I noticed some days ago that my character has nothing listed as archetype. Initially I thought it's a matter of items equipped and/ or time.

It seems that I don't get any skill discounts as well.

Could anyone please shed some light on this? Thank you in advance!

That is odd. Normally you have to choose an archetype before you can complete to create a detective profile. In other words, your detective shouldn't even have been created.

Did the system even ask you to choose between very tough, tough & smart, tough & charming, etc?

Yes, I picked an archetype but apparently didn't register.

I also noticed that my account status is "New" even if I'm subscribed, which is not the case of any other detectives I have.

I have an agenda for my Sleuth characters, this one was supposed to be tough & charming - I write down every skill that I get/ should get, contacts and future plans.

I wrote a private message to Sleuth Admin (Ben). I'll keep this thread updated once/ if I get a resolution.

Thing is, as things progress, I am more and more burdened by the lack of skills. Half on my today's cased needed to be dropped until now.

I waited for another 5 days, no response.

What I've tried so far:
- Direct message to Sleuth Admin (logs in every day)
- E-mail help @ hypoware dot com
- Report a Bug form

Does anyone know any other way?

While I understand that this is an old project, I would love to reach later stages of the game and be able to help my agency.

Bela Talbot III saved the day!

If you encounter the same probem, log in and go to https://noir.playsleuth.com/detective/new3.spy

From here you get the option to pick your detective's archetype.

Thank you so much, Bela!

Way to go Bela! Glad it got sorted.
