Just in case someone wants to add the vendors, here are their names/races. I was considering adding them myself, but it's 1:30 in the morning where I am.

Dr. Sara Castle - human: Medical / Cyberware vendor

Aljernon - elf: Magic vendor

David Fry II - dwarf: Matrix vendor

Theodore "Buster" Gruberman - ork: Weapons vendor

Eric Mersmann - ork: Armor vendor

Half the characters have spoilers in their descriptions, which is not allowed per the Spoiler Policy. I'd fix it myself, but I still haven't gotten around to playing the game, so I don't really want to dive that much into the page.

How do you propose hiding critical details that are truly spoilers? Characters whose very existence might be spoilers?

Well, that's what the walking spoiler folder is, surely?

Also, I think the consensus is that character pages are spoilers by default. I could be wrong though.

And let's be frank-a few spoilers in the subject lines of the people who are spoilers is probably okay. I'm going to ask for the consensus on this first before I edit, though.

^^ The consensus is not that character pages are spoilers by default. You have to be careful around them, yes, but that's not the same as spoilers off.

One thing I've found that works for pure spoiler characters is to put every character in their own folder, and have the spoiler character's folder name tagged, but nothing else. So it's easy to see "Okay, this guy's mere existence is a spoiler, I should avoid him if I haven't finished the game."

And you hide critical details in character descriptions...by not putting them in the description. You can describe the guy who turns out to be the murderer by just skipping the fact that he's the murderer.
