I have two questions about learning skills from faction bosses:
1) Do these skills cost skill points as well?
2) What number do you have to be for them to teach you the skill? At the moment they 'don't know me well enough.'
Thanks!

Yeah, you've got a point there, Oliver, but the equipment they sell don't seem to correlate with the skill type in terms of how many points they'll cost you - so could be worth going for a faction that sells equipment suitable to ones type of character too :)

I have Tough and Smart, so should I get pickpocketing first?

I don't think I have a choice because La Cosa Nostra and the Order of Socrates hate me.

Malfait, you have somewhat of choice, because you can stop doing little jobs for the DAB and try to get in with another faction.

But I think it's worth reminding the new players that ALL the faction skills are really non-essential compared to basic interviewing and evidence skills, by which I mean all levels of interrogation/intimidation for the tough players and all levels of sweet talking/rule bending for the charming ones, plus crime scene skills, followed by research and lock-picking.

At least, this is the strategy I followed in the Mop Men competition, in which we had to start a new, unsubscribed character and see who could get the most points in a week without getting retired. I came in third, so it was an effective strategy, I think.
