Ideas needed for worst character combo ever

[NOOBz]

1 of my friend was complaining about how shy is crippling his game. So I was thinking of challenging this scenario when he suggested to do the worst character combo with 400 point.

So what should I put in the personality/trait and where should I start?

Please don't include health reducing trait. I want to experience his life.

lol Shy is a tiny little tweak. There is no single trait that is going to kill your game, nor is there one that will make you a god. Genius is good sure, but i've seen some horribly bad stat genius in the game too.


Shy, ruthless, glutonous, cruel, greedy.. that could be fun :)

Shy + Paranoid is tough. Add Impatient and Chaste.

There is no bad trait. Only a mid finger from RNGesus...

How about a more detailed setup of the character?

Genius ruler with excellent learning education. Ambitious, arrogant, cynical.

Oh, and she's 50 years old without kids. Bonus points if you can get her lots of cats.

What are your parameters? You could make a Queen with all 0's be shy, gluttonous, and sadistic. I think that would satisfy your experiment.

Well some of the trait combinations are pretty wild, i have seen rulers getting something between 70 and 250 stress for a single action. Or some events where all three choices would give stress.

I think with Shy + Lazy you also cannot lose stress from either feasts or hunts.


For the ultimate challenge, you need some mods:

- Spouse Designer
- Daddy Pika's Cheat Menu
- Become Brothers

1) Design your ruler with some crazy traits (Shy + Paranoid etc) and copy the DNA

2) Design your spouse and import your ruler's DNA

3) Start the game

4) Add your spouse to your Dynasty with the cheat menu

5) Make her / him your sibling with Become Brothers

No illness.
16 starting age.
400 point limit.
1 lifetime game(not full game because i will probably cheese the upbringing stuff halfway).
Any race and religious in any region
No mod

just for laugh only... maybe for bragging right in the future

Yeah, I was going to say this. Shy is roundly terrible in my experience, and paranoid can wrack up stress really quickly. It's funny, but with a lot of the traits, it honestly feels like there are mostly downsides to having them. Even the ones that seem objectively good, like being just or honest--forgiving maybe the worst--just make it difficult for you to manage your realm, though at least you do get positive opinion modifiers from most people.

If you have much experience with irl people and their actual personalities, you'd see that its probably not an accident that alot of the personality traits in this game are mostly negative ;)

ha! Yeah, the only trait offhand I can recall that I like is Calm. Oh, also I think Gregarious is pretty decent.

1. Start with the sins of your religion.
2. Add in gluttonous, possessed, cannibal, witch, any of that.
3. Anything with deviancy, homosexual, that would strain relations and give hooks/secrets.
4. Look for some that give a penalty - Education 1 for example, or traits that give penalties to Intrigue, Martial, Diplomacy, or Stewardship. Reckless is a terrible commander trait.

Gregarious and Calm are good until you need to take certain actions - in fact, look for traits that give you a Stress Penalty for taking mandatory actions.
