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?"

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.

After buying a lot of smart skills at the beginning, I chose judge of character as my first "earned skill." I worked hard to earn those 10 skill points (very smart archetype), and then, the exciting moment came... "you should choose to be nice" ... "wait. this doesn't do anything...?!!?!?!" (*throws papers across room*)

Humorously, my double (very tough archetype) has 1/4 of the experience as my first character and is already better off in skills, having completed the smart skills (less faction skills and adv. thread which he doesn't need in NY as he has the tailor as a contact... maybe later) and is one point away from completing the tough set.

It is a little comforting down the road though, to have an impression about your chances in unclamming a suspect, especially when you get a 100+ number. But knowing that, I'm still not going to get it for my double until I can get about 4 or 5 faction skills... so never, basically.

RESEARCH! That's the one I said Wow, Cool! over.
So far, I don't think I have any skills that I think are worthless. I use JoC constantly. don' t have stress detection yet,
Lock picking is sometimes pretty useful, other times..... like when you finally get someone who's door you can pick and they give you a list of suspects who are already on your list. Or you just need their alibi and get the same thing.

grrrrr, Della that one makes me NUTS! Just reading it made me want to bite down on my wallet or something.

I'm also voting for research. It works every time, irrespective of archetype. Plus hey...honestly...who wouldn't feel a little smarter if they knew they were a skilled researcher, lol??!

well i'm just beginning sleuth right now so u can get the noobies viewpoint here =P

the smarts
thread analysis-helpe dme sovle a case or two but often times it seems like the threads just there to throw me off. not a very incredible skill but definitely useful
advanced hair analysis- it seems to b a very useful skill but so far every time the hair is found at the crime scene, the killers always the one with the opposite kind of hair. i've actually lost so much faith in it that the last time i guessed between two suspects, one with the same hair as the one found at teh crime scene, i've picked the one with the different hair and got it right >=[


Toughs
Interogation- fails so often. makes me go "UGH!" and wished i saved for something like lockpicking
Stress detect- this one was pretty cool =P useful to know when ur talkers bout to clam

right now i'm saving for the Research u guys make out to b so great. from what i heard so far it seems like one of the most popular

Todrab, safecracking is only useful if you are in an agency, and participating in a key hunt. So if you're not subscribed, it's a waste of your skill points.
