Hey All!
Looking for opinions between Surveillance and Hypnotism - what do you think is better?
I have all my tough except Stress Det, all my smarts, and all Factions except Surv., Hyp, and Safe-cracking.
I am not interested in Charm skills at all.
What do you all think?

I find that WHO you use Surv. on is more important than the gear you use. I know that everyone says it feels like a 50/50 chance, but I seem to have closer to a 70% rate of success and I never change my gear.

Well, it sounds like Hyp is in.
RAn, how do you know who to use Surv on?

Mmm the one thing about surveillance I've noticed is that when there aren't any options open to you - ie all your suspects have clammed, THEN it invariably works. If you just use it when your first suspect clams and you have a list of 4 left to question it doesn't seem to like you as much.

SS has one thing to look for. The other one I look for is when someone clams who should not have. You have a 90% chance and the clam without answering any questions.
I tend to use it right away during the motive/alibi questioning rather than holding off to wait and see if I need it later.

Okay, great to know! I figure I'll have it in the new few weeks anyway.
Thanks!

Seem to me like what SS and Ran are saying contridicts (hmmm how do you spell this? lol) eachother.
SS say: wait till everyone is clammed and then it will work.
Ran is saying: use it emmidiatly in the motive/alibi fase, dont wait till the end.
So my conclusion would be, sur. works sometimes :P

Smiles at Reda, yes there are lots of different methods of use. I do think changing to the way I use it now has increased my success rate, but not to the point where I am confident it will work all the time.

How much standing do you have to have w/the order of Soc. before they'll teach you hypno ?
