Hi all,

I realize I'm not exactly a Newbie, but I knew this thread was here. I am Smart and Charming and I have these skills:

Hostage Negotiation
Hand Writing Analysis
Footprint Analysis
Research
Advanced Sweet Talking
Judge of Character
Underworld Connections
Lock Picking
Hypnotism
Surveillance
Advanced Rule Bending
Advanced Thread Analysis
Advanced Hair Analysis
Flirting

and I can now afford Interrogation which I think would be a good next choice.

What do you all think?

Sounds good... if not maybe Stress Detection.

I know some people don't value stress detection, but I got that skill early on and I find it very useful - if you're working AI cases, you have to use every angle you can, and many times that involves questioning suspects beyond motive and alibi - so knowing how many questions you have remaining for a suspect can be very helpful - IMHO

I personally love Stress Detection and couldn't live without it. But I guess it's a matter of preference, there are also people out there that don't like that skill or find it unhelpful.

I really like stress detection too. Really helps me parcel out my questions, especially with the townies.

Thanks everyone, but I think I'm going to go for the Interrogation. It seems the Stress Detection/Interrogation choice is a wash. I've been fairly efficient with my question asking and not knowing I only have 1 more has never been a problem. I'd rather have a better chance at getting someone to spill.

I have a question for everyone about my next skill. Going into really really heard what would be better Advanced Intimidation or Lock Picking?

adv intimidation.

Lock picking is also really cool skill, but you can only use it twice in each case. You cant controll which suspects and what info you'll find.
Adv intimidation will help you with all clammed suspects (or was it townies?). In the harder levels they tend to clam up very fast, so its neccesary.
