I just think if people want to buy it they'll put the research in. And if they don't they won't. Bios aren't really going to do anything but mislead or give people the wrong impressions in the worst case.

And you say "what about the best case?" well the best case there isn't really one. Like yes people wondering what a character does is sometimes a bad thing but sometimes that drives hype in the game itself when someone's excited to reveal all this cool stuff they found out about they character. I think you're actually removing some of the appeal of the game to some people when you do this.

I mean I guess you wanna say "we're too old for this shit now" and that may be true but then we're not too old to argue about if a character is gonna win some random fight scenario?

To me there are two ways to do this if you must do it

  1. Go very very very general. Put some very very generic "category" tags. Like "melee attacks" or "supportive magic" or "ranged attacks" that are entirely based on what the character does. I would not even put anything about their role like "tank" because that colors perceptions.
  2. Go very very ridiculous. Phrase everything like a pokedex entry and hype how this character is the absolute most incredible thing on earth. But it has to be so over the top that no one would consider taking it seriously in a battle argument or as a deciding reason to take a character-- basically just flavor but might have some vague truths people could look into.
I think the first option doesn't add enough and the second option adds more overhead than the benefit so I'd just scrap the section but if you've already got em all written for everyone then what can you do I guess.
