Yes, I'm aware still exist in a sense (Its not hard to write down:
Attractive: He's cute as a button! or "She's got the Bad Girl appeal..."
) and cabut they are grouped under a more generic label and not set
apart and separately defined. That's more efficient space wise and more
flexible but some, myself some what included, feel that can cost
'flavor'. Its a subjective evaluation, so mileage will vary. It's not
game breaker for me, just a bit of nostalgia and some smirking from the
bruhaha the Outrage Brigade put up about 1st edition terminology.
On a related topic, could a character get a weakness for a certain
definition of Attractive, Distracting, etc? Like a character that's a
sucker for blondes or loves school girl uniforms, perhapa treating them
as the base Qualities even the subject doesn't have them or taking
effect if the do?
Kitchi Koo has Attractive x1 "Nekojin Kawaii!"
Peter Otaku has a Weakness for Catgirls so treats Kitchi has having
Attractive x2 and even if she didn't have it all, just being described
as a cat girl would make him relate to her mechanically as if she had
Attractive x1 (and possibly Distracting...)
