How far back can he go to retrieve DNA off a dead person?Yosarian2 wrote:Oh, it's a lot weaker. Especally since it can't find all the mafia members, only ones who have made a kill. Which also means the DNA cop can't really ever clear anyone of being in the mafia, so it dosn't generate confirmed innocents the way a regular cop does. Throw in the added confusion of a possible pro-town vig making some of those kills, and the fact that he won't get any results until at least day 3, the DNA cop is one of the weakest "sane and useful" investigative roles I've seen. At least, that was what I was aiming for.Tekkactus wrote:I can't tell if DNA Cop is more or less powerful than a regular Cop. I think that's a good thing.
Edit: Yeah, somestrangeflea, you could also tell the DNA cop that "person A and person B were murdered by the same killer"; that would fit from a flavor point of view, and would add another nice level of subtle information gathering. I like it.
Also is it me or is the best strat to get a lot of samples off of dead folk as the game progresses and hope you're alive end-game?
