Hello again all. Today I have a request. I've been seeing the names PeeBee and Liam around a lot. I don't really like the names that much, very cartoony, but I won't tell other people what to like. A solution might be allowing us to rename our squad mates. Final Fantasy has done so in the past. I know this is a voiced Protag so that presents problems. I would still however like to hear your opinion. So I've set up a quick poll and if you could answer I'd be grateful, if you could explain why you feel that it would also be great. So, will you accept my reading, request? The poll is above.

Interesting suggestion.. I have to vote no though. As stated in OP, with a voiced protag it couldn't really work. But we may have the option to not use nicknames, or something else, like Kelly in ME2.

It shouldn't be changeable. I think it would be harder for the player to reference the other party members then if we could rename them. The writers already have to find get around the fact that we get to change our first name, so they called us by our last name in the trilogy.
As for Final Fantasy, I know they used to do it when there was no real voiced protagonist, and iirc, they did away with it once the characters had voices of their own.

As much as I'd like it, I had to vote no. No way they're gonna do a game calling everyone, "Hey, you."

I found it awkward with everyone just using Shepard's last name in the Trilogy and actually prefer it when the developer at least gives the protag a suitable nickname (e.g. I would have preferred it if everyone just called Shepard "Shep" or Commander because that at least sounds like a plausible nickname substitute for a first name or if they had introduced an air force call sign, like "Loco" in the first game). Going a step further and allowing us to rename our squad just seems excessive. To compensate for it, the developers would either just avoid giving anyone lines with a person's name in it (which just seems too impersonal) or give everyone a nickname or call sign.

Thanks for ruining my chances at children Seriously though, I have a hard enough time coming up with a meaningful name for my character (leaning on 'Riley' which means brave/valouress), let alone a whole gang of misfits.

That third choice is just toogood not to pick But no, while not a bad idea in voiceless game, it just wouldn't work in a game with voiced characters, and we don't want everypne to be "hey you" (or well, at least I would assume so)

I do not care too much about the ability to change companions names...or my own for that matter, but I'd really love to be able to customize their look in the CC. And that should minimize the "why are the only straight romancable characters ugly!" complaints. And the first thing I'd do is get rid of Ascoon's wanna be Furiouso look.

Couldn't help myself, had to pick the third option, but on all seriousness, I don't think it would be a good idea to have that feature.

I was supposed to say "Your mums house" to another Krogan who i suspect is actually a Turian in disguise and lift Ryncol. But I'm guessing that wouldn't make any sense to you at all and you'd probably be offended. So this is awkward. *Puts away the top hat*
