Ages and ages and eons ago, I was Milady here. I decided to play again and couldn't get into that account, but found I had left this one - so here I am again.

I'm at the point that I stopped with my previous character: I can do Really Really Hard cases fairly well, but can get fouled up by not being to find all of the suspects (or motives, that was annoying). Going pass that, particularly without a second contact doesn't look like a pcnic.

I know the sensible thing to do is get Advanced Sweet Talking, but I'd rather not do the sensible thing all of the time (though even that can't exlain how I have Judge of Character. Sheesh - though mind you, heaven forbid I have basic Interrogation so I actually do use the skill). It is why I have advanced hair analysis though (I wish I had ponyed up the extra point for Thread. No one seems to drop hairs in my cases - the first day I got it, 1 out of 12 pieces of evidence was a hair.)

So, on the docket for my elusive 10 skill points:
Lockpicking
Hypotism (I'm already in their good books, so no worries on the political front)
Advanced Thread Analysis

Any suggestions? Arguments in favor of always doing the "right" thing?

Lady Jas is really giving some good advice here. There is just one crucial thing you want to look at first:

Make sure you have basic hair and thread analysis. Because unless you got those two skills, you may get cases where not all evidences are presented to you. That might make your cases VERY hard to solve.

I will sell those when I find the appropriate favor equipment to replace them with - I'm lower on cash than I like due to clearing Shady recently.

If I was playing more seriously, I would restart. (In fact, I did - this was the first character I created when I first started playing and my second had a better skill set). But I've barely the time right now to complete my four cases a day, and not enough patience to start again :)

Research skill is the absolute starting skill. All detectives should choose this skill to start the game.
Any skill you can imagine is comming after research
