Remove misleading Attribute Descriptions

On the character overview there are well written (except for the 'you'-perspective in ooc context, maybe) descriptions on how they do affect the character.
Character Overview, 8 Essence wrote:You really have nothing to put against unnatural influences, even if you have the impression that there is something going on you don’t really like.
Unfortunately, most descriptions do not describe the actual ingame effects of these attributes (even the ones yet to be implemented) at all. They are quite misleading, actually. But there are very accurate descriptions on what the attributes do (and will do) in the character creation:

So, to keep it short:
Proposal: Remove the old (and wrong) attribute description from the character overview, put in the general description on what the attribute does.


Side Note: Giving people the chance to redo their characters attributes set in accordance to false descriptions, other than spending thousands of gold in the game or deleting the character, might be a nice move.

Thank you for bringing this up. I have hated these descriptions for a long time. While I like the not by the numbers theme of Illarion, we are making characters that we have to live with. We should know what we are getting into.

Very good observation and proposal! We should definitely use the accurate descriptions for the next issue of the account system.
