This is 100% the best solution but SE either can't do it (lol technical limitations /s) or won't do it (they've made a decision and are sticking to it).

No newbie bonus? You can skip the cutscenes. They don't serve a purpose at that point.

No, the dungeons were changed to do that. They weren't programmed that way originally.
