A "TESAME" for Oblivion? Particularly regarding saves.

I understand Wrye Bash largely wins the mod utility contest, but I have a slightly more particular question.

 

TESAME, was marvelous in it's elegance. Simply it listed the FormID and GlobalID entries in a file - ESP, ESM, or ESS (save game) and you had the option of simply deleting it. Not only was it crucial for cleaning mods but the principle could applied to saves as well. I rescued many corrupted saves by isolating likely suspects and dependencies, and merely deleting them. It caused it's own problem but brought it to a playable state.

 

I was wondering if there was a save editor of some kind compatible with Oblivion, that functioned similarly?

 

Thanks.

If this doesn't help at least you'll stay interested :unsure:

I have done some degree of follow up research, and basically uncovered that the ESS format is completely different in TES4 than in TES3, and basically, the kind of thing I had in mind isn't quite possible yet, because so little of the new ESS format has been decoded. Gecko looks pretty promising though for a broad degree of other uses. I think I'll be downloading it. :P
