Do you want small story scenes added to Defending Lydia Collier?

Hey guys and girls,

Hope you're all looking forward to Christmas and have a great time!

As I'm working on v.0.13 (progress is going well, nearly 700 renders done) I'm also working on the computer which is how the main story progresses over the weekend.

I've been wondering, do you want very small (we're talking 10-20 renders, no longer) story scenes of what is going on for the main story plot for that episode. I've been thinking about how some of my favourite investigative TV series work, and often in the cases of things such as Midsommer Murders, Spooks, Sleepy Hollow and others the episode will start with showing the event the episode is about. The episode starts and you see a shadowy figure walking through a graveyard with a bow, then you see a man you don't know reading in bed, as he is about to turn the light off to go to bed, he hears a knock downstairs, he walks down the stairs and the BAM, he's shot with an arrow, Midsommer Murder theme tune plays, the episode begins. 

Is this something you'd be interested in me adding for Defending Lydia Collier, I was thinking, SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED V.0.12 (MAYBE SPOILERS EVEN IF YOU HAVE), if I had of added it in v.0.12 then the episode would have opened with showing the woman making the end of the phone call the MC receives, there being a knock at the door and her being snatched by the mysterious group, then straight into the MC and his dream and the usual.

Is this something you think it would be good to add, or you'd rather I didn't? I did do this a bit randomly with Shadows over Manston before, it never really made sense, but with this it would be accompanied by the news reports, any evidence and then your team's investigation, so you could link it all together.

I'm personally on the fence, I think it would be great for storytelling to show, but I think it would suck if you want to be especially focused on "just being the MC". I could make it optional, but if 99% don't want it and won't use it, then adding it is a waste of time, hence this poll.

Let me know, they would definitely be quite short and they'll definitely be optional if added.

Thanks,

Honestly I dont see an appeal in that, it kind of breaks the pace because things arent presented in their chronological order, and second of all, we already have mission reports to keep us informed about whats going on.
