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).

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