I'd like to hear from folks who have the more advanced faction skills - which ones are best value for a detective playing charming. Hypnosis and surveillance both seem like they would help solve the most cases, but I don't know anybody who actually has both. Thanks.

I agree this is a sleuth talk question.
I also have both skills, and I guess they are both useful in their own ways, as jstkdn says.
Hypnotism works best with charming clothes on, so it can be annoying for a tough character who questions suspects in tough gear. Even then, it sometimes works, and as it is tried automatically and potentially works over and over, it can save questions on the suspects while compiling the suspect lists.
Meanwhile, surveillance works only once per case, IF it works, so it's important to change into smarts gear to try it, as well as waiting until someone clams from whom you /really/ need an answer.
Still, I think I would go for surveillance over hypnotism, as when it works it's GREAT!

hypnotism. Surveillane IF is works can get you maybe 3 or 4 questions. Hypnotism (you need be wearing charming equip) will save you those 3 or 4 questions, by making it so you don't have to waste questions finding motive.
Surveilence is cool when it works, but I don't use it on 90% of my cases. Hypnotism helps every case from the start.
