#36300466020 06/09/2008 21:36:48 Multiple Personalities

I'm creating this post in the hopes that I can gather some input from the community and the attention of the dev(s).  Essentially I love the fact that the game offers the stat hack missions, because, of course like everything else in life, things change.

What I'd like to see implemented is the option to change one's personality as well. For instance, I'm currently a New Age Hippy, but I was torn between choosing that or Troubled Intellectual because my real-life character exhibits qualities from both. However, just as in real life, your character can change (for better or worse) and I'd like to see this option included in the stat hack missions or in the implementation of another medium. Things change and considering that once you've chosen a name the server keeps it forever, creating a whole new version of a pre-existing character isn't worth it just for the personality change. So essentially I'm advocating for even more freedom to change your avatar. I'm no programmer, so I'm not sure how difficult it would be to implement this idea. So I'm asking for input from the community as to why this is a good/bad idea.  /Discuss

I remember this topic from a while back.  I think I recall it being very difficult to change such things.  In terms of RP, I tend to think of the Personality as how that person was when they were first awakened.

Yeah, this was brought up when CR2 first came in and several times since.  For one reason or another it's not gonna happen.

I think it's because the Personalities are linked to the stats and the base stats are altered depending on which Personality was chosen, I don't think it can be altered.

The only reason I can see for one wanting to change it is to change base stats. I honestly don't think anyone's shallow enough to judge your personality traits not matching up with how you act in RP.

I got many and I wouldn't mind adding to it...

I mean

yes, i think it would be awesome to revert from the personality of *CENSORED* to the personality of nice in less than 2 sec in game

It might as well either replace the stat hack entirely or be a completely different mission that's quite a bit harder. Still it's a bit much for the Dev's to do even if it is possible with MxO database just to change a few words and shuffle some numbers around a bit. I have to agree with Ballak, even in RP, most people aren't going to be too bothered if your personality doesn't reflect the initial starting trait.
