Why can boss fights be started while first-timers are watching the cutscene?

[Duuude007]

I don't support asking first-timers to watch cutscenes after the fact for most story content. Events at the Praetorium, for example, make little sense without them.

While I have zero patience for players who want to stop and smell the roses for the hundredth time, I do have patience for first-timers.

As do I. they can spend a full hour watching the cutscenes for all I care. Their choice. It doesn't really affect the rest of the team.

What does affect the rest of the team is those who spend even half as long as that, and demand the rest of the party do jack squat waiting for them. One or the other, people.
