Default Re: Frustration (balance)

While I realize this thread is about the balance between various SE IV game "components", I feel it is also necessary when weighing them to take into consideration the "Play Style" of the Human Players.
By Play Style I mean:
The over all nature of the choices a human player makes. Some players seem to promote a "conservative" play style, others a more risk taking aproach. I know I choose racial traits that compliment my thought process and priorities. (I won't say what they are as to avoid tipping my hand to the Honorable Growltigga). I expect others do as well. Exploiting these traits is then up to me. If I find I can't do it, I take my beating and try a different approach in the next game. "Live and Learn, or Crash and Burn"
To sum up: Some of the racial traits that may seem unbalanced are balanced by the play style of the Human Player. I have now idea how the Computer Players handle it.
I hope this makes sense. If not, please let me know.
