I have asked the following question to Ubisoft Support:
May 29, 2018 at 08:41 PM EDT
Any plans to make Far Cry 5's cutscenes, especially "capture party", skippable? It seems that the vast majority of players is getting sick of those features and for good reasons.
LuisBP @Ubisoft Support kindly answered (translation from Spanish):
In relation to your message, I inform you that I will forward your request to the corresponding team so that you can take it into account in future patches. I also recommend that you post this petition in the forum so that more people can join and reach the developers' ears first.

So, my dear fellow players, please join my petition and let's hope that we get this implemented soon.
Yes, and that is the real problem - I wrote especially "capture party" because those make the game quite impossible to play beyond certain points. Alright, people who like this kind of fun may have it optionally and even get rewarded for their high speed shooting or resistance to foggy drugs. But forcing players to do that is truly unacceptable.
If you want more opinions, please read https://medium.com/@vsasztalos/far-c...g-8af70b163813
and dozens more of similar complains. Just google "far cry 5 capture party".
After playing thruough the game once to finsih the story [and only for the uplay points].
I have not gone back to the game because of this very issue.
I just tried the game now just to see if set up has changed and it has not, as a result its back to fc4 for me to rehash an already many times completed game.
I also will not be buying New Dawn until i know that they have reverted to skippable vids and free choice gameplay
