Traits are perks in Starfield that give players a mix of pros and cons to make their gameplay experiences different from each other. These traits are not really mandatory to have for every character, though it is possible to remove them permanently if the player wishes to do so.
Read ahead as we go through all the methods of removing the different traits in Starfield.
Getting Traits in Starfield
Traits can be chosen during the character creation section at the start of the game. Players can select up to three traits for their characters, or they can also decide to go without a trait.
How to Remove Traits in Starfield
Traits can also be removed from characters; however, once a trait has been removed, it can no longer be regained. Additional traits cannot be added beyond the character customization section as well.
Each trait can be removed in its own different way, which mainly has something to do with the nature of their perks.
Removing the Alien DNA trait
To remove the Alien DNA trait, you can go to any Reliant Medical facility and talk to a doctor to request the reversal of the experiment for 10,000 credits.
Removing the Dream Home trait
