Questionable outcome of guardian event.

[Lessing]

I got this guardian event for my son. First of all, Magnus (my son) wasn't greedy until that event. So when I read this, I wonder "why the heck would he lose the greedy trait? he doesnt even have it".

Turns out, he just got it on the same day:

So this guardian event first gives him the greedy trait without even telling me, and a second later it pops up this dialog where I can lose greedy... err.

Now that choice that I highlighted makes no sense. I have a 40% to lose greedy (which I didnt even have until now). Why not instead have a 40% to get greedy, and don't add it before the dialog opens?

The real problem is the charitable trait tho. 50% chance sounds good. However, that never happens. I tested it 10+ times. Also, if it were to trigger, and I still HAVE greedy, because it was added before the dialog opened, how can I possibly have charitable AND greedy, since they're opposites?

What happens in 100% of my test cases is that Magnus loses greedy.

No. First the kid gets an event which makes him greedy.
Then you as the guardian get that event. You are being confronted with the kids nature which has just now come to show, so to speak.

I have often gotten charitable wards out of this event so I can assure you, it works.
Also you cannot have charitable AND greedy (or any vice x AND virtue x), since they're opposites. It's either or. They're opposites. They cancel each other out.

Eactly. So it's not possible to get charitable out of it because he is greedy already. 50% chance to add charitable... but he IS greedy at the moment of the decision. And the 40% option to lose greedy does not include giving him charitable. The 50% option needs to remove greedy and add charitable.

If you have the trait greedy and get another event which will give you charitable, greedy will disappear and you'll get charitable instead.

All right thanks, then I was just amazingly unlucky.
