These files control the game’s starting environment (startpos.esf) and save game states (save_games). Critical Warning

Critical Warning: Editing startpos.esf is complex. One mistake in the node tree (e.g., changing a UID reference without updating its counterpart) will cause the game to crash on launch. Always back up the original file. esf editor 148
