Three Steps To Success

[Dark Jaguar]

Responding to EM: I watched a few episodes of that show and I have never seen a more bitter group of humans in a show as I see in that one. Everyone's wearing their hearts on their sleeves and get overly offended by the audasity of, for example, someone else working on a crime or something. Seriously, HORRIBLE characters in that series, and the only thing making up for it is interesting mysteries. It's like this Jerry Brochenhammer guy doesn't know how to make a good character story so he basically just has everyone backbiting each other and taking offense all the time, and if he wants to be clever, use sophomoric "philosophy" that anyone can see through to pretend to be deep (like the pseudo psychoanalysis they all try to do on each other, with no basis for their conclusions I might add, flying in the face of otherwise scientific proceedings they go through). Aside from that, minor quibbles on the scientific accuracy, like the reality of lie detectors being basically useless, or one experiment that wasn't properly blinded for control of bias, but nothing major, just things only a dork like me would bother pointing out. Seriously though, terrible characters in that show.

But yeah, something like that, only using only what would reasonably be known about crime scenes in this fantasy world (in other words, more like Sherlock Holmes, where a handshake tells me that woman is a gardener, based on the wear and tear on her hands and the grime in her fingernails). I figure if for realism's sake the game gets made easier, for realism's sake it can be made harder for those evil types as well.
