See, i always liked this thing in theory, but hated it in practice. it sounds cool, realistic and more fun to play. but in reality it becomes a game of "i dont want that negative effect so i will never raise this stat and avoid any part of game that requires it". So in the end this results in players being mediocre middle of the run instead of creating characters specifically to their liking.
