Bethesda hopes players that get tired of their traits will 'fix' them rather than start over.
. In a Q&A with community director Jess Finster, Bethesda Softworks executive producer Todd Howard shed some light on the game's character trait system, including the ways that players can choose to remove those traits if they get tired of them.
