For those, who have gotten all the smart skills and a set of charm (or tough) skills finished, suggestions on what to go for next? Should I try for faction skills or just start working on the other interview set? As a side note, I have gotten Hypnotism and Basic Interrigation already. I'm considering getting Underworld Connections but I'm not sure if I should go for something more immediately useful, like Lock Picking. Suggestions?

unless, of course, some cool new skills develop from hunting arch villains!

I see you´re smart and charming so you may not need tough skills, I think you have better chances with charm. So i´d say faction skills first and after that rest of the tough.
That´s what I did, being very charming.

btw I have a question... Would you consider the research skill as usefull?

I am hesitating between getting the research or the lock picking skill first :|

Research is absolutely wonderful!! Definitely get that skill :)

Get research. It is a must have. It eliminates one suspect for you. And Lock Picking is the next one. It saves a question sometimes and will give you suspects or an alibi.

Catherine, (btw, I still love your name)
I would recommend research before lock picking. Research eliminates one suspect that would have turned up as a false alibi. They are cleared and can not be guilty. Lock picking only saves you one question per locked door, and might be a question you already know the answer to. Lock picking is good, but I think research is more helpful.

Catherine - I have Research but not Lock Picking and I find research to be of great use.

To those who replied - again thanks for the info. I think that I've decided to go with R Anstett and Arabella suggestion and go with Lock Picking next (once I have the points). Underworld Connections would be nice but the extra question seems more useful to me at the moment.

I would like to know the secret combination that will get more suspects out of people and get more answers out of the townies!!

Hypnotism gets more suspects out of people...it's a charmin skill and it does not work 100% of time even with charming gear on..but it's a very nice skill

What are the chances of hypnotism working for a VERY TOUGH detective? I have all my tough and smart skills. I am working on getting my charm skills.
