what is needed for a proper analysis? For me, for example, saves are quite enough
the presence of anti-cheat only interferes at the rest stage - and even then, out of idle curiosity
But for me, they aren't enough. There are always unchecked directions, unconquered Dragon Utopia, etc., and after the game, I want to uncover all that just to evaluate whether my decisions were correct or something. And doing it on my own is long and tedious.
