Can the whole prologue be skipped with other method than using saves?

Every time I restarted the game, I had to go through the whole "walking cinematic" with Dr. Reed, where the game doesn't prompt any means to skip it.

The reason why I'm asking about not using a save method, is because of the use of mods: he game crashes when loading an unmodded game or one that won't coincide with game's mechanics.

I was wondering if devs made about some deep mechanism about it (maybe a hidden console thing, starting the game with parameters, etc) though I haven't found any so far.

Game has some modding potential, but it seems that nobody made a mod to skip the whole prologue (starting at Sarif, augmented, 6 months later).


Solution 1:

It does not seem so. However, by using a glitch, you can skip most of it.
