I'm after opinions on whether it is better to try to build an all around detective or to build on your first asset and fill in the others later.

I started my detective with simple background choice and I am a disgraced doctor who is very smart. Every time I have enough Skill Points I buy something new and at the moment I have

Adjustments
Toughness: 0
Smarts:0
Charm:2

Should I try to increase my tough and/or smart to even them up or should I concentrate on getting even smarter because that is my base theme or build my charm?

Very confused Lolita :-S

(One small addition here....)

You said you keep forgetting to do favors. You might want to start remembering them. They're the easiest way to get equipment (the other two are to go to the Detective Shop, which doesn't offer very good stuff, and to go to Big Lucy's, which is expensive). They're also the way you earn contacts. Either way, you win. Both equipment (well, equipment that's in line with your particular skills, anyway), and contacts, make processing cases MUCH, much easier, and means you'll prob'ly won't be having to bribe as many people as you have been. Give it a try. ;-)

Thanks Breitkat,

Confused Lolita now has to decide whether she wants to change tack midstream. I already have 2 tough skills and no charm skills but if I need to go to Delhi or London to build my toughness maybe I need to change direction and build my charm some more. I am finding out fast that it is the intricacies of this game and the different paths you can take is what is so addictive about this game.

And yes I stapled a sticky note to my forehead. Remember to do favours and Little Jobs every day! Heheheheh :)
