More space for character bios?

[krj12]

It's fairly rare when I feel the need to do a character bio,  but on my last character I just had to.  :)
 

I felt very inhibited with what I could write, and had to do a truncated version of my intent.

I think the current limit is just over 1000 characters .... would be nice if this could be bumped to 1500 or 2000.

Put in a tinyurl or something?  Be more concise with your bio and save a few text files that you can easily copy and paste into in-game emails, if someone wants to know more?  *shrugs*

I am pretty sure there are issues with expanding it, I think the SCoRE team tried it and it broke shit.

 

That said, I am 1000% for more space.

I wonder, if instead of adding "more space" in the existing bio page, if they could add like another page or 2.  Perhaps it's like a 65536 character limit issue or something...

If I remember correctly the Legacy Dev team tried as well and it was a limitation on the UI itself, the window itself is limited and when they attempted to increase text limit it broke the UI. Likely similar to the experience @Zolgar mentioned above.

IMO:

The in-game space is mostly for blurbs, summaries, teasers.  Stuff to get attention, not full dossiers.  There are various sites, like the old Virtueverse*, to put up all the details.

 

* I'm sure there are modern successors, either in the works or already existent.
