I think it would be a great incentive for players if we could aquire more than 2 contacts per city. I don't mean right away of course, but say every 500 or 800 thousand experience points, get another one. Why limit to just two contacts when you're bustin' your butt working in the city, doing favors left and right etc? you're bound to make more than two contacts at some point I'd think.

Oh and I almost forgot... If you are in agency you can have all contacts, since your team can help you with theirs.

I agree with Reda. I just had a case with three handwriting PEs - my contact is the Banker. If they were all like that, I wouldn't be playing much longer: clicking through each of those suspects one by one was not very exciting!

I agree! I like it the way it is,having only two contacts. It would make it way too easy if we had more than 2. Having a challenge is apart of the FUN!! :o)

To go with your "realism" concept, you say you'd naturally make contacts from doing favors all the time.

This can be true, but on all those other cases, a private eye is probably a HUGE pain more than anything else. You're constantly interrupting their business and taking up their time by harrassing them with questions.

As a self-employed business owner, time is money to them. They likely dread seeing you walk through their door multiple times each day. It's probably quite a privilege that even 2 of them like you well enough to answer all your questions.

Just to make it intriguing, yes have more than two as possible, but also make it possible for existing contacts to decide they're fed up with you keep pestering them for information, and they have decided to no longer function as your contact. Wouldn't that be a shocker.

That would be interesting Crash but I dont think I like the idea of the possible chance of losing a contact LOL ;)

Mind you, if we went along the "Sleuth to be more realistic" lines, we wouldn't get clients who hire a detective and then won't give him/her any information, and/or turn out to be guilty themselves!!
