Many Speed Runs will reduce character names to a single letter because it makes Scrolling Text messages go by just that much faster. Naturally, it is common for the player to abuse this feature ( in one way or another). Occasionally, a game will acknowledge an unusual name choice (often for a cheat code or Easter Egg), or even not allow you to use specific names, such as the names of non-player characters (failure to do the latter can lead to major plot confusion if the player accidentally gives a character the name of a subsequently-introduced character). Endless amusement can be derived from entering entirely inappropriate words instead of names. Often, the player's name will appear in a slightly different typeface, which may have been intended to remind the player that he's the one being addressed, but also reminds him that the dialogue is being generated Mad Libs style.
Most games that do this feature a hero without a past, but many even present this option for characters that actually have " real" names. It allows for a certain level of customization. ProZD, "Naming the main character your name in a video game"Ī common feature is to allow players the option to name their Player Character, or even other characters.
