How hard is it to program an RPG?
One of the hardest things you can program is an RPG. The hardest is an MMO. RPGs are system-heavy for sure, easy to really feel the fun drain from the project while building menu and inventory navigation systems (so much fun…). Not to be discouraging, but you can’t make a big ass rpg all by yourself.
What makes a good character in a RPG?
Alignment often doesn’t go far enough in answering these questions.

What do core traits do in a RPG?
Where the Primary Motivator describes the global drive of your character, the Core Traits inform how a character is likely to act in any given situation. They help define how a character sees the world and how they move within it.
What makes a good pm in a RPG?

What’s the best way to play a RPG?
In general, I’ve found it more interesting and playable to go deeper with one motivator rather than broader with more PMs. To protect the helpless, heal the sick, feed the hungry, etc. To build or make new, such as art, culture, invention, design,etc. To follow a person, government, order, religion, etc.
