Character Names

[APhoenixSoaring]

What would you name your character?
Particularly with NPCs being able to pronounce your character's name?

I just name it after myself and call it a day, the NPCs will just have to cope with saying Captain Angela.

Same here. I will either call myself Hellbishop, Hell or Arturo. I always like to roleplay as much of myself in games anyway while taking into account the super power angle of video games.

You don't have to ask us for permission. Thankfully, this is a single player game and I don't have to see or deal with dumb names running around. Name your character whatever you like, it affects nobody.

your opinion is extremely important to me, no really.

Master of the Universe sounds better. Let robot Vasko call me that. Adolf Lord of the Universe, yes my master.

While you and a few others have made this suggestion that I have seen, it never gets old. Will be great when your robot talks to you and uses your name. So many good options!

Have they said anywhere that "NPCs" can say our character's name? I only remember Todd saying that Vasco can. Vasco isn't really "NPCs".

Sorry to nitpick, but this thread might be a little misleading to someone who isn't closely following the game. Or someone should correct me if they have indeed said that multiple NPCs can say our character's name.

And do we know anything about how it works? Is it the old fashioned "We recorded 1000 names he can say."? Or is it something fancier, like AI that can say pretty much anything we put in there? Just sayin'... I don't wanna see a bunch of Biggus Dickus's all disappointed and stuff.

One of the follower NPCs called Todd "Captain Howard" IIRC.
Let me check if I can find that scene in the presentation video...
