I have 7 skill points and I have the opportunity to get advanced iterrogation, flirting and thread anylsis. I am a very *tough* archtype and I already have almost all the tough skills. However I tend to find a lot of PE. Normally 1 but sometimes 2. Suggestions, Opinions, Put downs? HAHA jking

If you don't have research yet, I would definitely recommend holding onto your skill points and getting this skill. Also, I would stay away from charming skills, such as flirting, until you acquire all tough and smart skills. It is much easier to progress in the game when you focus on one archtype. Especially tough for you because you are very tough.

Hope this helps. Pm me if you have any other questions.

1 or 2 PE is not really a lot. If you dont have basic thread and hair skills you never find hair and thread. So I would suggest getting those first.

Just to clarify Reda's comment for you.

There are:
Footprints
Notes

and with the right skills:
Hair
Thread

So you can potentially find up to four pieces of PE at a crime scene, but the last two will never show up until you purchase those skills. When you have a full set of Smart skills you will regularly find 4 PE and if you are lucky they will be from yoru PE conact.

However, the easy cases will never have more than two pieces of evidence appear. Though, they can be any combination of the four types of evidence, foot, note, hair, thread. So, you could find 2 hair, 1 hair and 1 note, etc.

Without hair analysis or thread analysis, you won't find these pieces of evidence, and they could be the killer's only clues left behind.
