In training some of the new people for Mojo we were having the never ending discussion about skills.

We where talking about when we first used a skill what it felt like.

So for the rest of Sleuthville...

What Skill made you go "COOL!"
What Skill made you go, "oh that's it?"

Im very greedy then :) LOL because I think it is great to get money out of the guilty client :) After that hard work and that sucker lied? heck yeah, Im taking every penny I can get from him/her!! LOL :)

Pugilism turned out to be a substantial help in unclamming witnesses & suspects. I expected the effect would be a bit more dramatic though ("attempt to beat the crap out of him/her")

I started out with Lock Picking and Judge of Character (and another skill that I dont remember right now). I like lock picking a lot while judge of character is pretty useless, especially if you don't have Sweet talking or Interrogation skills *roll eyes*

I highly suggest getting lock picking, it's a huge help on harder cases where the suspect clams before you even ask a question. I've found stress detection and interrogation very helpful too.

research-wow!
Lock picking-cool
garbage:
judge of character for sure and I rarely use stress detection

I was so infuriated when they told me I had to waste 12 skill points on Pickpocketing. I swear, if I could, I would have gotten La Cosa Nostra to gun down every single one of those Dies Arcanum freaks.

Pickpocketing sounds like a huge waste of skill points to me. 12 skill points just to get a little extra money?

JoC is useful when my Charm skills weren't too great. I'd save a case an ask a more experienced to unclam a suspect if I thought there was too much risk that my skill wouldn't work. I'm sure it'll come in useful again as I develop tough skills. JoC would be more use if the difference between tough or charm working were greater.

Research is still my fav, underworld skill is cool and survalance comes in handy, I often forget I have that last one. I get a clam nearly leave the suspect then think ah .... I may get you on some balckmail...ha ha.
