Hi again
3Diddlyf95zone !
As an addendum to my post above, for how it is nice to have this new scene, but also how from a roleplaying view it can be good that some traits are either easy or difficult/impossible to get on the various main routes.
For example, I have saves for really wholesome romance and sharing (our couple in love, but having special "fun" too) runs with near max love points, low to medium Jamal points, high Kati points and the traits Hedonist, aroused Exhibitionist, High Libido, Sapphic Desires and (optional depending on routes) Snowbunny Initiate.
This is with the currently available traits quite the sweetspot for nice, wholesome romance and sharing, no matter if Jamal is FwB or even boyfriend here, how our couple develops and what they experience. From a story point of view it makes really sense that the 2 Exhibitionist traits come from our couple in love experimenting what they like in bed, so it is much harder to gain these traits with hard NTR paths, since it is unlikely such experimentation happens if our couple is just together on paper.
Likewise it clear why traits like Hybristophilia are unlikely to be gotten on full romance or sharing where our MC and Jamal are buddies, there would be few possibilities to gain such knowledge and preference even with working at Jamal´s Club.
But being able to choose a trait early might come in handy in the future with further interesting traits possible to being gained, but even now it gives options you did not have before. e.g. taking High Libido early enables you to take other choices at the Truth or Dare game, for a slightly different story of our couple. Or there are (future) traits where it is nice to have them early.
How different the trait combinations can be, just an example from one of the few hard NTR saves I keep for completeness speed runs: There You do not find e.g. any Exhibitionist traits, but traits of rather dubious usefullness feature heavily like Drug haze or Hybristophilia. From the story told this makes quite sense so.
Especially with more traits coming in in future updates, this new "traitpicker" scene will be quite helpful! nice idea and work!
Looking forward to play it, but currently I´ll be happy to play the new christmas events once the current version becomes available for us plebeian fans.
