Villain Name Question (Possible Spoilers)

[Anba-sama]

So I am really enjoying this story except for the fact that I couldn't select the name Anathema. I wanted to, for the fallen hero, but it was greeted out. What options let you unlock that name option?

[Ghalren]

High daring in your stats menu I think

[gregrodgers95]

on my caution playthrough I let the press choose the name, the rest of the time I had Anathema avilable, so it could well be down to recklessness

[Anba-sama]

I chose Retribution my first time, but I'd like to choose Anathema on my second. Does anyone know how much daring you need?

[gregrodgers95]

I think that, with opposed stats, you usually just need over 50, but that is just a choiescript convention so theres never any guarantee

Press named my MC Puppetmaster on my frist playthrough, didin't even know that they can give you other names - wow. Looking forward how they will name me next time.

[Anba-sama]

I got Anathema my second playthrough, I tried a third to see if I could type in Sidestep as a name. I couldn't.

[CyanWraith]

If you have very high arrogance, 70 or above, i belive. You can chose to name yourself Sidestep, when you pick a name for your villian self.

Very worth it, if you are romancing Ortega, and visiting them at the hospital.

For adding ekstra flavour for the next game, romance Ortega with both MC and Puppet, while rivaling him/her with Sidestep the villian. That is gonna be fun.

[Anba-sama]

How do you get high arrogance?

[gregrodgers95]

the stat is daring. It is just a case of doing things that have a greater risk, like protecting the box at the start (sorry to not have more examples, I have a bad memory)

[Anba-sama]

I finally got the ability to make Sidestep a villain name, but I wasn't able to visit Ortega at the hospital. Maybe because this time I stole money?

[gregrodgers95]

I think you have to have a historical romance with them, judging by my experiences playing. Side not: it would be easier to talk about characters you set the gender of if there was a canon gender, so you could use proper pronouns

[Anba-sama]

I did have a past relationship with her. I chose all relationship flagged stuff, avoided a fight with Argent in the sewers (Got away), and couldn't visit her oddly enough. I think the one time I was able to visit her I destroyed hero displays instead of stealing the money. I wish I wrote ntoes down but that'd take so freaking long.

Just wondering but does anything special happen if you do choose Anathema as your name? Or Sidestep?

[Snowskeeper]

I was friends with Ortega, historically, not romantically involved with them; still had the opportunity to visit them in hospital. I was at 91% contemporary relationship with them, though.

I was romantic with Ortega as the MC and chose Sidestep. She became VERY interested in taking down Sidestep as it was personal for her. She saw it was a personal attack against her, because they used her old partners name.

There's also special comments if you choose Anathema as your name.
