Now, Bethesda has confirmed that players can remove traits they dislike instead of making a new character. In a recent video,Todd Howard shared some details onStarfield’s dialogue system, and other footage from the game was also shared. Players can see an in-game menu at around 3:01 that shows some character traits, and it looks like users can select up to three at the beginning ofStarfield. Todd Howard stated that players will not be locked into their choices, as Bethesda added in-game activities or quests that will allow gamers to remove traits if they wish. Some players may dislike aspects of their character after playing the game for a bit, and this feature lets them simply remove character traits instead of starting a new playthrough.
Selecting a trait also prevents them from choosing conflicting traits, such as not being an introvert and an extrovert at the same time. The video highlights a few interesting options in this small clip, such as the Hero Worshipped trait, which makes it look like theAdoring Fan fromThe Elder Scrolls 4: Oblivionmay be making a return inStarfield. InOblivion,the Adoring Fan becomes the player’s follower after they achieve the rank of Grand Champion in the game’s battle arena.
