The idea of compulsions being double edged swords is really cool instead of just giving a middle finger to the player, years later this is still an awesome mod

Can kleptomaniac grant increased healing received?
If not i'm gonna go insane trying to figure out why Reynauld is getting healed more than others

To be fair the concept of a quirk being negative in itself is entirely subjective, after all, a kleptomaniac's compulsion isn't seen as detrimental to themselves when they are benefitting a ton from it.

If you can, you should make Kleptomania chances tied to their battle position. IE people in the front or back have the highest chance of triggering kleptomanic tendencies cus they will be the first or last to see the loot. But to compensate, each trigger gives them a small buff for the rest of the expedition.

Strongly disagree with commenter below. This makes the game *so* much better. Heroes feel a little more alive, a litte more flavoured, unique. High recommend. Just wish there was more compulsions tbh.

cool idea but removes the point of, *ahem*, negative quirks being, you know, negative. id love to be seeing these ideas implemented elsewhere, but unfortunately quirks are better off as being JUST positive or JUST negative, cool ideas tho! just doesnt fit the current vanilla style, im afraid

Magnificent, absolutely wonderful. My ray of light in the darkest. Nietzsche once said that a man who has a why can overcome almost any how, but a man who has Complex Compulsions can overcome any object less complex, and all this talk about why and how becomes irrelevant.

cool idea, but it basically makes "compulsions" really strong buffs instead of something bad, if it gave a single buff plus a debuff and the vanilla effect it would be really nice and I would subscribe, unfortunately it's not the case

Looks like an interesting mod, but does it make the game easier?

This is incredible. Bravo good sir.

Interestingly, I sometimes still get unmodified versions of the quirks but leaving the game and then reloading replaces them with the modified versions. Perhaps some other mod's re-adding the default versions?

Hmm, I got a flagellant with Guilty Conscience. Does the bonus it now gives to the Redeem heal also work on his self-heal?

This looks like a good idea! I've thought myself that the compulsion-type quirks should have some kind of mitigating effect, to make always getting rid of them a less obvious strategic choice. I'll give it a try and see how it works.

Is there anywhere I can find a list of modified quirks and their new effects?

Reynauld is a reference to real life crusader Raynald de Châtillon. He plundered Muslim caravans during a truce just for his profit. This arguably cost the Christians Jerusalem. He was reviled and executed on the spot when captured.

This is great! I wanted to try them before I said anything, but this is exactly what I wanted

Not op. Great mod!

Too op.

Negative quirks giving bonuses was too OP for me, but to each its own.

Does this mod make a hero with Dacnomania (Obsession with killing) target a random enemy sometimes?

I really enjoy this mod. Now much harder choice of which Quirks to remove. Thanks!

Does this increase the likelihood of getting these quirks? I started a new game and within 2 missions my roster had 6 manias.

wow

Good day,I would like to translate your mod into Russian,could you add me to your friends list to discuss this in more detail?

One thing I found interesting and annoying... The full text shows up on the character but when I book them in for "brain surgery" the mouseovers there are the original ones which sometimes makes it hard to remember which one I wanted to remove.

I'm still noticing the original, unmodified quirks showing up alongside yours. Is this an issue with my game or something that could be fixed in the mod? I love your work, it's been a lot of fun!

I love that the negative quirks are not sooo negative!!!
It makes playing the game more fun and you don't care so much about the negative quirks that the characters are more... humans. It would be fun if the positive quirks in turn were not so positive to balance (for example that "musical" has worse stats if it does not go with a jester or similar)
I love this mod Really. ^^

Although it does mean that a lot of negative quirks are no longer.... negative quirks... it is a hell of a lot of fun to use

Ay Reynauld is my B O I

reynauld my dude, steal all you want.

This is pretty cool

masterpiece

Would be nice if this left Nyphomania alone instead of turning it into a negative trait, especially since it messes up the text description for it to have a long set of coding.

As much as I hate Reynauld stealing my shit, if he works harder for it, then I say let him line his pockets.

This is a top tier mod, congrats! And thank you for making it

@Insufferable Smartypants , It's written in the first picture : "Prone to stealing items, but will fight harder as loot accumulates."

Wait... what about Reynauld? You can't tease me like that! What does Klepto do??? :-P

This is a really clever and truly flavorful mod. What a good job you did!

Question... is it normal for nymphomania to be a negitive quirk for this mod? I just ask because this is the only mod i have installed in a save file that does anything to quirks and I know it’s a positive quirk in game.

Just checked and I was wrong, holy water gives +15% stress recieved from being in your inventory

Demonomania gives virtue chance -100% and +33% DMG when below 80% HP. It also adds 15 stress when using holy water.

how would i find a detailed list of all the quirks added/changed in the mod? it actually kinda bothers me that i see the flavor text and not being able to see what some things actually do like the demonomania saying "virtue is unlikely, ire is inevitable" but doesn't say how much virtue chance (or affliction, either) is changed

awesome i love it!

Hey retrotheft, I'm making a mod that reworks all existing quirks in the game. Would you be ok if I included some of your versions the quirks? I tried my own versions of the compulsion quirks, but I think what you did is better xD. If you are ok with it I'll credit you in my mod's description.

Also I figured out a way to display flavor text above the buff description. You can include the original flavor text in the string table and below it write the buff/debuff text yourself. You can add various colors to descriptions too. It would look something like this

<entry id="str_quirk_description_natural_eye"><![CDATA[ some flavorful description here
type buffs
type debuffs
{colour_start|bleed} this text is red {colour_end} this text is not ]]></entry>

@weerax: good to hear! have fun :)

@retrotheft resubscribed and the tooltips are okay now, both on the vanilla chars and the modded heroes i have. I should really clean them up... i don't need Egomania on a houndmaster :D

asd

This is actually a really cool concept. Definitely favorited and going to try it soon!

aaand another one on my "mods to use when Marvin SEOs hella big mod comes out"

@Generic: I would love to do that, but I don't think it's possible in the game unfortunately. I had the same thought while developing it and couldn't figure out a way to do it. :(
