Re: The Socially Awkward Trait Is a Bit Excessive...
As someone that is about as socially awkward as can be in real life, and as someone that struggles horribly with social anxiety, that trait doesn't seem excessive at all. I don't have friends, can't keep the few I do make, because it's extremely hard to talk to people and for me even online text can be a challenge. I don't expect most people to understand, but for some of us this trait isn't really that excessive at all.
For a video game, however, yes I agree that it is. I can't imagine that anyone playing this game would want a character that is failing interactions that often. I certainly wouldn't, because I personally play this game to escape my reality and something like this would just be an awful reminder of how things are. So as someone that struggles with this in real life, this trait just does not sound fun to have because it certainly isn't fun in the real world.
