I'm thinking about getting the Underworld Connections skill. Could anyone tell me what it does and how to use it!?
Thanks
Marcus

Thanks! Good, I don't need to work towards getting that yet then :)

I think it is convenient, but would get most if not all other faction skills first.

I agree with jstkdn, as I have never had to quit a case due to a hiding suspect. (One of the townies has always given them up.)

it tells me I'd need to pay 15 skill points for it too - it seems very expensive :(

As long as the townies haven't clamme completely, I wouldn't say that you need it. I've never lost a case cos someone's gone into hiding.

May-29-2005 09:13

yeah - me neither actually. perhaps I'll stay clear of it until i get some more usefulf skills!
thanks for the advice everyone!

I have lost cases because of a suspect going into hiding.
I have also had to pay over $2000 to find them on an Almost Impossible case.
Underworld connections is quicker than chasing townies for the location of the suspect and usually cheaper

I'm not quite up to Almost Impossible cases yet Lady Grey! When I do though, I'll definitely think about getting Underworld Connections

You should have every skill if you're on almost impossible cases, though. Am I right?

Waiting until you have EVERY skill to do the impossibles may take a while. You should have all of your smart and a complete set of interview skills at the very least. Lock picking, hypnotism, and the others can make it much easier. I used Judge of Character, a full set of charm skills, and an almost full set of tough skills for suspects to solve Impossibles for a long time. I just recently aquired lock picking. I'm sure it just depends on how you like to work your cases though. :)
