The game is out to get you in more ways than just your characters’ quirks. If you’re new to Darkest Dungeon, just do your best. That is, of course, unless you’re playing above Normal mode.

It may seem like there’s a lot to remember about quirks, but you come across (and lose) so many characters that you come to memorize your favorites and lock them in, and hope for the best otherwise.

In this situation “Natural Swing” and its nice +5 ACC will be removed and instead you’ll have “The Yips” and its -5 ACC in that character’s negative quirk category instead. All of them are related to what a character will or will not do when in town, and often they make managing your characters’ stress relief more complicated than it needs to be. These “neutral” quirks are more negative than positive.

This list is self-explanatory, except for one bit: Quirks with an asterisk (*) next to their names have no negative counterpart to knock them off a character’s quirk list.
