Why didn't you pick any of the more negative traits? Like your example is the most basic harmless one. There's ones with way more downsides. Did you pick the '2 loving parents' trait and are mad they don't kill you on sight? lmao. Like I picked wanted where I always have a bounty and it's cool. I've had a bounty hunter show up in the middle of a boss fight before. Both in space and on ground. Added a decent complication. A few of the others are pretty long term negatives like weakening aids and food.
I also don't know if you explored much because the game has a pretty robust ailments system. Like if you pre-plan sure you can have all the expensive cures on hand, but you can get quite a few ailments at once from fucking around. I had a cough for like 4 hours because I couldn't find an aid for it. I eventually had to go to a doctor to get rid of it.
I did pick other negative traits. My problem with this one is it straight up lies to you in the description. You think it is going to be negative but instead it is the most basic boring version of what that trait could be. I've explored many hostile environments where conditions are common and haven't had a situation where I didn't already have the sure on hand but I tend to loot a lot.
You can't change your traits after starting. For my play style, this one should have been perfect. Instead it just sucked all fun out of the potential mechanic.
its like the trait that gives you living parents.
makes a big deal out of having to send them money every week.
Its little more than a rounding error on your accounts, the amount you end up sending.
And they end up giving you several amazing things or free.

___ A big honkin awesome ship, Thats got amazing cargo capacity for as early as you get it: Just gotta visit them a few times to get it and a pretty fuckin awesome pistol that, when i got it, was outdamaging everything i had except shotguns by at least a factor of 2.Seriously, money in this game is a joke. Getting to be a rich removed is easier than building water purifier settlements in Fallout 4.
