Great suggestions for personality system.

Dear @Kjun

The inzoi should game integrate zodiac signs. This significantly diversifies the personality and behavioral system.My other Inzoi fellow players will agree with this. I’m eagerly awaiting your comments. For example your primary zodiac sign might be Scorpio, but your rising sign could be different. For example lion. So having two zodiac signs further differentiates behaviors. One can act according to the two different zodiac signs they possess. Ascendant - Wikipedia

I’d put it this way: the signs would be interesting from the perspective of combining them with the Tarot divination system and other mysticism.

They could supplement character traits and help build a horoscope for the day (or week) — for example, if the horoscope says “Geminis should be wary of setbacks this week” — representatives of that sign could stumble a little more often, be more likely to catch a cold, receive negative reactions in conversations, and so on. And of course, the reverse would apply — with predictions of “good luck.” They could succeed (or fail) in romantic and career interactions… An interesting field for imagination.

Only this should work provided the player is interested in their horoscope — then yes. And it’s preferable to use it specifically as a supplement to character traits, not their definition, like it was in Sims. That is, no “mean — therefore only a Scorpio” or “neat — exclusively a Virgo.”

The rising sign can come into play in this case. :+1:

I’ve been thinking lately about why we don’t have zodiac signs? I think they’re absolutely necessary. And I agree with Carnel, they shouldn’t determine character. They can be used additionally and at your discretion.

Sorry, I didn’t quite understand the meaning of your words because of the translation :smiling_face:

What does “rising sign” mean and in what case would it play a role?

I’m afraid I don’t know astrology well enough, so I’ll take your word for it :grin:

The question is really just whether it’ll be possible to convey such subtle character traits within the game mechanics? That’s a ton of work to create unique interactions that differ only very slightly. And it’s important that it doesn’t restrict the player: if I create a cheerful character, I should still be able to perform some sad actions (well, that’s just an example).

But luck and misfortune in the external world — the game could definitely implement that. Like how dreams sometimes work now, which can supposedly predict things, if I remember correctly (though it hasn’t happened with my characters yet).

I think adding zodiac signs would just make the personality system more complicated. But to be honest, I never had a good understanding of how zodiac signs related to personality.

Libra ; Romantic and charming and incredibly sociable, it’s hard not to like a Libra. However, their social pursuits leave them little time for more practical endeavors. You are an outgoing, fair, and social person right? :grin:

And I’m a Capricorn. But my “compatibility chart” is to be friends with all signs. I have the most diverse acquaintances, and we get along brilliantly :grin:

Capricorn ; Armed with a dry wit, Capricorns can often be found telling a good joke. Also being very practical, they strive for order and discipline.

Are you very active or mature?

Capricorn ; Those born during this period are mentally very strong, determined, and possess a free-spirited nature in all their actions. They are considered deep thinkers as well as hard workers. They succeed in all jobs requiring management and leadership skills. They neither hurt others nor allow themselves to be hurt. Their temperament can be considered somewhat melancholic. They are prone to being misunderstood by others. Capricorn men place great importance on friendship and carefully choose and select their friends. They have strict rules and are reluctant to deviate from them. Capricorn men value their freedom and dislike being controlled or restricted in relationships.

Do you agree with this article? Are these features available? :slight_smile:

I would hope that such things “playfulness” and other you put in your ideas be baked in the traits (including adding the traits that were removed a while ago now and some player never ever seen) to make personalities more anchored to those.

But I like the idea of having optional zodiac sign. Even a possibility of NOT picking one and having a zoi rely to “What’s your Zodiac sign?” by “I don’t believe in Astrology” when asked.

Not opposed to small little perks though.
Maybe not as much change as suggested, but maybe giving some urges based on it, and SLIGHTLY adding to the personalities would be nice.

Like get a serious bookworm sentinel, but they pick “Capricorn” and suddenly they like cleaning a bit more, and have a “Playful” personality to contrast large moments of always being dead serious.
If the “Nice” also means polite, then it could help some zoi stop being prickly.

TL;DR :
I like it, but I do not want it to be the defining to personality.
I really wish we’d get the missing Traits back and they would add personality to those.
Other systems should complement but not overrule or overtake our zoi’s Trait personalities.

There’s something to that :laughing:

But we should also ask the NON-Capricorns - what if one of them recognized themselves in this description too? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
