I realize this is in game, but it's often handy to be able to look at while not playing in order to plan the building of your main character or companions (though I have only seen a few companions gain trait points - ex Francois).  I've listed the traits first by how they're listed ingame first and then by category like how they're listed by the devs in their game manual.
