| Summary | 0000234: Personality traits contradict mental attributes | ||||
| Description | I had a dwarf spawn with "next to no willpower" in the paragraph immediately above her likes and dislikes, and "great willpower" in the paragraph immediately following. Whatever is creating those personality traits isn't cross-checking. | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | I don't think you can reproduce it deliberately, but no doubt it'll happen again with enough random dwarf spawns will. | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

|
|
a dwarf on embark: "She has a lot of willpower ... lousy creativity" "She is often nervous... She is incredibly creative" Isn't that a direct contradiction? I have a screen capture if useful. |
|
|
I've started checking through a lot of dwarfs in my games, and what I find is usually uncanny correlation between the two paragraphs. Keep in mind that they are not describing the same things, one covers intellectual skills, while the other covers personality. It is probably a matter of poor word choice for descriptors, rather than a lack of cross-checking. |
|
|
I can see lightman's example as possibly making sense: the dwarf is incredibly creative (she writes a lot of emo poetry) but her creativity is lousy (the poetry sucks). But I just don't think my example can work no matter how you extend the definition of willpower. If willpower in EITHER sense governs how the dwarf reacts to certain in-game situations, I want to know whether she's strong or weak in that regard. |

|
"He has... a large deficit of willpower." "He possesses great willpower." Same dwarf. |

Is this bug still relevant after the personality rewrite? |
