#180, "Random Character generation:(two-parts)"


          

1) Could you make an in game random name generator that once race is taken gives you alternatives for the name you choose? Give CF some uniformity in names based on race.

2) Could you make an option right after name choice for random race/class generation, maybe with it loaded towards what is low on numbers?

I think this would help people who want to play but are currently suffering a mental block with respect to what.(Yep me.)

Also having a slate of names available would help veteran and new player equally. It promotes the roleplaying atmosphere.

I really don't want to end up with people bitching because the random name generator ended up giving them something like Dumbledore, and then get pissed when we ask them to change it.

And this helps roleplaying how? Just give me whatever race/class combo, I'll deal with it! Uhm, no. You should have an idea of what you want to play before you start.

So long, and thanks for all the fish!
