I never play tutorials for any British DLC that comes out. I'm familiar enough with all the common features that it's just a matter of finding where everything in the cab is, and I'm good to go. So when I'm working my way through journey mode, it's always irritating to see that tutorials are required to complete at least once chapter. There is NOTHING in the game more boring than playing a tutorial for a loco you've already put 20+ hours into. And some of these really drag on as well, making you do two stops to "do it on your own" or forcing an emergency stop. A lot of these I start playing just to get them out of the way, but I get so overwhelmingly bored I quit and put it off until another time. I can't even think of a good reason for why they're in journey mode to begin with. If a player wants to play the tutorial, they'll go straight to it, and if they're playing journey mode I'd wager they already have an understanding of how the train(s) work.
I second this as it an be quite boring, especially when that same train is available on more than one owned route. Although I must say they are useful if, for example you play a route with an unfamiliar train (handy when I want to drive a route not set in the UK or an older train).
Agreed. Although tutorials might be useful for new players, they're currently required to score a medal for the whole Journey, which is annoying for experienced completionists. At least drop those requirements so one can score a medal for a whole chapter without the need to do a tutorial. I must've learned how to drive the Dostos for the 10th time or so now...
Yup, can't disagree with this. Maybe add the tutorials to an options right at the beginning asking the player if they want to do the tutorials and if they say no, mark them all as done and move on (this will also exclude them from the random run selector)
I believe there already is an option to exclude tutorials from the random run selector. Either way, I understand why tutorials are added to the random run selecter, but the game could automatically mark them as irrelevant/obsolete as soon as the player completed any scenario or timetable in a particular loco.
