NPCs call me by my real name!
« on: March 28, 2019, 04:40:27 PM »
Ok, so, obviously, there's something I'm missing.

All npcs ingame call me by my real name. That's immersion breaking to say the least, a privacy problem if people see that.

I thought it was because it was taking my username from nwnplayer.ini - no, that one is set to Dellis and isn't my real name.

How can I make NPCs stop being psychic and guessing my real name?

Geeze, talk about immersiveness.

What? Could you please send me or another dev a screenshot of this behavior?

Or did you perhaps enter your real name in the character name field?

You'll have it in your PM box in about 5 minutes. I won't post publicly due to privacy issues, I hope you understand.

I'm fairly positive I did not enter my real name in the character name field.

I'd feel pretty stupid if it was so, but a few screenshots of my character sheet will prove so.

EDIT: I have provided the screenshots, you'll find those in your IMs. Sorry for the delay, but weirdly an image upload server refused to upload my pictures.

I can only conclude my PC is possessed.

EDIT 2: The issue is solved. It had a very specific reason for happening, and that is that my name apparently is the same as... oh gods. I feel too stupid to write it. You'll have to guess.

If you have issues hosting images, discord does it instantly. Just make a new server, make it private to only you, drop your screen shots in the chat field, then share the link between the [ img ] code. That’s incredibly weird and nerve wracking. Was it linked to steam?
