anyone have a list of perks that are consisered "useless"?
watched a video and discovered why inconspicuous feels useless now.
previously stealth was a viable method but now it is entirely useless in all forms of practicality (i tested)

with that in mind i wanted to know if anyone has a thoroughly tested list of useless and "free" perks?

such as:
"very underweight" + fit = net +4 points
short sighted = both this and its correlating positive have no perceptible effects so... free points!
conspicuous/inconspicuous = free points/useless in all forms of practicality inconspicuous now does nothing, zombies may as well be peregrin falcons as they still spot me form miles away, even behind cover while sneakign in dark clothes at night.

pacifist = slower exp so... free points!


also anyone know what replaced the stealth meta? the stealth ranger was my go to build and its now been crippled by not being able to sneak around

The most useless trait is sunday driver, this really causes a major PITA.
The most underrated trait is keen hearing, no joke the behind your back perception is worth every point while cleaning houses.
In all my runs in the last year I always used Obese + Unfit = 20 free trait points.
There are almost no downsides (only fence/wall climbing and fence lunge trip chance are a minor issue) but they are much less annoying than everything else.
Of course besides the "I don't eat rotten food where are my free points" trait aka weak stomach.

It's a lot of points for "curable" negatives, but man that's a lot of grinding.
