK=1
WYVERN=1
I'm pretty sure that's all the movies in the game.

Or, for a definitive way to get rid of movies without having to skip them.
