How do we know it's not a virus or anything malicious like that? So far I haven't seen any posts from anyone stating that they found the file where indicated and checked it out... but in all honesty, I'm not sure I'd blindly believe anyone claiming it to be 'as advertised'. That being said, I also see no reason to need to download a file like this as you can just look up the console commands and do the same thing yourself without risking infecting your system with a suspicious file.
This could happen in any Mod as well, theoretically. So while a valid concern (sorta) I am not sure why you are applying it only to a save game file.

umm, lol... arent you like the main person who makes judgement calls against how long it takes someone to solve a puzzle?
Here are some of your quotes about people taking too long to solve puzzles from my "Food vs Puzzles" thread:
"your issue is the same issue I've seen in some 'Let's Play' videos on Youtube... you are overthinking the puzzles and making them a lot harder than they have to be."
"So there isn't a need for excessive moving and trial and error if you just stop and think about the puzzle and don't try to include mechanics that aren't even hinted at"
"if you haven't found the clue for something you haven't looked in the right place or are simply overthinking the problem."
And my favorite:

They think that because it's a puzzle it has to be some complicated and convoluted solution, when in very nearly every case, it's completely the opposite. The best way to solve the puzzles is to think, 'What is the simplest way I could possibly meet the requirements of this clue?' Far more often than not that will be your solution. You think that is worthless advice? Fine, keep trying to make things more complicated than they have to be. I've already beaten the game and found everything, without having to resort to the spoilers you've already looked at because you didn't want your characters to go hungry, and I didn't spend hours upon hours wracking my brain on them either.

It's Anurias vs Anurias !!
I agree with what you say here, but it sure is a 100% switch from your thoughts and judgements in the Food/Puzzle thread. If we take what you said here and applied it to the other topic, then suddenly you might be supporting my request. Aha, caught ya!
Regardless, I like that you pointed out how anyone can give themselves God Mode via the Console. That is definitely true, which makes it strange that people like Dr. Disaster came in to this thread and bashed the original poster for making a God Mode save game, when the only thing that save file does is provide a shortcut to using the Console. Hey at least we finally agree on something!
