Builds?

[Broseph]

Can't decide on a build. Wanna be either Sherlock Holmes kind of guy, or go full Disco badass.

What builds have you guys been rocking and what would you recommend?

The Sherlock Holmes one is pretty good. Went with a 4/4/2/2 logic and visual calculus build. on my first playthrough. Makes you very good at doing detective work.

So far I prefer 5/5/1/1 with perception as signature skill. First level up skill point into perception, second one into endurance. After that it's smooth sailing, with plenty of Perception boosting thoughts you can slot so you don't have to manually put further points into it.

For the Disco Badass, I'd suggest 1/5/3/3, with Electrochemistry as your signature skill and Inland Empire as a close second. Increase Physical Instrument, Hand/Eye Coordination, Reaction Speed, and Savoir Faire as needed, and you might also want Drama and/or Conceptualization for singing and dancing purposes.

Me personally, I would probably run Sherlock as 5/2/2/3, signature Perception. I feel like his Empathy is generally low, and an Inland Empire-style imaginarium is definitely not his thing. Could maybe use some more Authority or Esprit de Corps, though.

I had a very Sherlock experience with a 5/2/4/1 build, perception as signature.

Very high logic and conceptualisation + ability to lie well and discern lies + low empathy and human interaction skills + Electrochemistry as that special voice in your head telling you to do more drugs, sex and alcohol = Ultimate Sherlock.
