I'm a little confused by the part about skills in the description, particularly the "retaining the nine from the previous game" part. I don't remember The Rose of Segunda having any skills.
It means the nine personality traits as defined by the three choices early in The Rose of Segunda. They were, as I recall, "Scholarly, Roguish, or Slovenly", "Cunning, Witty, or Diplomatic", and "Commanding, Strong, or Lecherous".
Ah, I never even knew those existed in Rose. That puts those early choices in a much different light. Like with the very first choice, I always thought that by removing the whiskey, I was keeping the arithmetic book, making Iolanthe smarter, but it seems I was doing the opposite.
