Hello everyone,

I was just wondering if the more experienced players might have some tips for a newbie like me.
Yes, I've already read the "Welcome newbies..." post, played the tutorial, and read the Help file. :)

Here's the scenario:
-No crime scene evidence
-Witnesses give me time for one question before clamming
-Down to 3 suspects, all with fake/no alibi
-Townies don't know much about the case
-The person who knows who the murderer is just got murdered themselves...poo. :(

I was just wondering if anyone could give me some tips on where to go from there, or how I should start when such a "favor case" shows up like this.

I probably won't be able to post thank you's until tomorrow, since I need me beauty sleep for school tomorrow(or today) xP so I'm gonna say it right now. :)

Please and much thanks to anyone who replies! ^_^

Thanks for the tip. :) A few minutes ago I solved the favor case. The Threatening Note I found and a bit of Sweet Talking was enough this time (but I still took Hair Analisis after that).

Say, when does the difficulty of Favors change? In the "Welcome newbies..." thread I found the highest difficulty a Favor can have, but I don't remember reading anything about when I will have to solve hard difficulty cases as Favors. I assume it is at certain amount of experience? Or is it after solving a predetermined number of Favors?

Well, I'm not 100% sure but I think it's after successfully completing 10 favours - at least that was the case on a little testing I did once, but I can't say if that number sticks as you progress through all the levels :)

OK, thanks again, Greyling. :)
