Hey what's wrong with this game? I can't even talk to anyone they all freak out! I go to someone in town, not even a suspect, I just ask one question, one, ONE question and half of them freaks out!

What rules this thing? Is it experience? I find that totally absurd and doesn't make any sense... especially some among those people owes me favors.

I'm only doing the hard and really hard cases, but they look like impossible to me I quite 4 cases out of 6 in the past three days because of that silliness of no one wanting to answer questions as stupid as have you heard anything about this case! LMAO

Can someone tell me how I can fix that? I,m tired of always wasting my skills and chances to charm someone for alibis and stuff... not to mention wasting money for that too in case of bribes.

You know what I find most stupid in this? It's that when I ask my first question to this guy, he freaks out, I charm him to answer me, and he tell me he knnows nothing!!!!!!!!! WHAT!?!? Why in hell did he freaked out anyways? What's with this game anyways?

"I can't go any lower than that level because I only get experience, which does nothing apparently."

Experience points add up to skill points. If you get a skill point for every 100 exp points, it will take you five easy cases (20 points each) to gain a skill point. Sounds like you are trying to do cases that are too hard for your detective. Drop down a level like CFM said. That should help. It takes time for your detective to catch up to your skills. You may know suspect 1 did it, but because people clam, can't get their motive, therefore you can't accuse them.

Agreed. If the case is a big too hard then it might help to go to easier cases. Sure everyone wants the hardest cases that give plenty of experience and skilll points. For the newer players though it may be a little hard if you try to do the hardest cases straight away. I do agree with autumnsprings above post, experience adds up to skill points. You can build up experience and eventually youll still get those skill points.

For me since I have around 650,000+ experience skill points come pretty rarely now. Easy cases Id need to do like 50 who knows maybe over a 100 for a skill point. If I want skill points I pretty much need to do the hardest cases- Almost impossible difficulty. Even they dont give skill points with every case. If I have to estimate Id say maybe every 5 or so on average, almost impossible cases give me a skill point. Like the name implies the cases are almost impossible but if you have lots of skills (like me, I have all the advanced tough skills and smart skills) so I have almost no trouble solving the cases. They also take longer to solve then easy cases but the rewards are better, its like 5500 experience or something and every 5 or so cases, a skill point.

Ah okay, thanks, I didn't know skill points came with experience... thought experience was just a measure of how successful your detective was.

Thanks for your help... I'll do the hard cases, they're easy for my Dectective, but the really hard ones are just plainly ludicrous lol

Kidgame, I don't even want to try to calculate how many easy cases I'd have to do for a skill point! :P It'd take me months!

Columbob, oneday you'll look at the really hard cases and think how simple they are, it just takes time. :)

Columbob, yes experience is kind of a measure of how good you are. The more difficult the case you complete the more experience you get. Eventually skill points are rare and almost impossible to get. They do come with experience. With new detectives it is easy to get skill points but the more experience you have the harder it is to get skill points.

CFM, me either. I dont want to do tons of easy cases to find out how many I need to do to get a skill point. That would take way too long.
