'what should I pick'

As Noah evaluated the available traits, he carefully weighed the potential benefits of each one and considered how they aligned with his immediate needs and long-term goals. While all the traits offered unique advantages, he ultimately decided not to pick certain ones for specific reasons:

Night Watcher: Although improved visibility during the night and reduced penalties in low-light conditions seemed appealing, Noah recognized that his current priority was surviving the harsh conditions of the wasteland during the day. He understood that nighttime brought its own set of dangers and challenges, but at this stage, he needed traits that directly addressed the threats he faced while exploring the post-apocalyptic world during daylight hours.

Iron Stomach: Reducing the chance of getting sick from questionable food or water was undoubtedly valuable, but Noah believed that his current focus should be on acquiring skills that enhanced his combat abilities and situational awareness. While food and water safety were essential, he felt that other traits aligned better with his immediate need for survival against zombies and hostile creatures.

Quick Reflexes: Noah decided not to pick the "Quick Reflexes" trait because he prioritized enhancing his overall survival in the wasteland with traits like "Survivor's Instinct." He believed in maintaining a balanced skill set and investing in long-term growth with the "Genius" trait for additional perk points and experience gain.

Zombie Hunter: Although increasing damage against zombies and improving accuracy when targeting their weak points sounded advantageous, Noah believed that his current skill set was better served by traits that improved his overall survival capabilities. He recognized that being a formidable zombie hunter might be helpful, but he sought a more well-rounded approach to face the varied threats of the wasteland.

Medicinal Expert: Enhanced healing abilities and effectiveness in treating injuries and infections could undoubtedly be beneficial. However, Noah knew that the ability to avoid injuries and infections in the first place through improved situational awareness and reflexes might be more crucial in the perilous wasteland.

Scavenger: While the ability to find valuable items in abandoned structures and debris sounded advantageous for survival, Noah felt that he could acquire scavenging skills through experience and practice. He prioritized traits that directly impacted his immediate combat prowess and ability to navigate the hostile world.

Wilderness Expert: Though increased foraging and gathering skills and a better chance to find food and resources in the wild were valuable, Noah believed that his immediate survival depended more on traits that honed his combat abilities and situational awareness.

Adaptability: Faster adaptation to changing weather conditions and reduced penalties from extreme temperatures seemed useful for long-term survival. However, Noah prioritized traits that provided immediate advantages in combat situations and hostile encounters.

Feeling a sense of urgency and determination to bolster his chances of survival, Noah makes his selections from the available traits. After careful consideration, he decides to go with the following two traits:

Survivor's Instinct: Noah understands the critical importance of detecting nearby threats in the wasteland. This trait will provide him with enhanced awareness of potential dangers, allowing him to stay alert and avoid potential ambushes. By honing his instinct, he can better navigate the hostile environment and make informed decisions to keep himself and his companions safe.

Genius: Noah recognized the long-term value of the "Genius" trait. The ability to gain an additional perk point when leveling up to multiples of 4 and an increased experience gain by 10% would provide significant advantages in the future. By choosing this trait, he was investing in his growth and potential to unlock more powerful abilities as he progressed through higher levels.

Noah felt confident in his choices. By selecting the "Genius" trait, he was setting himself up for future advancements and additional perks as he leveled up. Simultaneously, the "Survivor's Instinct" trait would immediately improve his situational awareness and help him navigate the harsh world they currently faced.
