When NPCs are added back into the game it would be good to have different levels of pre-set relationships. There would be 4 traits for you to pick from. These would be: Jerk +4, Most survivors around your spawnpoint (and some places away from where you spawn) will dislike you. They are reluctant to join and have a higher chance of betraying you unless you prove yourself. New In Town +2, Only very few survivors will know you and will have a low relationship status with them Standard (Active if no other relationship traits are picked), Only some survivors around your spawnpoint (and some places away from where you spawn) will know you, the relationship status is randomised Well Known -6, Most survivors around your spawnpoint (and some places away from where you spawn) will like you. They are more likely to join and less likely to betray you (unless you be a dick to them)
