What are you going to name your first character?

@ Rivaldo: That reminds me, I hope we can play stupid characters like Fallout 2 (by making your intelligence very low).

Same as before, a Doc Savage rip-off called Buck Naked.

(Really want to see the player name in lights or something this time, not just a Talon Company memo.)

My favorite grizzled old drifter, Lemmy Killinger. Hopefully I can get him a retinue of gun totin' groupies in Vegas, so he can retire people in style. :gun:

First time through I always play with my Annaj (Janna backwards, silly college nickname that stuck) female character (paladin type). Will try to talk and save idiots from theirselves, backed up with the all the small, big, and energy weapons I can lay my hands on. Normal mode, probably.

Second time through I will play as a neutral as I can get with Middle Melissa, stealth, and guns. Difficult mode, probably.

Third time through I will play as naughty/evil as I can get with Wicked Vivian, stealth, melee (classic chainsaws would be nice), and sniper. hardcoe mode probably (it should always be a challenge to succeed, while evil (unlike the real world)).

Fourth time, I'll play as a guy (just so hard for me to relate to male characters, I really didn't like that about Planescape) probably good type, speech and again all guns.

The names i give characters always are characters in some of my favorite movies, video games, and books. So i'll probably start out with Claude Speed as my first. He'll be sneak, small guns and repair/lockpick (gonna wait till the game comes out to decide between the two.) I'm going to try to stick with neutral, but i'll end up slanting into one of the other zones by the end. hardcoe mode for me.

My guy will be named Toby, and he will be able to kill anything just by looking at them. So, pretty much he'll be able to fly.

My first character will probably be Drake Heath, and be male. Then my other random characters I will just make up on the spot, because that how I roll.

Toby will probably have a charisma of 100+ if he's wearing a sweet business suit and nice shades. Plus, if they bring back the flaming sword he'll be like the angel of death and george clooney in one.

Deanna "Tterrile" Rioushi on my first play, it's my default explorer's name. She tends to be neutral and starts with light weapons, sneaking and lockpick tags, later on also energy. Ottavius "Okto" Milani is my basic sniper and should be my second playthrough, or Quincey "Qix" Jizaiten if I decide for heavy weapons, or Touketsu "Roshin" Hitokiri if I want to tag science and explosives, or Yuuki "Senshii" Toorima if I go stealth and melee, or Kanbashi "Uumai" Kafenouaru for charisma and pistols and so on. I have a list of specialists to play, each one comes with his own karma tendencies and preferences. I just don't know yet in what order I will play them all, only thing I know for sure is "Tterrile" comes first, then she decides what comes next :coolvaultboy:

First playthrough will be as Hieronymus, a small-gun-totin', sweet talkin', high-int but weak as a newborn babe dude whose two primary goals are: (1) avoiding an untimely death at the hands or claws or mandibles of meaner and stronger denizens of the wastelands and (2) profit, in the form of reputational props (people don't kill and will protect those who help them) and cold, hard cash.

If low-int dialogue options are back after their conspicuous absence from FO3 (please oh please oh please), my second playthrough will be as GORG!, a very strong, healthy and good-natured ugly moron whose naivete leads him to fall in with folks who may exploit him. Good thing he's excellent with melee weapons, big guns and his fists, because sometimes such Bad People need a beatdown after he realizes they've made him do some Not So Nice things.

If low-int dialogue options aren't in, then my second playthrough will be as Crulda, the psychotic but highly charismatic female ex-raider. She'll probably have small guns, repair and throwing tagged. She's crazy and violent and therefore unpredictable. She's not really into abstract things like the ideologies of post-Great War civilization - she's more into chaos and self indulgence, including revenge on whomever shot her and left her for dead outside New Vegas.

Ronald, after myself. Typically I don't name my characters in such a manner, but I've already spent Gene on the Lone Wanderer.

Tagged skills will probably be Repair, Lockpick, and Speech. I try to play neutral, but it's difficult to stay that way; I usually lean towards Good Karma on accident- sigh, typical.

What will you name your first character? I normally give my character dumb names such as Your Mom and dumb stuff like that. Also some bonus questions: What type of weapons will you use in your first play-through?, What type of character will you be? (Sniper, stealthy, scavenger, etc.), Will you be good or bad? (reputation-wise) and will you turn on hardcoe mode?

Update: Poll included :coolvaultboy:


I'm not sure about the name yet, but I plan to make my first character a male and play through as a good character. Probably without hardcoe mode because I prefer exploring to actual hardcoe gaming. As for the other stuff, I'll have to figure that out when I get the game.
