Alright, I do agree with you as well.
What I intend to say is that I wouldn't mind having to set my character's name and such, even if it's once and it's never brought up again but I am more grateful for the attention to detail in regards how there's depth on other aspects of gameplay, which there no doubt in given the information regarding the game that is out there
I'm fairly undecided, perhaps so were they and they just decided to go with V. How does setting your character name will resonate in the game. It seems like if it's not a focus early on it's trickier to add it later.
At least we can stil imagine our character's name in our heads and just find reasons to keep it secret, I mean why not... the world is out to eat you, chew you out and spit you into the gutter. Since birth.
