There's one thing that really bothers me in most RPGs...

That's really hard to address, nowdays with the voiced AI we have that can be a reality pretty easily... if the voice actors agree with using their voice for that, but as that can open a can of worms to using their voices against themselves so voice actors are not needed anymore because of AI replacing them, that may not happen either.

Testing some of the Forza Horizons these days, 3 I think, they allowed me to pick my name, Victor, from a list and they are calling me that by voice, but that's because it was listed there and I'm sure BraLoD wouldn't work at all lol.

I don't remember what game it was, I think it was one of the GRID games, that used a similar system, where I could choose "Alex" from a list.

But in RPGs it's really weird, like, imagine being thrown in a whole world where no people call you by your name. I can't fully immerse myself like that.

Yes the codemasters racing games you could pick a name to be called. Forza Horizon also does this.

Difference is that in those games they have only one person use the name, your race engineer on the radio etc. So they only get one voice actor to go through recording all the names.

In an RPG they'd need to have the voice actor for every character that says your name record all possible names. It's just not really feasible without using AI to do it.
