Can you get rid of traits?

No, I mean't that when when you accept the quest from Badger when you come to Penny after you inform her of Badger's plan with the raygun, you have three options. One involves turning the Badger in, the other is you zapping Penny regardless and the third one involves going to Lash so he can re-tool the bimbofying raygun.

Oh yeah... sorry, I completely blanked on that. Like I said, I tend to skip Lash and Badger, so I've never actually gone down that path.

At most she could stand to just have her initial encounter rewritten with either a better excuse as to why the PC can't fight back or... something. She doesn't need to be cut, that'd be counterproductive.

To tell the truth, I feel that in a way the options are kind of realistic?


Not in the way that "Oh shit that person twice Badgers size was pinned to easily".


But I feel like no intelligent person would after seeing some criminal rush in and try and subdue them.


Since them being criminals, they would obviously have a way to defend themselves from being caught.


I really hope what I thought was properly written this time, since it seems every 2-3 posts I give are misinterpreted to be something they aren't...

I made the item, it's somewhere.  Speech perks are used virtually never, so it's not exactly a high priority.

Ohh so it was't lost cuz Fen decided it not fit his vision of bimbo/brutes stuff? Good, Good. Well hopefully in time we get this item too or when people start write more variants n scenes to account for this type of talking.

The button tooltip that leads to you getting raygun'd during her initial "ambush" also points to the possibility of a combat encounter, though. That's why I chose it. I thought I'd be able to fight someone that's obviously an antagonist. I figured that, if I lost, I'd get the bimbo raygun to the face, not if I just stuck to my conviction as a player.


Not to mention the fact that the whole scenario is contrived in the first place. You're some Amazonian mercenary? Badger pins you to the wall and you can't do anything. You're an experienced smuggler with highly-trained reflexes? Badger pins you to the wall and you can't do anything. You're a tech specialist with companion drones or the various anti-grapple techniques? Badger pins you to the wall and you can't do anything.

Tbh, I might be re-opening a can of worms but I can't help but think the simplest solutions are often the best ones. Instead of modifying the tooltip blurb, why not just gate the content behind a forced save point? That way nobody can complain of not reading it, skipping past the button quickly, or the tooltip not being clear enough. I don't think anyone can claim outrage if they skip over an explicit option to save before the ambush encounter. Though I'm not sure how easy it is to code that so it might not be possible to implement.


Also, why was the "Turning the Tables" Dr. Badger expansion written by JimT rejected? I remembered reading through the GDoc and it seemed decent. Ofc it was a much different situation back then what with the hostility and sentiment the player base was directing at Dr. Badger but, was there any specific reason why it was rejected? Perhaps players felt uncomfortable with the expansion since it changes her backstory to become more sympathetic rather than that damned badger who bimbofied you?


For curiosity's sake, was Dr. Badger a commissioned character? Her design being based off of a fursona was a revelation to me, but in hindsight, not surprising.

Do not underestimate the stupidity of people on the internet; there are always going to be complaints.

Because Fenoxo doesn't wanna...  :smugdog:

Not just based on, she is the fursona.
