Larian Studios Forums Divinity - Original Sin Divinity - Original Sin - General Should i control traits?

Hi

I've noticed that in many conversations my two characters develop their traits or gain new ones and each slider bar has two traits they can lean to. Sometimes it seems obvious which trait each character should have and other times i can't decide, but in some cases it's very hard to get each character to gain the correct trait point without reloading a quicksave and correcting the conversation.

For example, my wizard started with a willpower or 1 but with my play style he has developed 2 points in leadership! Also i would like to increase him in charisma and reputation to get better at bartering and win people over, but it requires a lot of work and reloading to secure the correct points.

Am i doing this right or should i just play and forget about where the points land and what traits i receive?

Thanks

I see the Traits as AN EXTRA in this or that, but I don't count on them while planning the characters of my heroes (which points & how much I wish to invest in stats, abilities, etc) !

I never wish to reload because I choose "the wrong words" in conversations ... I live with the chosen paths I step on.
Maybe a next playround I choose something else


Good luck !

For the main part it's no big deal, but for rogues it can be.

Apart from the few real nice immunities it should not matter. Really.

I would advise forgetting about them. I obsessed over them too much, and my playing experience suffered for it. Better to just play the way you want to play and view whatever you get from the traits as a bonus.

Ok cheers

I can't say this better !

Thanks Vardis !
