My detective is Smart and Charming and I have obtained all their corresponding skills.

Is it even worth to continue on obtaining regular TOUGH skills eventhough that is not my type?

or

Should I concentrate now on obtaining faction skills and leave tought skills for when there is no other choice?

You don't really need two outfits. Even with a 25 or so point difference between my tough and charm (that's negative points on my charm), I find Sweet Talking/Rule Bending still works better around 12.5% of the time (based on Judge of Character). Not sure, but you may get a better return on tough skills, since the flirting bonus doesn't apply to every suspect/witness like pugilism does.

Regardless, I'd advise going after some of the faction skills first (with the exception of Lock Picking and maybe Stress Detection). The charm faction skills in particular are worth having, and picking up the whole set of tough skills is a looooong term investment.

Gracias to all for the information, I really apreciate your input and guidance!!!! It seems as if faction skills are next on my list.
