I know spacebar skips dialog, but what about the animation? I'm so tired of Eldred and Mithras' slow hobble across a disintegrating landscape. On no, here comes Interlude for the 20th time!

Edit missions in scapex. Otherwise no.

Did you consider trying the Escape key?

These games are much older back in a time where cutscenes animated this way was a big deal.

No there is no way to skip the animations just the audio which jumps it to the next sequence, it's literally built into the map the same as Warcraft 3 for example.
