Video game openings help set the stage for the game itself. What are your favorite video game openings? Could be the title screen, or the first bit in-game before the play starts. Could be that you like the music, or that they have a clever twist, or that they're technically impressive. Bonus points if you can link to a PeerTube or YouTube clip of them to let other people here who haven't yet seen them watch them!

    IIRC that intro wasn't in the game originally, but was added in the Enhanced Edition. Basically every CD Projekt game gets a huge (and free) overhaul a year or two after release that vastly improves them, and this cutscene was one of the things they added.
