I already have: Interrogation, Intimidation, Footprint Analysis, Research, Advanced Thread Analysis, Hair Analysis and Thread Analysis.

I have 9 skill point to spend and can buy: Stress Detection, Sweet Talking, Intermediate Intimidation, Advanced Hair Analysis,Rule Bending or Flirting.

I was saving up to get the lock picking skill from DA, with whom I have good standing but would I be better off buying one of the above?

Any advice gratefully received! Thanks 'tecs!

Lock picking is a regular skill that allows you to save asking a question of up to two witnesses. Safecracking, available from LCN, helps in a treasure hunt with keys, obviating the need to acquire the last key. Pick pocketing, available from the DAB, allows you to collect your fee from your client when he or she is guilty. Other skills are more important than these.

As you are following the tough path, Interrogation and Intimidation are to my mind most important - all the levels of both. Also important are the evidence skills, but I would focus on the I & I first, myself.

i totaly agree get the highest levels of I&I first and lockpicking and reserch r good ones to get too. with lock picking i mean the normal tough skill. not the safe cracking or pick pocket which r special skills.

Thanks for the tips, both of you. I've just purchased Intermediate Interrogation. Will see how it goes......!
