If I own the Order of Socrates Pendant and then I eventually get on the good side of another faction, will the Pendant work against me?

Also, I'm currently on my way up in the OOS faction trying to get Hypnotism. It will take me longer to get all the skill points necessary as I'm not "subbed" but I'm fine with that for now. My question is would I be better off with some of the other easily accessible skills first? I'm assuming Hypnotism will get a clammed suspect to talk. Is that correct?

TIA

p.s. I can't wait for a shower and shave. It's been difficult charming people out of being clammed while in this state. I understand the gym may be "locked" or it's difficult "getting past the guards". That's OK but I am looking forward to it. *humorous attempt at wondering about my approved avatar*

The equipment works for you no matter what faction you are with. Do you mean would your pendant affect how much the other faction liked you? Or would the alliance with the new faction affect the pendant's points? Either way the answer is no.

Skills: read the newbie thread, i'll bump it for you after i post this. It has hints and tips on strategies and skill acquisition.

Hypnotism: no, thats not what it does. It 'helps' a suspect remember some extra people with motive. For example, they may think of 2 to begin with, but with hypnotism, they name 2 more.

hth!!

Just a small addition on Hypnotism - they may name a couple of additional people when asked about other suspects, but it doesn't work on all of them (it's said that charm gear should enhance its likelihood of working, but it seems to work fine for tough-dressed detectives as well), and it varies how many they remember when it does work (at least in my case) :)

Hehehe - started to worry if maybe it was just me who was really bad at hypnotism since they won't always name that many extra for me ;D
