Get traits later in game?

[Skar-Laind]

So have anyone managed to get some traits later in the game from a mission or is the 3 staring traits all we get?

Looks like you only get the three traits. You can also lose them later. However, you can get equivalent bonuses without the drawbacks for nearly all of them. I think the Wanted trait is the only one that can't really be replicated.

I imagine so. Starfield offers services to remove existing traits. So gaining new ones would be logical.

Played about 90 hours so far, and have yet to see any thing like that. You can't even change your traits when you start a NG+ (which greatly disappoints me).

There are magazines/comics you pick up that give you traits. You just have to find them.

Traits fixed and won't ever change unless you force them too. It's part of your "background".
Use the console command "showlooksmenu player 1" without the "".

Can you give an example? So far all the special magazines I have just have given some kind of bonus. Not anything like what the traits are.

Character creation is so stupid and illogical that it allowed me to create for my first toon without a single trait, lmao. Now I'm playing traitless hero, Jesus.

I think you can only remove traits. Not add them.

I was just considering it the same thing. But I guess you are correct. It is more of a flat bonus than a trait. The big question is, do we have to carry around the mags after we pick them up or can we get rid of them without losing the bonus?

You can get rid of them. I'm storing them all in an ammo box in the basement of the lodge, but you could also just sell them.

Good to know. In my first game I carried about 10-15 mags around on me. Didn't want to lose the bonuses.

By doing some faction quests you can pick up similar things like the starting traits, for example the Vanguard faction quests will lead you to becomming a citizen of New Atlantis and you can then buy a "house" in the Well.

I got Empath, Extrovert and Adoring Fan (because every review site recommended that trait, apparently he gives you free stuff). They forgot to mention that the fan is very immersion breaking and annoying so I told him to take a hike. Now I have one trait less.

Does he give better free stuff than the regular companions? Sarah, Barret, and Andreja give me free stuff all the time, and are less annoying.

The appeal of the Adoring Fan is he never complains about anything you do. You don't have to worry about him getting mad and leaving.
