Given that Sophie’s message is available on the NoA at the welcome center, must it play automatically because a battery was placed in the slot? The interruption is unwelcome right then, imo. I’m ready to boot up NoA. I can click on ‘Personal Messages’ to get that exceptionally long speech and new players, no doubt, will. They’ll go through all the options.

But it’s a welcome center, it’s supposed to greet people

@JudiciousVerse424: It already does this via the NoA node’s options. Were it called “Welcome Message” rather than “Personal Messages,” it might come off as a generic message Sophie and Nahema overwrote or something. Point is: it plays automatically and that’s entirely necessary. It can be accessed via those options. As is, the long speech can’t be skipped on subsequent playthroughs even if you select something on the NoA node. It’s as bad as unskippable cut scenes. ;)
