I'm a tough and smart detective, and so far, i've got

Interrogation
Intimidation
Advanced Interrogation
Intermediate Interrogation

should I get research already? if not, what skills would you recommend?

i'm currently playing at easy to intermediate level.

thanks in advance.

I'd go for the intermediate sweet talking so you are well balanced. But that's just me.

Which are you having trouble more with? The townies or the Suspects? If your having more trouble with townies, then I'd recommend buying advanced rule bending. If your having trouble with suspects, I'd recommend buying intermediate sweet talking.

Hehe I'm having equal trouble...but I was thinking advanced rule bending just because if a pile of suspects all claim the same PE townsperson as an alibi, I'll get more questions... :-/ But I've been recently having more suspects clam before I get alibis...grr. :-)

I think I'm going to go with the Rule Bending...I can always figure out clammed alibis other ways... I'd rather have the PE. :-)

Since you need both as a Charming detective, it's a six-of-one, half-a-dozen kind of answer you're asking for. My money'd be on the Sweet-Talking, since you have a lot more options through your Agency with getting townie help. There are much fewer options if you have all your suspects clam. Again, that's my two cents. You'll need both fairly, so whichever you don't get now, you'll be going for soon anyway. ;-)

Either way, if you're quitting more than you're solving because of clammed townies or suspects, try going down a level. You don't have to do the hardest level you are able to, just what you are comfortable with.

Nunchuck skills, bowhunting skills, computer hacking skills... Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills.

Sorry, I couldn't resist.

ooo ooo bowhunting and computer hacking!!! Shopping too, take ol' Ruby out to buy some new shoes, maybe loosen her tongue a little.

Chuckle. You ain't seen me with a bow and arrow, have you, Ima?? ;-) (Who needs boyfriends... ;-)

I am a smart and charming detective, I have got almost all of basic smart/charming skills (Need hand writing analysis) anyway I was wondering what to get next, do I go for interrogation/intidation or do I go for the faction skills.

I also have lockpicking and hypnotisim already.

on the same lines does Judge of Charactor, tell you if you are more likely in your current situation perswade someone tough or charm or in general the person is more suseptable to which? if it is the latter is there any use getting it until I get advanced intimidation/interrigation?
