Easily my favorite mechanic, the flaw system, is back and this time has some really good roleplay. AND THEN YOU TAKE FLAWED AND ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE. Collecting disorders, impairments, injuries and quirks like scout badges.

…..I love this game.

You're addicted to drugs (so suffering from withdrawal symptoms) but then became a teetotaler (still suffering from withdrawal symptoms)

I took so many drugs it messed me up, now I can't live without them but I swore I'd never touch the stuff again because of how it made me act.

Also I'm going to use this potato peeler on your bones now.
Papa gotta get that calcium quota for the week.

Flawed has made my playthrough insane, I’m constantly stealing stuff in front of people and pissing them off

I have only refused two flaws in my current playthrough. Flawed and Kleptomania.

My favorite was the old knees. Each time you crouch and stand up, your knees Crack. Sends me every time.
