The jetpack it a whole new world. Being able to pick locks is kina a must too. Persuasion is definitely one you'll want to invest in if you want to just talk people into doing whatever you want shy of shooting themselves in the face.

Agreed, that combo will get you most places and into most things.

If you have any interest in speeding through NG+, persuasion is crucial.

Persuasion can be great. I've talked my way out of fights I didn't know I would be able to. Or talked my way into bypassing sections of quests that might have been time consuming.
