  Yes. Its been verified. Apparently at a Ripper Doc but its pricey and from what I hear money is, apparently, not too plentiful. The game may forgive a respec or two but not too many. It’ll want you to stick to your own build more or less. Encourage you basically.

  upon further investigation it was the special decapitations with the katana that earned cold blood not the killing of the people
