Have you ever played an RPG where you can build your own character? Like Skyrim, or Fallout?
Well, those games have a character customization so you can "immerse" yourself into the gaming world. You can pick gender, physical appearance, clotches, and... Your name... And that's the point of this thread.
When I first played Skyrim, I thought for some time about the name of my character, so I could make the game more interesting. But there's a problem... I played it for about 12 hours, and not a single character called me by my name.
At first, they called me "Prisoner". Then, "Friend". Then, after a certain event, you will only be adressed as "Dragonborn". Seriously, this broke any kind of immersion I could have in the world of the game.
Yes, I know why that happens. Limitations. But man, I really wish they could find a solution for that, because I don't want to give my character a name, if no one is going to use it.
I think this destroys the immersion. If I'm not mistaken, South Park: The Stick of Truth threw a jab at that, when Cartman asks you for your name, and right after you input it, he starts calling you "Douchebag". I loved that.
But yeah, I hope we can see a fix for that in the near future.
