Lock Picking or Research? Just wondering if you pick a lock, are you able to steal some money or items? What about research? Can you find clues in the city hall? The skills help doesn't states clearly.

I like lock picking, but I agree with gradbeth, it is more of a convience than a necessity...it doesn't always help.
Research saves you from having to ask about an alibi...turning what would be a fake into a real...which in turn saves you from having to ask the townies about evidence..allowing you to narrow down your list even further....in most instances, it actually allows you to elimante two people because of the questions you save about the person cleared by research.....

Both are useful, and everyone above is correct, even when they don't agree. But I would say get lock-picking: you bump into that locked door all over the place, and to have to think every time "if only I had lock-picking!!" is very frustrating!! You can ignore the fact you don't have research much better :-)
(I have two pretty good detectives, one with lock picking and one with research, and constantly clicking the "pick lock" link to be told "you don't have the right skill" drives me CRAZY!!! LOL)

I vote for research, Anyone that is willing to give me a skill that eliminates one suspect with a fake or no alibi, I am willing to marry.

Total n00b question about research... Is it available to Tough/Charming archetypes?
'cos if it is, I think that's where my skill points will be going.

Yes, it is available to everyone. You just have to pay full price for it.

It is 13 points as long as you are not a smart archtype.

I just realised that there's also a pick pocketing skill... Anyone knows what's the use of this skill? Does it enables us to steal things from suspects?
