I needed precise control over my IMP char so it annoyed me that I couldn't figure out what all the quiz questions gave you. I mean, it's funny a few times, then you just wanna know what the hell those questions mean... JA2 has the best inventory system I've seen in an RPG, a shame it doesn't have the best character creation system. </p> <p> Anyway, after some looking around on the Net I found the JA2 source code and started looking around. I found the function responsible for generating your IMP char and started looking thru it (it was basically one big switch statement). </p> <p> Note that personalities and attitudes don't do jack shit in the game, I am just including them for the sake of being a retarded pedant. </p> <table> <tr class="table_header"><td>Q</td><td>A1</td><td>A2</td><td>A3</td><td>A4</td><td>A5</td><td>A6</td><td>A7</td><td>A8</td></tr> <tr class="table_alt1"> <td>1</td> <td>Martial Arts (trait) if male, Ambidextrous (trait) if female</td> <td>Loner (attitude)</td> <td>Hand to Hand (trait)</td> <td>Lockpicking (trait)</td> <td>Throwing (trait)</td> <td>Optimist (attitude)</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr class="table_alt2"> <td>2</td> <td>Teaching (trait)</td> <td>Stealthy (trait)</td> <td>Psycho (personality)</td> <td>Friendly (attitude)</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr class="table_alt1"> <td>3</td> <td>Lockpicking (trait)</td> <td>Arrogant (attitude)</td> <td>Stealthy (trait)</td> <td>Normal (attitude)</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr class="table_alt2"> <td>4</td> <td>Automatic Weapons (trait)</td> <td>Friendly (attitude)</td> <td>Normal (attitude)</td> <td>Asshole (attitude)</td> <td>Loner (attitude)</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr class="table_alt1"> <td>5</td> <td>Coward (attitude)</td> <td>none</td> <td>Aggressive (attitude)</td> <td>none</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr class="table_alt2"> <td>6</td> <td>Coward (attitude)</td> <td>Night Ops (trait)</td> <td>Claustrophobic (personality)</td> <td>none</td> <td>none</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr class="table_alt1"> <td>7</td> <td>Electronics (trait)</td> <td>Knifing (trait)</td> <td>Night Ops (trait)</td> <td>none</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr class="table_alt2"> <td>8</td> <td>Ambidextrous (trait)</td> <td>none</td> <td>Optimist (attitude)</td> <td>Psycho (personality)</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr class="table_alt1"> <td>9</td> <td>Forgetful (personality)</td> <td>none</td> <td>Pessimist (attitude)</td> <td>Nervous (personality)</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr class="table_alt2"> <td>10</td> <td>none</td> <td>Pessimist (attitude)</td> <td>Asshole (attitude)</td> <td>Nervous (personality)</td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> <td> </td> </tr> <tr class="table_alt1"> <td>11</td> <td>none</td> <td>Teaching (trait)</td> <td>Aggressive (attitude)</td> <td>Normal (attitude)</td> <td>???
