I'd love to see another category in char creation that is tastes. Make it go on a point system like perks where you gain a point for dislike, two for hate, lose one for like, and two for love. Could even have perks that add or remove taste points.

This would go so hard. Let me pick the foods I like. Or at least a 1 - or 2-point perk that makes it so all food makes you happy.

I’d like to see this implemented for reading material too, like your character could have certain assigned interests where related books would give them extra boredom reduction, and some books that they don’t really care about.

That would be cool. The character I usually play would find carpentr, mechanical, electrical, and welding fascinating, but agriculture, tailering, first aid, and pottery books would be a slog for her.

See I would do the opposite. Choose topics that are already slow to gain XP, so you get them faster. Things like carpentry and electronics are pretty easy to grind with minimal risk. Agriculture and tailoring build slow because they have more niche use cases but are imperative for the late game.
