We have a thread about the favourite skills, but which one is in your opinion most useless? Or not the best choice at the beginning?
I would say i don't understand the reason to use Judge of character...i think it may be useful when you have got Charm and Tough equipment in agency, but you still have to go to agency,change clothes, go back to suspect who can clammed up as well...

What exactly does research do?

Research allows you to rule out one suspect with a fake/none of your business alibi :)

I don't think I'd really call any skill useless, though most can seem that way if a skill type isn't available (like if you have a low number for the charm rating, and don't have a way to raise the number, you'd likely find Sweet Talking useless - however a detective with a high number for a charm rating would find the skill very helpful). So the usefulness of most skills just depends on a detectives statistics. Some, like Judge of Character, always seem to work though.

I think stress detection is pretty useless. Judge of character and faction skills are usefull but I would only get those after you have almost everything else.

i´d say stress detection is very useful. After sweet talking (or rule bending for townies) I can always tell if suspect (townie) is willing to answer one or two questions more. for example I have 2 Curly Hair, and I want to ask Barber. So with Stress Detection I know if he´s willing to ask one or two questions more.
for me Judge of character is useless, it always turns to "being nice".

judge of character is useful, when you have all of the skills from one side and don't know what to do... :) but serious... townies and suspect can be more talkative when you use the right skill to make them speak, so you just have to check should you interrogate or talk sweet to them :)...i hope it's true, i don't have it and it's only my idea how should it works...
