Hey guys !

What's the difference between the talents: Watchful and Sensitive and when and how should we use them correctly? Because to me, they are almost the same.

WATCHFUL: You may use Scout to learn the dynamics in a group of people, and the opportunities and risks therein. You need to spend some time with them. In this way, you may learn of both regular Issues and secret Issues. You foresaw the danger.

SENSITIVE: You can use Scout to learn what other people feel and intend to do, and even their Issues. You saved a life by understanding someone’s true intentions.

Watchful and Sensitive, both allow to get to know normal and secret Issues. Watchful talent requires some time, which is what? Hours?, days?, weeks? Sensitive talent doesn't require time, which means it can work instantly, can it?

Thanks a million lads !

Watchful is a Law Enforcer talent and Sensitive is a general talent so from the start one is available from the get go (for one archetype), the other is not. Usually it will take a "social scene" to use a social talent which of course can vary a lot. I got the feeling that Watchful is a more mingle among a group of people thing while Sensitive is more focused on one-on-one person interactions. This is just me reading the talents for the first time (I have not had the time to test this game yet).

Some talents are very similar. It is the same in Vaesen (the same game designer). So yes they are very similar and one PC most likely doesn't need both. Which one he get is what approach to the "reading" he likes the most and of course what prerequisite matches best.

Thanks a lot Fenhorn ! I think I understand the difference now. Watchful after the successful Scout test can provide such information as: hidden danger in a group, potential alliance within it, and Secret Issues of the entire group that for instance can plan something without telling others etc. Whereas Sensitive as you said is more one-on-one person and after successful Scout test can provide such information as: emotions of the target, their intentions and their personal normal and secret issues.

I asked Chat GPT AI, and it told me something similar. Therefore two of these talents are good to have.
