When Gwynne wants to pray for her lover, a monk would agree spiritually, a narcissist would dismiss her opinon but this one special bastard would make up an excuse ("free him from wordly matters" or smth). The most problematic aspect is that tags do not even add up, they coexist and your companions will switch between unrelated aspects.
It would not really make sense if "narcissist" would override "monk" and these *placeholder texts* will make it hard to figure out how this person came to the conclusion *items are free to grab*.

That is why I think, in favour of single player experience, we need a lot of content behind "Gwynne"-tags and tie them to "player decision" tags, basically doubling the amount of writing for origins.


This was a problem in PoE. You could have a reputation for being honest and deceptive at the same time. So a person loked you in one moment because you are honest, but in the next moment she hates you because you are deceptive. This felt like this person in scizophrene, not me.
I agree that tags alone are not enough to create a good character.
