Skip the intro scenes
By Xander77
For some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ reason, the story intro scenes that really should only play when you start a new playthrough play every single time you start the game.

How would you like to cut the number of stupid ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ you have to skip before you play in half? This guide will tell you how to do so.

So how do you do?
You need to head to Steam\steamapps\common\Thronebreaker The Witcher Tales\Thronebreaker_Data\StreamingAssets\videos\campaign

The simplest way to do that is by right clicking on Thronebreaker in your library, and selecting "properties - local files - browse local files".

Now Rename nr000_cs1_game_intro to nr000_cs1_game_intro2 and tb_intro_logo_en_us (or " tb_intro_logo_en_ru" "en_pol", depending on your location) to tb_intro_logo_en_us2

Don't rename the .manifest files with the same name - the files that need renaming are the ones bigger than 1kB, without an extension (e.g. .exe and .manifest are extensions).

Thanks to Fonjask on reddit for discovering this.

Also, "tb_intro_logo_en_us" might be "tb_intro_logo_en_ru" or "tb_intro_logo_en_pl" or whatever your region is. :tokitori:

Note for me, the folder was in <Steam install location>\steamapps\common\Thronebreaker The Witcher Tales\Thronebreaker_Data\StreamingAssets\videos\campaign

Works great, thanks.

I'm 44 hours into the game before finally looking up how to do this, I get annoyed each time I launch the game but then I play and forget about it.

Seriously, why do game developers think we want to have to manually skip intros every single time we launch a game? Every game needs to have 'skip intros' in the option screen.
