1.- INTRODUCTION ---------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
With the idea of giving more attention to the game, and to help anyone out
there willing to write a walkthrough here is my second FAQ for Traverse. This
time I cover the parameter changes caused by the initial questions, which let
you customize the main character, making him more powerful when using these
variations correctly.
I can't tell for sure if this is everything, while I checked everything and I
am pretty sure that the initial stats are random, I read the starting ques-
tions affect them... I don't know if this is totally true, and they have some
effect on the limitations of the random field of values.
*Please, mail me regarding any bug or useful info found*
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
2.- INFORMATION ----------------------------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Traverse - Starlight & Prairie ® Pandora Box/Banpresto - 1996
Traverse is one of those underrated and forgotten jewels that saw the light
on our beloved Super Famicom, known in America and Europe as Super Nintendo.
While the game may seem very simple at the start it actually has a deep
system with several features: skill-based characters, free scenario, a rather
large world to examine without restrictions, non-lineal quests, and a lot
more things, the game even has a marriage system.
If you have any question or suggestion feel free to mail me:

5.- INITIAL DETERMINATION ELEMENTS --------------------------------------
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTES: Although I've heard the birth date and others choices of the start
have an effect on your stats I can't confirm it, they are random, and hence
why I don't know how they are actually affected.
