If you've just unlocked the bed and are planning on breeding, or if you're simply struggling to keep your subjects happy, a guide to helping you understand how traits work in The Elder Scrolls: Castles will be incredibly useful, so read on!
BEST & WORST Features in Elder Scrolls Castles Worldwide Launch
Traits play a major role in how well your subjects perform in The Elder Scrolls: Castles. A subject with good traits can speed up production, work better with others, and even win more battles. On the other hand, bad traits can slow down the efficiency of your castle, cause conflict, and make life in your castle a lot harder. But here's the thing: some "bad" traits can still be useful if you know how to manage them.
For example, the Bossy trait will make your employees unhappy, but it also increases productivity. If you’re willing to pair a Bossy employee with three Volatile employees (who thrive on anger), you can turn a bad situation into a productivity powerhouse. Just be careful; if you don’t handle Bossy topics well, it could cost you more in the long run.
On the other hand, the Considerate and Leader traits are great across the board. Considerate workers are great for places like the Kitchen of Loom, and Leaders can increase the happiness and productivity of everyone around them. If you assign four subjects with matching traits to the same workstation, you'll see a big boost in production, which will reduce resource production and item crafting time.
