For heavens sake!! Write somewhere (in the FAQ for example) that the skill point gain is based on experience! This is HUGE, and it's not an obvious thing!

Had I known I wouldn't have been so desperate for cash now. Also I wouldn't have so crappy skills and equipment, and most importantly I wouldn't have accumulated two false accusations in my desperation to earn more cash and skill points.

Now I have about 1500 bucks. I need about 10k to get rid of my false accusations. Also the only piece of equipment I *ever* bought with this character is a snub nosed revolver for 3k. You can do the maths yourself. I'm devastated because I didn't know that skill points were xp generated..

:'(

Fortunately I'm no quitter and I will get back up. But I am severely pissed off that I got here in the first place.

Ok first of all, I've never attacked you nor have I said you were a newbie, all I did was give you links (ones that do contain *skill points and xp in the title) and showed you that the answer was there!

Stooby.. man..

I'm not grumbling about lack of help. People are very helpful here. I am grumbling over it being harder than necessary to aquire that information. Or do you seriously suggest it be kept away from the FAQ and help? And instead every uninformed or new player should ask over and over again the same questions? That's how a FAQ is built. You add "frequently asked questions" to it whenever they pop up. And the questions have obviously been asked, over and over again. But still they're not in the FAQ.

Just update it. Stop patronizing me and try to rub in my face that the info is "everywhere". You can't just tell someone there's a treasure buried and give them a shovel. You gotta tell them where to dig.

And to reply to your comment " Yes. Amazing. I assume you didn't use the search function to find them."

Actually I did use the search box to find them...all I did was type in *skill points* and I came up with tons of things!

Actually we can't chance the FAQ's page, only Admin can, so you really shold stop telling us that "we" need to change it because WE can't do anything about it!

Yes. Tons. That I still had to read through to find the info. And I started reading, but after a while I had to quit because it was taking too long.

I clicked on the first one that it came up with, and it came up with one from R Anstett that clearly gives the answer, so I didn't need ot search through tons of them.

Ok. The next time I need to find something on the boards I'm gonna drop you a line because your search skills are obviously much better than my own. You little blood hound, you.

Oh by the way Fionn, I know Stooby didnt mean anything negative and was really just trying to help you, as others who have posted on the board. And about the FAQ, it would really be hard updating it to compile and gather ALL relevant information in the game. The Welcome Newbies thread is an attempt by the users to compile all this stuff and judging from what has been gathered since, I know it would be a headache for one person to go through it all, 'update' it and repost it. It really isnt anybody's fault that there isnt a 'Complete' FAQ thread out there.

Yeah, most of us dont have the threaddigging skills up to par as some others. Just enough reason for us to polish it during times when we are out of cases and bored. =)

Well this thread should act as a flag to all lol! Poitning out the fact that skill poitns are based on experience gained. I still say as your are subbed join an agency, they are often extraordianrily helpful and freindly.

And I think certian points are kept out of the offial FAQ so as to leave a bit of mystery in the game, after all it is a game about detectives...
