I hope the name is used in informal situations with aquaintances, and only occasionally. I think 'Shepard' and 'Hawke' were over-used by close friends. A couple might do that, but not all of them. Just skip names entirely with friends. The only thing worse was the Warden's friends calling them 'the Warden'.

In more formal situations or with strangers, or wherever appropriate, I hope the title is used.

Hmmm, maybe we'll get a different lastname with each background, but it would be rarely used. Sort of like mini DAO backgrounds (I think Cousland was used by other people a couple of times).

Otherwise it's going to be "Inquisitor" or "Hey! You!"

[Mornmagor]

They should just call you dude.

"Hey, Dude!"

"You saved the day again, Dude!"

"I love you, Dude!"

"Die, Dude!"

Quite catchy

Two questions to consider:

1.Is the protagonist an Inquisitor, and if so, what does the occupation imply in DA?

2. In correspondence to the first question, does the protagonist starts his/her journey as an Inquisitor or later becomes one?

Why should these questions be considered?

Well, at the very least it may determine if the hero is called by either 'title' or last name. It also may be both depending on whom the main character interacts with. A personal acquaintance? A higher likelihood of a personal name, discussion, or what have being address. Different relations could evoke multiple scenarios when being involved in ncp's issues or simply day to day life. Player's actions as an Inquisitor may alter the mindset of npcs if distinguishable interactivity is apply, such as subjection to violence, pleasantries, and gratitude.

I would prefer a preset first name. It was just far too weird when an LI referred to Hawke as "Hawke," or when Hawke introduced himself as such while Carver Hawke or Bethany Hawke was standing right there.

Personally, I want a mix; different people calling my Inquisitor differently:

party members and antagonists- last name or nickname(s)
NPCs- title
LIs- pet name(s)

Man am I glad you brought this topic up!

It should be both first and last name pretty much exclusively.

Honestly, and sorry but I had a long day so bear with. I effing hope god they just remove the first name change option. It's so damn stupid, really. Does a character whos only really unique option is first name change feel more like yours just because of it? If I hear one more person say champion this, or hero of that I'm gonna freak out. It's really annoying, especially when they refer to them by those ridiculous titles! Just saying I personally hated it, and that I need some coffee.

Dragon Age 2, Deagan says something along the lines of the Warden Commander ( I REALLY hate this one, I'm sure you guys do to ) returning shortly. Allistair replies, " He has a name you know. " EXACTLY . Tired rant over.

[Fredward]

Yeah. Titles are stupid. And make NO sense with friends. I'd prefer a first name but THAT'S not going to happen.

[Meatbaggins]

At least it's not as bad as Final Fantasy X where everyone just calls the protagonist "Him". Personally, I don't mind them just using a last/name title. Sure, it can be bit immersion breaking now and then, but no more so than having a protagonist with no voice like in DA:O.

what's the point of having to think a first name if nobody uses it? In subsequent playthroughs you may as well name your character "857438" like a ME3 MP toon.

I say Bioware give us a set of default first names, recorded in-game, so people can call us by first name.

I like this idea, preset the names so we can hear other people in game calling the pc by the first name instead of hey you, but how many names would you need, don't forget the voice acting budget cost

[Kidd]

We just need one, single, unisex name. That'll do.

[Catroi]

Use a goddam first name, wont change a thing and will make it look more real, I mean everyone calls themselves by first name but even my LI cant use mine? way to break immersion...

It's funny, but going through school, all the way through school, I didn't hear my first name used all that often. I was addressed by my surname, or some colorful expletives more often. So much so that I can recall being oblivious to people that actually used my given name. At Ren Faires, when I could participate, I was more often Bard, or the Bard than my given name.

However, I would find it more than a little disrespectful of random NPC#45687 calling me by my first name. The whole first name thing for me is a way to differentiate saves, and that's all it's really good for. My first wife called me Hon more than anything else, with some colorful expletives mixed in, hence "first wife". My second wife had even more colorful names for me. My last GF used a pet name, not going to repeat it here, and sometimes by Mr. Surname. So it doesn't bother me in the least bit that I'm going to be addressed by a given title, or surname. I just expect that's going to be the case.

I hope NOT, omg. They should just used a first name.

[Joy Divison]

It's bad enough I'm forced to play a human. I'd rather not be forced to play "John" or "Jane" just so we can hear a first name.

[Naitaka]

I'm guessing they'll just used the title for Inquisitor much as they did for the Warden. Perhaps your LI can give you some intimate nickname for those situation.

[K_Tabris]

Yet TW2 has mroe options and permutations than most Bw games, and Geralthas a set name and gender. But I like customizing the main character as much as possible.

[Ashelsu]

But are we going to have different background for PC? Like Rivain seer, Tevinter magister, Orlesian noble or something? Wouldn't their last names be different then? Or are we going to be old boring turnips again?
