I SO WANT TO GO TO HERE! I want to visit all past memories of the game and storylines I have forgotten.
It would be really nice if I could watch the storylines I forgot or did not understand fully when I first saw them.

Can small steps be taken to make viewing them at least a little less inconvenient? For example, could the Goblin Footprint in Sacrificial Chamber be moved to Den of Rancor? Or could there perhaps be an expansion of Domenic's services?

I have little need or interest in this personally, however a compromise might provided through the SE account system. Perhaps add an option on site, where you can select a character, and it brings up a list of cutscenes the character has experienced. From there they could get super-lazy with it, and display the cutscene with your character replaced by a featureless fomor, so, you can review the cutscene,but with absense of your character's details. In short, its still a huge hastle, but less so because they would only need 8 versions of the cutscenes, and could have a GM run through it somehow to get them, and just recoard/youtube em up. More or less.
I'm sorry but the biggest issue between the story being spread over several months is that you have trouble remembering everything that happened. Having to find all the foot prints to rewatch cut scenes is extremely asinine.
Tangent: I was disappointed to learn that the new character/new allegiance cutscenes can't be replayed at all. Any hope of adding those?

Woo! No theater! Love how people still pay for this kinda crap updates.
Sorry but the technical reasons so far are thin.
It should work like so:
Player initiates cut-scene theatre and chooses a cut-scene.
Player warps to area where cut-scene takes place.
Player watches cut-scene.
Player is warped back to theatre area.
The same memory issues exist as if the cut-scene was taking place.
Yes, you'd have to know which cut-scene goes to which area - shouldn't take that long.
Yes, you'd have to warp the player back to the theatre area afterwards - (*cough* callback *cough*)
I'm a videogame programmer professionally, so I ask for the technical details because I'm intrigued about how hard it is - I expect there is a more complex reason, as this is a 10 year old game and the code-base must be like spaghetti.
