[Truly]

Regardless, going after someone who we know is going to teach us Scavenging seems like a waste, when unknown pokemon could give us both Exorsism or more of the Sin Purge Ritual, which we know will actually help.

I was under the impression that Scavenging allows us to come up with some materials -- included, Iron Ingots used to make the Holding Cell we just got blueprints for.

EDIT: Another thing from past games is that Exorsism was a learned Ability like Protect/Escort and Investigate, so it might not even be on the actions list until unlocked.

If that's the case, wouldn't it be on the list, either as [Exorcise (locked)] or as "???" or something? I thought I remembered SF even saying that we had found all the Ability Actions, but now I can't find where, so I might've dreamed it.

In any case, we have nothing to go on. Looking for something that may or may not exist in lieu of taking action on a concrete plan is foolish. There are a lot of unquestioned Pokemon -- for instance, the ones I laid out as Stalker-relevant in my other thread -- but we're not questioning them, either.

We had like two or three players take the Resourceful trait, a trait only useful for scavenging, then refuse to unlock scavenging. That's wasteful.

Anyway, @Lychee makes a good point about the autopsy being a free action to complete and now I'm going to go do both.
