Hot and Powerful Trait
SPOILERS FOR ALL CHAPTERS OF SCARLET HOLLOW!!!
I think the Hot and Powerful trait is an underrated combination in Scarlet Hollow. During my first playthrough I chose these two and they carried me all the way to chapter 4. It took me a second playthrough to realize so many characters could die and that I only got to save as many people as I did thanks to those traits.
The powerful trait allows you to save both Gretchen and Duke during episode 1. On episode 2 you can save all the children, but Rosalina will lose her leg. Everyone's life is safe on episode 3, and the hot trait allows you to tame Reese. You have no advantage on the farm during episode 5, but you do have it when confronting Sybil. Having the powerful allows you to save Kaneeka even if you previously sacrificed years of your life in episode 3 (though that option was not available when episode 5 just released). Besides, the game is really funny when you are hot and strong.
This also makes a very peculiar playthrough, especially if is a first, as you don't realize the actual dangers of the town until episode 5. It was a personal shock for me when I found myself staring at the dead cop on the farm, as that was the first dead person I encountered in my playthrough, only for it to be followed by the death of another cop, a baby, and Julius. Not only that, but at that time the powerful trait had not received its buffs, so I also lost Kaneeka since my body was old and weak.
Anyways, I wanted to know other people's thoughts on this. Also, what's your favorite combo in Scarlet Hollow and why?
