Add monologues for MA!

One thing I would really love for MA is the ability to add monologues for the main Villain/Hero at the end of an arc, as seen in STF with Aeon and several times with Nemesis. A cut scene allow a 1,000 word cap of dialogue for the big bad villain to explain himself and his motives like Nemesis tends to do.

1000 word cap thats pathetic for a true monolog

Well it can always be bigger, I just really want to see the ability to give our villains (and heroes) monologues.

Cutscenes are very hard for the devs to set up, apparantly - so I'd guess they might be looking to improve that for themselves in a similar way to how they improved their own mission maker and then used it for the MA - so we might get a cutscene tool added at some point.

It doesn't even need to be a cutscene really, that just would really be used to draw the players attention.
I'm really just looking for the ability to add a monologue instead of sticking it in Clues etc where people aren't always inclined to check.

Monologues gets a /Signed from me
As does an improvment in making Cutscenes for the devs that we might one day see.

However, making them skipable if your playing solo would be nice.

It'd probably be easy to add an enable/disable cutscenes option in the menu.
And as cutscenes are just another part of the mission making process, I think we might be given a tool to make them eventually, as it'd just be an expansion of the MA.

However I bet the script to make a cutscene work takes up more space than just dialogue... with the current limit of filespace pre arc it might not be sensible to have cutscenes as well.
