Or don't play for couple of days and you probably get things done the right way.

Good advice, I may do that. I've never used the console, but maybe I'll start doing it for corpse runs. I hate that mechanic. I miss the days of just saving your game and reloading when you die. I don't understand why games need to be more punishing than that now.

(Even in a co-op game, saving and reloading would work, if you save/reload for everyone in the game at the same time.)
