Is there a respec or a save file editor out here?

So this was the first time I played this game and I wanted to play a gunslinger type that had great aim and dodged things. I started with an elf for the bonus quickness and went from there.

Seeing Cybernetics I thought It would allow me to get more quickness like enchanted gear in other games. The first time I got the 2k +1 quickness I wasn't at the cap so it looked like it worked.
Continued on and purchased upto 10 quickness with kharma (11 with my first limbs) and put on a second set of legs. no effect … So in my head I went I guess the same gear doesn't stack as the legs cybernetics was the same one and I just lost 2 essence and 2000 creds for nothing.

Later I also purchased armor with +1 quickness and when that also didn’t increase my quickness I thought that maybe it's the same bonus doesn't stack as It was also +1 quickness and sometimes games just take the best stat increase into account.
a little later I got enough points to purchase the 11th stat and... found I just wasted kharma.

Doing the raw maths I have wasted either 3k creds and 2 essence or 30 kharma depending how you look at it (11+10+9) so I was wondering if there was a way to respec to undo that silly waste of points, as I wasn't warned about this, if not Is there a way to remote edit the file to return these points. I just want to experience the game without having a handicap of what amounts to about a 30% stat loss if you add up the waste compared to what I currently have.

I just finished the game for the first time yesterday, so Im no expert, but you can click on your load save file and it will give you the option to "rewind" and you can go back a mission or 2 or 3. This is probably the easiest thing for you to do. But in the grand scheme of things this game is way too linear, and it didn't seem to matter what you upgraded. As long as you can shoot and hit things you can kill them, and that's all there is to it. If you find you cant get past a stage try rewinding it otherwise carry on.

This game has a dev console where you can cheat that sort of stuff in.

Never played around with any reduction commands, but I know the add money & add karma commands work just fine.

I wouldn't recommend it for your first time through because Returns is a very money & karma heavy campaign anyway... but I found my own experience much improved in Dragonfall & Hong Kong by making a faux import character the above way.

Yeah, Debug sounds like the right thing. Im not the type to cheat but I feel that having a large portion of my kharma null is making things way harder than they should be ^^'
