Ok, I am in really good with the Don, but want to switch factions.. what is the quickest way, any advice... Of course I stopped doing favors. Should I also make sure to drop cases that they want me to win? Any other suggestions?

I would wait until after lock picking, too.

Plus I don't think you can get two canes if you don't have a place to put one of them while you are buying the other (ie. an agency equipment locker).

Wait to buy the items until the highest price goes down to $14000; then you know the prices won't go any lower.

Good point Dr. I had my agency hat on. Besides I think she bought a wristwatch, that she would want to hold on to. Dang I forgot about lock picking, good point. Will cost her a bit more points then research. SO better getting that one first.

Good call, shame about the hair analysis and then getting a barber contact. :(

Get whatever is the cheapest in skill points first. I am guessing sweet talking is the cheapest to get.

But you do better then I did when I started. I wanted to figure this game out on my own without outside help. I am tough, and ended up getting a bunch of smart skills and equipment. OOPS. I should have been less arrogant.

Uhm that would be CHARMING skills and equipment. Other then tough, I am a dork.

Humm I don't think you're a dork at all LOL

Yeah bummer about the contact, but I got the hair analysis before I understood about contacts anyway.

I was a bit wary originally posting to this forum, but I do enjoy forums, and contact with other sleuths!

It is a question, safest thing is to post in the newbie thread!
