What am I doing wrong? My character is now 88 days old and have been doing Intermediate cases. I only have 3 skill points and I don't get any more at all. My only contact is the Music Teacher.

I have Interrogation and Advanced Intimidation, Handwriting and Footprint Analysis; also Advanced Thread and Hair Analysis and Research.

I have 2 false accusations and every single favor I get throws me into Incredibly Hard cases -these are really impossible to solve with my present skills. Even if I get lucky and solve some of them, I always get a reward and not a contact.

I am about ready to just falsely accuse someone to retire this detective, but have put in a lot of time and effort to advance and just can't get any further.

Is this something I am doing wrong? I would like anyanswers that may help me and will watch this topic closely for a few days. Thanks in advance for any suggestions that may help me.

First off let me say there are seperate posts on every point you mention so rather than wait a few days seach each question out seperatly. Secondly a brief answer to what i see as your points:

You get less skill points the more eperience you get, or to be more accurate the higher your expereince gets the more you need to get to get the next skill point. Fact of the game and no way round it but to play harder and harder cases.

Your favours will get harder the more you play. Again fact of the game up to you will be pleased to know, incredibly ahrd level. Shouldn't get worse.

Contacts come randomly. Shame you got a WE contact first as a PE contact is much more useful. If you were subbed you could travel between cities, you would find the contacts seem to come much quicker then as you impress people in each city. The second though will come, keep at it.

Pay off those FA's, one false move and oops! And as you say 88 days worth of work would be a blow to restart. You;ve done nothing wrong, your skills are a great choice. Just keep at it.

Lastly you seem to like the game, think of subscribing. You could join an agency and get help on cases... And if you are interested in a discount and a possibly agency contact someone at Endeavour Investigations!

Another thing that might help you out is tougher clothes if you get a chance to get tough clothes trade off with something you already have. Once you get your interrogation skills up it will get easier.
