No random starting knights?

[Hudston]

Having just started a new playthrough on a higher difficulty, I was a little disappointed to find that my starting knights had the same names as the ones that carried me through my first run. They seem to have everything else randomised just not their names which seems like a missed opportunity considering the huge list of voiced surnames in the game.

It's a minor nitpick that might be more of a personal preference than a problem, but one of my favourite parts of XCOM style games is each run having it's own cast of characters and it doesn't feel the same to me to just rename them myself.

Especially since they shout their own names pretty commonly when you select them in combat. Feels pointless to rename them.

Little Tip , in the Barracks tab , click on your knight . You will find the menu with loadout ability's ect . than click on character ( not sure but something like that )
Here you can give him a new first name , change the last and customize a bunch of armor details .

Yeah random would be better but I would just customize and change everything on a new start.

Yeah you only get to pick there last name from a list.

If I remember my Space Marine lore, there last names are not their actual last names but the name of Space Marine they inherited their gene seed from
