"Before I change things, can I get some help and advice." Batman asked the voice as he took a moment to plan using the advantages he was being given.
"Help screen and tutorial are active." answered the voice, which continued, "Pause using the phone and select the help screen to activate."
He did that, looking at the result. There were attributes. Strength, Perception, Endurance, Dexterity, Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma and Luck. The Natural Maximum Value is 100. He was in the high nineties for most of them. However certain perks, equipment and other elements can raise it beyond 100. Just like faults, curse/malfuctioning equipment and so on could lower them. Skills were on a leveling system, which could provide perks and other benefits on attributes and other skills and so on. Then there were the Rep points. You could get Rep bonuses or penalties for individuals and groups.
"For instant, I have a +90% Rep bonus when dealing with members of the Batfamily, +75% Bonus to the Justice League and a -75% with most of the Arkham Asylum rogues as well as Criminal underworld figures. Excepts are those like Catwoman and to a lesser extent Poison Ivy given a Sexual Tension perk bonus. Major for Catwoman and lesser for Ivy. Or The Riddler due to a Mutual Respect perk bonus.
Skill... Chemistry, for an example, gives me a bonus for making and understanding chemical formulas. Which include reverse engineering such chemicals. Faults... I have the Mission Above All Else which lowers my rep with people and makes me unable to see things outside my mission to eliminate crime. Which can lower skills and attributes checks on those occasions. Class... Dark Knight/Billionaire Playboy. Bonuses like Money is a Superpower )billionaire Playboy) and Grinding Quest (Dark Knight), the former gives me money and resources to create what I need with out a major threat of drain while the latter cause my natural attributes to be higher then normal and adds access to a massive amount of skills. It also adds faults like Mission Above All Else (Dark Knight) and Playboy Who Cried Wolf (Billionaire Playboy) which causes people to distrust or look down on Bruce Wayne if they don't know him personally." scanning the data and gaining an understanding of them, he made plans.
"First to get ride of many of the faults... but many of them cost a lot of points to remove. Going back to the help screen for tips... I can replace Faults for other lesser Faults or even Mixed Blessings which have positive along with Negative effects. Replace the Mission Above All Else with Intense Obsession. Neutral Rep but a chance to be oblivious to things outside my obsession to remove crime. Replace Playboy Who Cried Wolf with A Very Silly Serious Man, which allows more trust and respect but also allows people to see strange behaviour are just normal. Took some points, but less then removing the Faults. Working like that, I have keep most of my points and strength my game. Most of my Attributes are fine and I can train them up to peak human or add bonuses.
I can't mod people, but I can invite people into my 'Party' where they become player characters and can mod themselves. But I have to have a certain requirements first. Like certain skills, attributes, perks and/or completed quests. There is also a chance for multiple methods of recruitment. You might need one hundred rep or to complete a recruitment quest.
Question, does this new life play out like my last one? Save for the sex involved."
"Game events will likely be randomize but will usually have major elements duplicated. Duplication will be more common in past or during specialized missions. All others will be unpredictable to aid in storyline of the game."
Batman nodded and looked at what he had. He had minimized his weakness, his attributes were find and since he was starting as a level ten Batman/Bruce Wayne he could collect more points as he leveled up to improve them, and so he had some options. Buy more perks, by more equipment, buy more skills, buy more rep points with people or groups, or even unlock some characters as members of his party. Except that last option took a lot of points depending on the character, his rep with them and other elements. He stood back and decides to...
