The first thing we'll do when Starfield launches on September 6 is create our characters, and the most interesting part of Starfield's character creation system is traits. From what we've seen so far, traits look like a fun way to add some complexity to your character in a way that skills and perks can't.
Starfield traits are similar to the trait system found in Fallout: New Vegas. Traits are like perks, but instead of being a simple bonus to some aspect of your character, each trait has both a positive and a negative effect. You need to carefully weigh the pros and cons of each trait before you choose it. On the plus side, there's a way to remove a trait in Starfield if you decide you don't like it.
