I can't remember where I read it, but a Dev said that there will be less Traits than in past games. Hopefully this will diminish their effects. I really don't like the huge amounts of Traits that can develope over time and I don't enjoy that part of the game. There are so many that I usually ignore them. I would like to consider them, but only if there are a few major ones per Character. Hopefully this is the way CA is heading.
