God-Fearing+Love Interest= No stress relief possible in town? Bug?

[Doom-Slayer]

So I just got a character with God Fearing and Love Interest. God Fearing means I can only pray to relieve stress, Love Interest means I can only use the brothel.

Both TOGETHER, means I cant do anything at all to releave stress. Seems a little unfair to be able to have RNG give you both since they dont make sense together. You should either not be able to get 2 of those restrictions, or if yo udo have 2, to be restricted to either option rather than none at all.

Send the character to the sanitarium and remove one of the skills. But if the character is still lv 0-1 just dump him/her for a new character

You either kick you guy or heal one those quirks in sanitarium. Consider using seatch next time pls

Oh I know that you can remove quirks, my point is just that the combination makes no sense in the game. Having a character fixated to the point of excluding everything else on TWO things, just makes no sense at all.

The 2 quirks should be mutually exclusive. Just like you wouldnt allow a character to have a "Strong" positive quirk that boosts damage, then a "Weak" negative quirk that reduces damage. It would make no sense for a character to have both.

but you can have both a boost and negative quirk, they just offset eachother. i am not sure what your complaint is here, i thouht this was intended. negative quirks are supposd to be punishing, this means you must remove it. you can also have love interest + cant go to brothel, and you wont be able to relieve stress

Thick Blooded + Thin Blooded disagrees with that assumption ;)

it's not a bug at all from what i've heard, i kinda find it nifty, its definitly annoying but i find it amusing a hero made a promise they would never drink anymore but that drinking is the only way they can relieve stress.

You can borth fear god and have an affair. Its not like stronk and weak.

Thats not the issue. My issue is with consistency. In a game that focuses so heavily on the quirk system, having quirks that dont make sense or are inconsistent is not a great thing to have. Heres an example

A character that is both strong but inexperienced...is consistent, that idea makes sense.
A character that is both strong but unfit..is consistent and makes sense.
A character that is both strong but WEAK, is not consistent, that combination doesnt make sense by the definition of those words.

Its the same with having both God Fearing and Love interest. Having a singular fixation occur twice doesnt make sense for a character to have at all because neither fixation can logically be achieved. One woudl override the other, both cant be equal.

Ideally, all you need to do is change how those quirks are worded possibly or make one override the other, but right now that combination existing doesnt make sense.

No, its just another example of what I think shouldnt exist in the game :)

lets face it, all traits are completely random, there is no complicated engine or formula behind it

Oh I know, I just would like a little bit of tweaking to it thats all. It just makes the combinations of quirks more believable, makes the characters more relatable and just makes the game better thats all. And I think a small change like it would make the game easier or change gameplay much, it would just make you characters more believable, and then you get attached to them more and it makes it more fun.

If you don't think people can have conflicting character traits, you haven't really gotten to know very many people. ^_^

I think the fact these heroes can develop traits that make it impossible for them to relax until they're "treated" is hilarious. I just toss 'em in the asylum and hook the alligator clips up. No more Tippler vs Resolute for you! Witness stopping you from praying? Don't worry. This'll help you forget all about what you saw, li'l buddy. :)

I had a character who was an alcholic and also wouldn't drink.

That guy was chucked to the curb.

[Serulin]

do we really need 100 of these threads... yes characters can have traits that make it so they can't rest in town which need to be removed. It is a feature which I highly doubt the devs are planning to remove.

[Zak]

Sounds like you have a pretty quirky character...Also humans are a contradiction, it's certainly possible for a person to deny themselves their true desires.

Just to chime in here, I at first thought it was a bug as well but then I got to thinking about it and it sort of makes sense with the flow of the game. Think about it, your heros are going insane. Being God Fearing and having a Love Intrerest is the same as having a man of the cloth lusting after a lady. It is maddening and wouldn't allow that person much stress managment. Being strong and weak could be chalked up to delusion. "I'm a big boy momma! bring it on beasty!" when he stands in at a waifish 90 pounds.
