Nice to see a few stories up, hopefully there will be some mileage in this. Anyway, I was curious as to how everyone plans on playing their character, personally I think EB has a great system of traits which can give a character real personality and I plan to base my avatar around them, and also to bring into play any ancillaries gained. Anybody else going in that direction?

In general I think I will, but I will probably ignore a few that go entirely contrary to my perception of the character.

Well, I certainly am, and I think we all should. It doesn't make much sense, for example, for a languorous coward to rush around all over the battlefield before charging carelessly ahead into the fray. We should all play our characters like they are, not like we are. That's my humble cents, anyway.

There are ways around things like that, for instance my character who is a pretty useless general (dull, languorous, terrible tactician) has a veteran officer ancillary. So I will roleplay that my character "has a headache" on the day of any battles and his faithful officer leads the army.

I will do as Rodrico Stak, I'll add a few traits if they don't appear

No one except me and WH can not use the console no matter what. If this is discovered then those people are barred from the game and perhaps any similar games I plan to make in the future. People can cheat in singleplayer campaign as much as you want(I do it quite often have to say) but not in here.

Yes it is and some very good ones too.

0.0 That wasn't what I meant... I'm not going to mess with the console lol

How can I explain it... I'll make up new "traits", cause I don't want my roleplay to follow the in game traits 100%. I'll add new imaginery ones lol.

Yes I also cheat on singleplayer.
Also the cheating penalizations should be made clear, it's quite an important issue.

Sry.. I should have looked why you said something like that..

But just like I said.. If we catch someone cheating then there is only one thing we can do.. He will be thrown out of the game..

EDIT: I will open the Royal Council 2-3 hours from now. So get ready

That's a little bit cheating, IMO. Okay if it happens, but in every battle? Come on. That's not roleplaying, it's just avoiding a flaw you don't want to deal with.
