Characters with the “Brawler” trait
Unlike other online role-playing games, Rimworld does not feature a fictional Geneva Convention. This makes it easier for players to commit terrible crimes without getting the GC’s approval. However, the fact that players can commit terrible crimes without any repercussions is part of the game’s war crime reputation. The ideolgies of a character’s faction will also affect how they react to crimes committed.
A character with the “Brawler” trait is more proficient at melee combat and suffers mood penalties when forced to carry ranged weapons. The “Misandrist” trait, on the other hand, affects colonists who dislike men. However, male colonists with this trait are rare. Characters with the “Brawler” trait can die of old age.
While defending a crashed shuttle, the “Brawler” trait can be fatal for the character. A character with the “Brawler” trait can also die of old age if they die while working on quests. This trait prevents psychic users from using their powers during quests. Sappers have high digging ability, and can break defensive walls. Those who die from old age are unlikely to be able to recover their body from the effects of aging.
If the player chooses to build a spaceship, they can use AI Personas to help them survive in the game. The AI Persona can act in the interests of the colonists. However, other AI Personas are hostile and unpredictable. They can even kill their crew. The game also features a fiction primer that details the planets and technology.
Characters with the “Blood Purist” trait
While cybernetics are a cruel and unforgiving force, they don’t necessarily eat the soul. Characters with the Body Purist trait suffer from mood penalties when they are augmented with bionic body parts. At six bionic body parts, their mood penalty is -35. They also have a lower opinion of other bionic colonists, even though they have Ideology.
People with the Blood Purist trait are prone to dying of old age. The trait’s negative effects can be mitigated by making them a vegetarian or vegan. Characters with the trait can eat corpses, but doing so negatively affects their moods. This trait is not uncommon in frozen biomes. Characters with this trait are not immune to the effects of psychic phenomena and attacks, however they will experience a minor morale penalty if they use psychic abilities.
The game’s faction relations are relatively easy to handle. You can attack a faction as much as you want, but you can also gift them. The easiest way to give gifts is by loading up cargo pods. Just make sure to use a pod launcher to do so. You can also make a character with this trait permanently flatten their malus and make them prone to death.
In addition to combating mechanoids, players can use AI. Archotechs are godlike AIs. Most human civilizations don’t understand their intentions and morals. Some Archotechs send colonists on their way, while others make them become old and degenerate. The AI can also act in their own interests, although it’s important to keep in mind that these AI Personas can act in spite of their own interests.
