So they have said you can change your Ryder's name if you want. But if you keep it at the default they will use it in the game. I'm just wondering how much. Since I have to say I would LOVE if all my friends and family used my name and not Pathfinder or last name when they talk to me. I mean if real life my friends and family don't call me Carpenter when they talk to me...

I would imagine mostly either in off duty moments or moer intimate moments during your romances or something is when the names will most likely get used.

I hope it's not to often, I don't want to feel like I'm missing out on anything by refusing to play default characters.

Calling somebody Shepard has a better ring to it than calling somebody Ryder - no? Guess we will have to get used to it.

For me, The most ridiculous thing in Bioware game (DA2/DAI and ME trilogy) is that no one call me by first name. even my love or best friend. Maybe it's common thing for Western culture but I am not western... So I want NPC to talk to me by first name as mucn as possible, especially our friend, family and Lover. Now I start to imagine Liam yell Ryder name when Scott's in danger. ps. I fully support if they choose both first name & last name for us. (I believe many game do that) as long as they allow player to choose their own path. (Spme game not allow us to change appearance or even have only one ending)

Guess we will have to get used to it. either deal with it or do not play the new game its that simple Shepard is dead even that the real man that the clown prince of Mass Effect was based on is a great man and hero Alan Shepard

You should still be able to change your character's appearance. That's my hope, anyway. I believe this is true. I think I saw a confirmation somewhere on the Twitter thread that you can still change appearance.

I'm definitely keeping the default name regardless of how many times it's used. It's not ideal, but I look at it this way: if my friends, or maybe even Anderson at the end, used my Shepard's first name only once, in my opinion, it would've been worth keeping the default. I'm curious about how they've dealt with the awkwardness of our father addressing us (or even worse--speaking about us in third person) if we opt for a custom name: "Liam, Drack,... uuuuuh, son/daughter, proceed to the engineering section."

I don't see much need to use it very often. Most of the awkward occasions when they should have used a first name instead of a surname or title, they didn't really need to say anything. In normal speech, context makes clear who you're addressing.

It'd be cool if they had a list of default names to choose from in game like I know afew EA Sports games that have that feature so the commentators end up saying your first or last name instead of a random nickname or number
But considering how much dialogue is involved in most Bioware game I doubt the VAs would sit through that just for one minor change. It'll definitely get confusing if all 3 Ryders end up in a room together though

I imagine it's mostly between family members, since that's the weirdest place to use last names or titles.

I am changing the names as well, and I like Ryder more than Bhaalspawn, Farlong, Warden, Shepard and Revan. Exile is still my favorite way the main character was referred to, to avoid the name.
