I know I'm a bit pain in the ass, this is called "striving for perfection" ;)
Besides, I feel it's relatively easy: you take of the loading screen quotes, make the gradient background, use proper font, and then sync the timing with music of your choice and voila :)
The first image is a part of the painting called The Quarrel of the musicians (or The Musicians' Brawl) by George de la Tour, you'll find his works on google images

Haha :D
The reason why im not adding quotes yet: there is few cutscenes in the original t3 (intro for keepers, pagan, hammers ), and there is only one slot for videos int the t3 gamesys.
So later, when i'll be mixing them together, i'm going to make the quotes for the briefings.

AFAIK there is the possibility to add briefing videos to all missions when you edit them in T3Ed, so you don't have to restrict yourself to the existing ones in any way.
However, what might be worth a thought is the question of the background image when the quotes appear. After all T2 already used more elaborate ones, so one could provide new ones for Keepers, Pagans and Hammerites. One idea would be to take scenes from the OMs (Jacknall's Paw location, slow panning, and similar) and see if there are decent video effects to make them more appealing. Another idea would be to edit the three existing intros and expand the section where the quotes appear. In TDP you first had a long sequence with the chains and the lock which got shortened throughout the game. One could do the same with the TDS Keeper intro, reducing it slowly to the drawer scene with the keyhole symbol.

Good idea, T2 had keeper library, pagan forest and mechanist factory in the background for quotes. We could load the Keeper Compound, Pagan Sanctuary and Mechanist Fort in the editor and use that borked Scene manager tools to make a simple camera path for every scenery, and record it with Fraps or similar thing. After that you'd need some brightness/contrast/colour effects in the video editor and you got a proper background for the quote. It takes much more processing power than the simple static gradient though.
