Given that the loading part is fast enough by itself, I have seen the intro video showing Bethesda enough by now. When launching the game I want to play as fast as possible, espectially when I quickly need to check something.

Is it possible to disable the intro video?

Yes, it is.

Go to your Skyrim folder. Inside this folder there should be a folder called "Data". Inside this folder should be a folder called "Video". Delete the video called: BGS_Logo.bik

It should be the only video inside the folder. I have also tested and verified this works (and doesn't break the game). It just puts you on the start menu where you can load or start a new game.

Possible locations, replace the path where applicable, check the (x86) folder on 64-bit systems.

  • %ProgramFiles%\Steam\SteamApps\Common\Skyrim\Data\Video\BGS_Logo.bik

  • %ProgramFiles%\The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim\Data\Video\BGS_Logo.bik

You should rename the video really, if you delete it you can't go back. – Tacroy Aug 9 '12 at 1:30
@Tacroy You can verify files in Steam and it'll restore them. In other words, you can redownload that and only that through Steam. – crazysim Sep 4 '12 at 18:09
