Can't name myself anything other than [NL] Bendo Olo

[Anix]

The game renames my character to Bendo Olo no matter what I try. If I go into the ShowRaceMenu and name myself Paul and confirm as soon as I check my character or look at the save it just shows up as [NL] Bendo Olo

I have an official copy but from what I have read, one of the the cracked versions of the game only allows that name. Someone revealed themself ;)

Mod issue.

Lol, you're using a mod that was written for someone's character(?), they uploaded it and they didn't change it. 😄 Somethiing like that, anyway. I did notice it in a mod description, when the author apologised but said he didn't know how to change it - something like that. I chose not to use it, but I can't remember which mod it was.

EDIT: I hunted for the mod where I noticed this, which I knew was an early one, and it's Featherlight Items. The author said, on the 23rd "I figured it out! Will be updating it shortly. My xEdit was still pointing at the original oblivion data folder..." Some other mods had the same thing happen.

I know some mods on Nexus have that issue with the NL but not that specific name.

Here is the fix though I cannot vouch if it does work or not. Still don't have the time RL to actually sit down and play yet today.

Bendu Olo is the default name given to the player character, and a reference to the Colovian king of Anvil during the First Era. If this is actually an issue caused by cracked versions I cannot find confirmation of however.

Indeed, the default used as an initial placeholder in the code during development. In fact... I think its been that way since Arena.

Sorry to Necro but I've run into this too. Tried the mod Malus mentioned and while it gets rid of the NL tag but I still can't change the name

Already tried that unfortunately. It'll default back to Bendu Olo. It's all good now, figured out it was one of my mods misbehaving.
