Possible to change characters name

[Charmd]

Ok I did something silly, I spent ages customising my character just to the way I liked it but totally forgot to change the name. Have since started the game and now realised this, is there a way once you begin the story to change your name? If not is this something you could possibly include, happy to pay a cost to change my name in game lol.

I don't think there's a way to change character names in game at the moment, just the name of your Workshop. But yeah, it would be nice to pay a little fee if you find out you're not vibing with your character's name

That would be lovely if we could change our names at the town hall.

I would also SUPER love it if we could save our characters (kind of like the Sims gallery), so when we start a new game, we can use one we've made already if we really like it.

The Builder enters City Hall shortly after the first appearance of Logan to trigger the dialogue sequence. Inside, the builder sees acting Mayor Matilda ( and I suppose Mi'an since she's our speech-box ).

Mi'an could express some worry regarding the train attack over the safety of her family not living in Sandrock. Matilda offers some platitude of taking the situation seriously and assurances that the outlaw will be caught.

Ultimately, the offer is made if the Builder ( or anyone ) is concerned that Logan might seek some personal vengeance against their families, City Hall can change their name for a fee at the register.

( I'd love to hear some other ideas as to how it could be implemented in game, or if it should have a story reason at all. )

I like those ideas in this thread, very organic implementation. Honestly I'd even be alright with a system like Fallout:NV where they ask rather bluntly in the very early parts of the game "Would you like to keep this name/appearance?" and give you one last chance to change. In Sandrock, this could happen when you go to sleep after your second day, idk. This is kind of a minor gripe though, I'm pleased with the game so far and cant wait to see what the games becomes with future updates!

I've almost forgotten to change my name, but haven't yet. Maybe thats something they can add in, a name change. I mean you can change your pet name, and workshop. I don't see why you can't change your builders name. It would be funny, imagine if they added in responses like when you get a new haircut. "Hey, so and so, oh oops, you changed your name, forgot about that."

If you can't get it changed at city hall, maybe you could get it from the Mysterious man, could be like a name tag you would put on your shirt or something. xD

My Xbox tag is above my head and it’s driving me crazy. I’m guessing there’s nothing I can do about it?

I didn't even know it could show up for you. Or are you playing online? Since I don't notice that happening in singleplayer.

Here is a mod that open a full character edit UI including name change by pressing a hotkey.
