That's not to say I would be a push over; I would enforce things if people were gaining a benefit from it, but I generally prefer that minor quirks be roleplayed willingly.

GURPS has you covered. If it's a minor thing that they're expected to roleplay but can ignore when it would be really harmful, it's a Quirk and they get 1 point for it. My characters tend to have Quirk versions of full-blown Disadvantages a lot, and I often don't come anywhere near the campaign Disadvantage limit because I like my free will.
