Whats is the point of the 1 or 2 traits survivors?

[ROTA]

I mean, am im missing something about it?
Since i start playing this game i have never got anybody that didnt had the 3 traits on .
Survivors with only 2 or 1 traits will get more traits as you play with it ?
Whats is the point of it anyway?

Oftentimes if you run around with them as a follower, you'll get a short conversation that adds another Trait. Not sure of the exact mechanics behind it but sometimes it takes a while sometimes a short car ride will suffice.

Some survivors are better than others.

Its usually depend on 3 things to see if that survivors can be use or not:
1. The traits it self, is it benefit or some generic trait that do not have any bonus?
2. Hero Bonus, you need to use that survivor for a while until you can see what their hero Bonus.
3. 5th Skill, its better if the survivor in question do not have 5th skill or at least have good quirk skill, e.g Pinball, Linchenology or Scrum Certification.

[sigh]

So i guess you know everyone youve ever meet, and know what they like, can do?
Even after 5 seconds.
Personally Id like them to only show 1 trait, until recruited.

Exactly .. that’s what I was wondering
If the ones that comes with only 2 traits are just waste of time but if they eventually will get the third triat that’s what I was wondering
Didn’t knew it

If you only focus on Traits only maybe 1 or 2 traits character may look useless.
You can avoid with back up save file, if the traits not your liking then copy back the save file.
But hero bonus is hard to check unless you use them for a while.
Survivor with hero bonus like Seminars, Analytical Method, Maintain Firearm, Sharpening Regimen, Siestas, Recycling Program or Reads Instruction is worth to keep even they only have 1 or 2 traits,

People will 2 traits will eventually learn at least a third, but people that start with 3 traits will learn a 4th the same way. Everyone has at least one "hidden trait", no matter how many they start with.

There also isn't a limit to how many traits someone can have total. You generally won't get more than 3 starting traits and 1 hidden trait, but then you can re-train all your skills and get a bunch of "learned XYZ" traits. The panel UI will only show 4 of them at a time, though.
