Talk:Mary Sue Test/@comment-24019647-20150723055026

I think this test is a great idea, but I also don't think it accounts enough for characters who earn things or have well thought-out history pertaining to certain things.

I also think the de-Sueifiers are far too low in number and in effect.

My biggest problem with this test, however, is the listing of depression as a +2 modifier. Depression is a serious illness which can and does ruin and end lives. It is not "cool" or "awesome", and if roleplayed correctly should be a serious drawback for a character.

Furthermore, I don't think any advanced Descriptive Gameplay or Themeplay character is going to get a score under 50 on it, ever. Perhaps there should be alternate tests for characters in different roleplay styles.
