Character Name
Just bought the game... Can’t even name my character. Tav? Seriously? What the hell? I did not realize the game was THAT buggy. In early access. This should be the simplest thing to implement correctly.

How do you bypass this stupid bug? When I try to type I only hear a weird sound and if I delete the default name the window just remains empty. Exiting to the main menu and restarting does not work,

I haven't had any issues naming my character.

Me neither. Have you tried clicking your mouse over the name? That should remove Tav. Works for me.

Yes, I did try. After a million attempts I just gave up. Bugged to nine hells.

Join the Tav club. Anyways I think I remember there was a bug once on character selection when trying to select druid which would not let you change name. I think the fix was to pic another class and change name then switch back to druid.

Oh great, thanks. I created a Drow fighter named Tav 🤮
Now just exploring the tutorial “ship” to see how basic things work. I can’t believe that they managed to create such a terrible, clunky interface. Plus a Mute protagonist, crazy camera — can’t even see the opponents... what year is it?

The combat “tutorial” is a joke. So is combat itself.

So far I am very much disappointed.

Why do you even bought an early access when you don't like bugs and weird ♥♥♥♥♥. :steambored:

I'm pretty sure s/he's just trolling at this point. I mean, there is no naming bug in the first place.

No naming bug? Really? I think it is you who is trolling now.
Not only the name is bugged but camera as well. I have to save-reload after every combat encounter and interaction because the camera freezes and refuses to follow.

This is worse than alpha.

I could not stand playing with a Drow named Tav so I eventually started a new game.
I am really grateful for the advice — to name other character first and then switch to the one I want. It worked. Also, no more loud weird sound when I tried to type or use spacebar.

Now I have a properly named Drow thief. That allowed me to ditch the vampire fellow, thanks Llolth. He and Gale are permanently banned to the campsite, never to be picked again, although, I do regret not being able to have a 6 people party, like in a proper Baldur’s Gate game. However, since it is not even remotely BG anyway and just a DnD game, I can live with that.
Once again, thanks for the tip.
