New NPC trait suggestion post (Patreon)

Hi all!

I'm taking a few days to catch up on forums etc and get some serious progress into game 2. However, I'll need to start the main content for 0.4.23 soon and that means deciding what it'll be.

I'm going to be starting on partner traits, with an emphasis on things that might be hidden from the PC when she just starts dating him but discovered when they're married. These will mostly focus on "bad husband" traits, simply because it's harder to think of positive traits that wouldn't just be rolled up into things like the Caring personality.

My original plan was to add three: Cheater, Heavy Drinker and Gambling Debts. Probably with a release dedicated to scenes for each. However, January's vote made me wonder whether or not players are really interested in catching their partner cheating.

I don't want to spend development time on things people don't care for - I'd rather add fewer traits and get to the big 0.5 vote quicker.

So, I'll soon be running a vote to determine your interest in them. Before that, I thought I'd check in to see if there were any other traits people wanted me to consider alongside the above three. If you have any suggestions then post them here and I'll consider them before running the vote.

The general conditions are:

- Traits will get at most one release dedicated to them. Anything that demands more content than that isn't suitable.

- Traits' effects should be mainly limited to their new content as things that need handled in a wide-range of scenes can impact future development time. I had two suggestions in an earlier post (small penis and bad-in-bed) which sort of violate this but I'll still consider because they're things that have been on my "maybe list" for a while.

- Traits should be relevant to relationships. Ideally they'd be things that only matter once an NPC gets together with the PC.

So, post below if you have ideas you want considered. I'll put up a vote post soon - probably tomorrow evening.
