The basics
This is a 2da file which is used as a referance when setting up or editing feat.2da (column number 19 in the file). The catagories inform the game AI how to use the feat appropriatly. There are three different versions (one for the original game and one for each expansion pack), which all have been updated with 1.69. The id number is what is seen in the feat file. (see example of the first few lines from a feat.2da below for location)
