Changes: Character Traits

Latest revision as of 13:13, 18 April 2018

Traits determine a character's efficiency in the game. Characters can change traits depending on certain gameplay events. When creating a character, players have the option to choose one positive trait (traits do change character stats). After creation, each character is randomly assigned a negative trait as well.

A good tactic is to keep restarting your save, until you get the desired/preferred negative traits (which you can turn into positive traits) on your characters. Also, if you allow the trauma bar to be completely filled on a character, any positive trait will be changed to the negative version (Proactive turns into Lazy, and so on).

Traits[ | ]

Positive	Negative	Effects	How to Change (to Positive)
Courageous	Cowardice	First two attacks in an "attack to kill" are guaranteed to hit/miss	Win fights
Proactive	Lazy	Move faster/slower in the shelter and whilst exploring	Go on expeditions
Optimistic	Pessimistic	Gains stress slower/faster	Return from expeditions with loot (as the party leader)
Hands-on	Hands-off	Craft and fix faster/slower	Craft and fix things at the shelter
Resourceful	Wasteful	Higher/lower chance of recovering items when deconstructing objects	Deconstruct at least 20 items at the shelter (may require more items, it's very random)
Hygienic	Unhygienic	Dirtiness increases at a slower/faster rate	Get food poisoning
Deep Sleeper	Light Sleeper	Tiredness stat decreases faster/slower when sleeping	Don't sleep (maintain sleep deprivation)
Small Eater	Big Eater	Food rations relieve more/less hunger	Don't eat (may require First Aid Kits for health)

Tips[ | ]

Courageous generally goes well with the "Troubled" & "Violent" stat sets.
Proactive generally goes well with the "Street Smart" stat set.
Hands-on generally goes well with the "Athletic" stat set.
Optimistic is good to have late game but early on serves little to no purpose.
Resourceful is good to have late game but early on serves little to no purpose.
