ghostsoap01 Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Yeah that would be cool. Technically we named our GTAO characters on the mugshot in character creation, but other players never really see it. It would be cool this time around to have character names displayed.

Slonitram Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 You can name your GTAO character, I don't see why you wouldn't be able to in this one. What name are you thinking of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafae Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Isn't your name just your PSN ID or Xbox Gamertag? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All rpg mmo games (elder scrolls online, dc universe online , etc) have that simple feature, so it should be simple for them to do, and will run immersion if they don't Edited November 20, 2018 by Revoemag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedster Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I believe that we will be able to do that, just like in GTAO, the question is if it will be visible to others or not. But I don't think so... other players will see your R* account nick name. I also think that we will be able to create multiple characters (like in GTAO) and the names we will type in are there just for you, so you know who is who... I guess. Not a big deal for me tho...

RyuNova Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 I want no names or radar blips. If I am riding through the wilderness I don't want XxXYOLOSW$G420BigDICKURm0MXxX knowing where I am so he can Dead Eye auto-aim me with the Mauser he bought with Buffalo Bonds.

IamCourtney Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 (edited) In the original Red Dead 's online mode there were dozens of nicknames you could unlock in various ways through gameplay. I don't usually go in for collectathons for their own sake but I love it when they unlock some sort of visible sign of achievement, like a lot of the first generation tattoos you could earn in GTAO. I would love to see something similar in RDRO. Edited November 20, 2018 by IamCourtney Red Lynx 23, Lonely-Martin and CrimsonFolo 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In GTA Online, your only visible name to others is the one you created in the Rockstar Social Club; so for me, DentureDynamite... but my character's names are "Sherri" and "Anya". So for RDR Online, I hope we can use "Sherri" or "Anya". However(!), the big caveat is that opening up those "sub-level" names heavily restricts what you can call them, as you're now having to compete with literally millions of players for unique names.

Names and radar blips should just be removed completely. Radar blips for sound related stuff like shooting guns and explosions are fine, but not for players. specterkev and ALifeOfMisery 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Star Trek Online actually had a way around this, by displaying both names, the character name first, and then in smaller text the username that you would use to actually contact them, this way players could have whatever character name they wanted without issue.

This would be the most fun, as the player could blend into a crowd, just look like another npc if they aren't running around and shooting up the place Jedster and ALifeOfMisery 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lock n' Stock Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I want an actual decent character creation. Ditch that sh*tty partent-selecting system that was in GTA Online, for a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrimsonFolo Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I wouldn't mind being able to have a custom name in game as i could probably come up with something that fits better than my current PSN name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
