Pick Pocketing

It seems that pick pocketing is a COMPLETE waste of skill points, at least for experienced detectives.
It hasn't proved useful to me, NOT EVEN ONCE. For hard cases where there are many suspects the chance that the client is guilty is very low.
12 skill points is too expensinsive for such a useless skill.
I should have known better.
In my opinion, either it should be much cheaper, or it should be complemented with extra abilitities (e.x. being able to pick pocket your witnesses to get back money you gave for information).

Well, advanced hair analysis shows you if a hair is curly or straight, but you still can find who it belongs to without it. It just makes it easier.
Anyway, my point is not to say that pick pocketing is the worse of the new skills. I don't really know because I haven't seen the others yet. All I'm saying is that I would like to see my skills working. That's all the issue here. Maybe I had more expectations from the new skills than I should...

Sorry you wasted skill points on something useless; but I'm glad to know it's not worth getting. I almost got it too, but thanks to your information, I will avoid it. Good luck!

lock picking and research should be the top two

i dunno, stress detection helps, and to have either both interrogation and intimidation or both rule bending and sweet talking (if the latter, flirting helps too)

DaRu, what level cases are you playing? I do ridiculously hard, which means I have 11 suspects. This means that the probability of the client being guilty is 1/11, which is very very low to make the skill useful for me.
Maybe at lower levels it would be more useful.
My personal advice is to invest on the basic skills first. I think they are far more useful to the gameplay than the new skills.

skills and archtype go hand in hand. but just as in real life, if you can get people to tell you things, that's an invaluable quality....so my vote is for advanced sweet talking & advanced rule bending
