Having traits this badly bugged means we end up with clones. Fight any and you get horribly scarred. You also get a bunch of stars. The AI doesn't. So I have to wonder from a gameplay standpoint if the game might actually work better without them.

A poorly executed feature is often worse than no feature at all. Simple stars based on battles won and titles seems an improvement at the moment. That and getting coward vices when you run. I don't feel that the current system is actually *adding* to the game.
