Hiya, i need some advice please on which are the best skills to have. I have 11 unused skill points and am unsure which skill will help me the most out of research (?), foot print analysis, handwriting anaylsis and rule bending.
And in general which are the best skills to have, my detective is more of the charming then tough type.
Please help xxx

First off I would recommend to either get footprint or handwriting analyisis first to help you along in the physical evidence aspect.Then rule bending should follow in conjunction with sweet talking and flirting. Lastly,Research is really good to have but you will definitely need the other skills first to advance in your cases.Hope this helps.

i would go research first. cause it eliminates one suspect. then rule bending cause they clam up so often and last evidence skills cause u can do without.
i think looking at this totaly differnt answers just shows that it really depends on ur startegy. i have only one evidence skill and i do fine, so i just use a differnt strategy than holly.

I second reda - research is instantly like being able to solve a harder level of case. I built my interview skills before my smarts skills.

If you are using charm, and charm gear, you don't need any tough skills at all. Trying to switch from tough to charming doesn't ever seem to work very well.

switching from charm to tough works well on townies in higher levels assuming u also have judge of character so u can tell what they prefer, that ur tough and charm skills r both high and that u r in an agency thus allowing u to change to all tough or all charm outfit if u plz. i rarely use it on suspects cause they tend to die on me if i leave and come back.
