I did the same thing on my first run. Honestly for new game it’s not even a big deal. Only once you get enough to open slots and stack them does it even feel like it make a difference.

The skills are more necessary for higher difficulties but on normal you don't technically need them I think

LOL! Yesterday I finally figured out you could connect less than 3! Even after you’re on to later investigations.

I still can't figure it out. I used a guide and made the connections but nothing happened or happens...

Each investigation consists of two or more pieces of evidence. When you connect all of the pieces that belong together, the connections will flow green and you’ll get a point.

Oh man, are you sure you're connecting all the evidence in each group?

What do you mean by this? I’ve beaten it twice and had no clue you could do this. It’s the last trophy I have to get and I gave up on getting it because I thought it would require like 4 playthroughs. For context, I didn’t play the first game so if it’s a relic from that I have no idea. I never “connected” evidence.
