The Scrying Pool has a great function, but it would be much better if you were allowed to see Story scenes from all 3 previous campaigns aslong as you have beaten that game.

Or possibly as a reward for having the Protector Title for each campaign.

Absolutely. I'd love to be able to rewatch the storyline cutscenes.

Well... it won't be much fair for those that do not have GW:EN.

I think they should use an NPC to each other campaign or use already existing ones, for example:
- Glint Vision in Prophecies.
- Togo's Spirit in Factions.
- Avatar of Kormir in Nightfall.

That way people could replay without GW:EN.

Good idea esp with Scrying pool giving all after beating that game.

nice idea.
There are some NPCs in the game that allow you to watch old cutscenes, but having one that allows you to watch them all as in the pool would be really cool.

I've heard this before, /signed it before, and I'm /signing it now. As Mangione pointed out, you can already watch some cutscenes in the game, but not all. There's no reason why we shouldn't be able to view what we've done, IMO.

If they're that worried about it, they could make it accessible only to people with Protector of that particular campaign.

I love that idea. I love sitting back and just watching the cinematics sometimes. It would be nice to see them as often as I wanted without having to go through missions again. Whether they be in the scrying pool or random campaign npc's, I'd love to see this happen.

This idea mainly because i would love to hear what Togo's spirit would say to me. I was so sad when i first learned his fate

It was something we were talking about as tweaks to the pool in HoM, so that it could be used to replay any active cutscene in the game... That allows those people that commonly skip cutscenes and get pressure to skip a scene they have not scene, to go back and watch it again...

I love the idea, but would also love to see it expanded to the whole game in some way. the above solution is an interesting option... Each campaign gets a similar way to do it like the pool... Would be nice... I think thats what Anet is building towards anyway with this...

It would be cool to rewatch the Prophecies' cut scene since I didn't understand a thing (I skipped too much)

Togo's Spirit?
Fail.

Use Vizu ... She is in the game already. Quick trip into Tahnnakai Temple from Zin Ku Corridor.... Give her an actual purpose. Either that or Kuunavang in the Harvest Temple...
No point trying to find a place to dump Master Togo's ghost that only game-completers can access. It would require rebuilding the maps...

Apparently you don't know, but Togo's spirit is in Tahnakai Temple after you complete the game. The map has already been rebuilt.

Well... the spirit there give clues and have different dialoegues depending on what you do. But it's true, togo would be too late, Vizu is nearest to the door of the temple.

The Vision of glint can be contacted if you run there.
Avatar of Kormir is also too late, maybe... mabe just a 'Record keeper' in the Sunspear Great Hall would do the trick.

The best pàrt of this suggestion is being able to compare all the dubbin languages.
Really, try them.
You'll see asura have voices tham match them a bi more in Spanish version of the dubbing. More... like the voice of Stitch. XDDd

when those 3 npcs are made, wheres then the sense in having that stuff in the pool ?

there is then no sense anymore for the pool other then for sequences of GW:EN

im not for it:

1. more work for the developers, then to put everything to the pool, what makes more sense

2. gives GW:EN 1 reason more, to buy it maybe for certain players


so

Factions and Nightfall have "replay this cinematic" dialog options, but some of the most exciting cinematics - ones when you complete certain quests and ones at the END of missions - cannot be replayed unless you beat the mission again (and in the case of the quest cinematics, MAKE A NEW CHARACTER AND DO THE QUEST AGAIN!).

Prophecies cinematics aren't replayable at all which is even worse.
