Saw your livestream today, Larian. Really excited about the 'The Dark Urge' Origin that was introduced! Even more thrilled about the fact that it provides players an option to generate fully customizable background with story effects that can be overlaid over your own custom character. This reveal holds a tremendous amount of promise.
I loved everything about the potential this customizable new origin option brings into the game, except one minor thing...Everything is customizable about this origin except the character's NAME. I noticed in the dialogue scenes when the Player Character with this Origin introduce themselves to NPCs, the dialogue lists the name as:
First Name: The
Second Name: Dark
Last Name: Urge
In my personal opinion, it is immersion breaking to introduce yourself to strangers by saying your name is literally 'The Dark Urge' when meeting someone for the first time. I recommend providing player's the option to use this wonderful background and also to customize the name of their character to something of their own preference, while maintaining the choice to keep 'The Dark Urge' Origin hidden when introducing themselves to strangers during game play and only advertise their true aspect to their trusted friends and close allies providing for an organic story flow.
Good luck and Godspeed Larian!
