I understand that at character creation you get 1 point in all 4 virtues, and then you must spend an additional 5 points. This means you will have at least one virtue with a score higher than 2. (A lower score means a lower chance of having to spend limited willpower points to RP your character how you see fit. willpower also fuels your super powers.)
In other words, mandatory "RP GOLD" mechanic. Not optional. When I asked, I was told there is no way in the game system to bypass or limit the Limit Break bar. Your only option for diminishing the effects of this mechanic is to create a cleverly worded custom Virtue Flaw that allows flexibility for how you RP your character's regularly scheduled psychotic meltdown.
