Why is this not a thing yet? Some of the names really take me out if the atmosphere of the game. Seriously.

Dude I love your sig. I still wonder why we have unique character naming as part of the creation process. Or naming at all

It's not the "console way" , nor "console logic" and I'm irritated at reading that about this issue and others.


I've played multiple mmos on the PS2 , PS3 , PS4 , made by different companies.

All let you remap your controller ,
All had text chat.
All had character names used.

So ESO is the exception in leaving all these out. It is most certainly NOT the "console way" in regards to mmorpgs.

It wold be great to see names instead of ID's, but If I remember correctly I read somewhere that it wasn't a matter of them ignoring, it, it is a matter of they simply can't do it because of the nature of the licenses for PS4/XB1, from what I understand they want in game names hence why you can choose one but either $ony or Micro$oft won't allow it, something to do with not playing anonymously or something.

If that was the case, every other MMO on either console would not let you use names, just ID's. Since all other MMO's actually do let you use names, then a license issue or playing anonymously is out of the question.

*shrugs* Zos doesn't see any need for immersion on consoles, we just like shooting things and shouting "yeeaaa boiii" in our mics.

Ha exactly my point. No text chat because we want to be immersed, but, doing dungeons with "xlxsugasluggaxlx" completely immerses me, awesome.

I honestly think ZOS are i***t's. Stereotyped entire PC crowd, cause they don't need controllers or like to talk. Stereotyped console crowd because, well we can't type or afford keyboards and slouch on the sofa all day.

Yet another poll where support is at 80%. Starting to see a trend here

Although I'd like to change my Character name if it happened, since my tall, beefy Redguard Death Knight is called "Apollo Creed of Cyrodiil" ....

Who is the ceo of Zenimax, it's not Don Mattrick by any chance is it? lol You know, the guy that nearly single handedly sunk the xbox1 before it was even launched. His Let them eat 360 comment is akin to the sort of arrogance the Zos people are showing to their customers.

I'd like to know if Playstation was even approached on the matter? Why is it a one in, all in thing when it comes to consoles? If it needs to be this way, make it compulsory for all PC players to have an Xbox or PSN account before they can play the game on PC and then force them to use that account name instead of their character name. One in, all in.

Unrelated but PC does have account names too just that these are utilized differently on PC cause the PC server isn't operating within or along with a consoles network.

It seems some designs lack insight on consoles early on and caused some issues down the road thus a 12 month + delay

I'd like to see it but i'm interested in Guild tags showing under your PSN/GT, or atleast having the option to display a title or Guild tags.

I feel like ZOS is ignoring the issue, but I'm curious how many people would actually want to see their character name instead of their GT/PSN ID above their head.

It certainly kills the immersion seeing "Sniper_Boy-360_Rekt" running around instead of an actual character name.

Many of my guildies have some really cool role playing names which fit their character. It's a shame I don't get to see them in game when I'm rolling with them.

Especially the Argonian names lol

It is an RPG, after all.

Especially if in-game Sniper_Boy is a voluptuous naked valkyrie. It makes my eyes bleed.
