If you had to re-start your detective from scratch, what would you do differently this time around?

As a charming detective, I would have been smarter about getting my contacts, working favours only for female ones. Male townies answer my questions anyway, for the most part, and as it happens most of my contacts are male, which leaves me at the mercy of those vicious females.

It seems like you have a nice variety of PE contacts for your notes. Banker, Librarian, Calligraphist, Postal Clerk. Sure beats all those lame shoemakers and barbers.

Nope, I've got the shoemaker in NY, not the banker. And believe me, I'd kill for Ruby as my contact there. Or maybe I could just kill Ruby....hmmmm....

I would have chosen smart and charming as my archetype, and tried harder to get the Stage Manager as a contact.

Ara, I totally agree! My male contacts seem like a bit of a waste. Killing Ruby...oh yes... or maybe that tailor in Delhi...

I'd have Shady and Big Lucy as my Contacts. Larry the Toe keeps asking if he can crash at my Apartment, but I'm like, whatever...

It's funny because when we first introduced Contacts, it never really occurred to me that a PE contact could invalidate the need for an advanced skill (although having the advanced skill still saves clicks). This was a bigger issue of course when there was only the one city. Now, I don't think theres very many people who've managed to get the same PE contact in all 5 cities.

To (badly) paraphrase Secret_Squirrel:

Like meatloaf through the hourglass, so are the days of our sleuthy lives :)

I'm one of the idiots who bought stress detection and judge of character early on, like waaay before I had all the smart skills. I'd do that over like Keanu Reeves in Hamlet.

I'm with Ara, would have same sex PE & WE contacts, jumped way too quickly at the Music Teacher & Tailor in my first week of Sleuth.

I don't regret it now, as it has been good to earn XP, and learn from scratch, basically by myself, but I think I'd also have joined a proper agency to steepen the learning curve.

Is there anyway to avoid falling in love with suspects?

twist wise? no, it's random. unless you're looing at biggies avatar, then it's totally reasonable (is so trying to get back in the good books ;) )
