Tips
  • Collecting all evidence in a location before finishing a case grants an additional 140 XP.

  • A free Skill Point may be awarded via DLC. It's recommended to invest this in the 'Absolute Clarity' Mind skill for a 5% XP bonus.
  • Lootable objects provide randomized ammunition and crafting materials and can be farmed repeatedly.
  • The Titania Lifeboat is an optional investigation that rewards 140 XP and an additional conversation with Robert Throgmorton upon completion.
  • XP bonuses for collecting all evidence.
  • Potential Skill Point from DLC.
  • Access to optional conversations and lore.
