Hey all. Just wondering if interogate/intimidate works better than charm skill on certain people ie contacts/clients/male/female/the ugly/ the better looking than ugly etc. If it does make a difference, is there anyway to tell in the description of the person you are talking to? I thought I had seen a brief thread on this subject but I can't seem to find it now. Thanks!

Right. Its more important to dress right for one set of skills to maximize how they work.. so if you go tough, ditch the charm gear, its worthless.
There is an option to get a skill called judge of character that lets you tell whether a suspect will respond better to charm or tough. But if you are wearing really high tough gear, even a suspect that would prefer charm will buckle under for you.

If you pick charming, you can do a little better with members of the opposite sex by adding flirting. I don't think that works if you are tough - but someone else might know better. If you go 'tough' a tommy gun will do you a lot more good than flirting.

I would just like to say DITTO, and say that I'm glad Reaper's agents are making use of the Newbie board :)
