Say my name, don’t call me champion

Kinda annoying how in voice spoken lines I’m called hero, champion, etc.

Please, just say my name.

We have different complaints. He just wants to be a nobody again, I want these NPCs to actually say my name.

“You’ve done it Bootyslapper! The day is saved!”

It’s kinda hard to do that. A lot of us have unusual names so they’d just get some janky robotic pronunciation if it could even work in the first place. Hero and Champion is easier. The voice actors themselves can’t really do our own names.

After Legion we should’ve been called “Fierce Deity” or your highness, not champion or hero.

Neither adventurer. Call me Deity!

Yes because they totally have the time and budget to make Magni’s voice actor say millions of lines just for a single moment.

Here is the text of The Might of Kalimdor, one of the last quest in the Scepter of the Shifting Sands questline.

"A thousand years has passed and just as it was fated, one stands before me. One who shall lead their people to a new age.

The Old God trembles, . Oh yes, it fears your faith. Shatter the prophecy of C’Thun.

It knows you come, champion - and with you comes the might of Kalimdor. You have only to let me know when you are prepared and I shall grant you the Scepter of the Shifting Sands."

Some names would not be able to be said/read. Thus the game just takes the easy way out.

Because a lot of people have dumb names and it would cost a ton to voice record everyones character name.

No.

It’s impossible to get recorded voice lines for all possible player names, and it’s impossible [thus far] to get any kind of text-to-speech thing going on that will mesh well with actual voice acting.

When they didn’t call us champion, hero, our Legion titles, commander, and so on, it basically just threw the character name in the text but then said nothing at all if it was voiced.

Some people hate being the chosen one.

Not me. Lavish me with praise, for I am your savior.

Also the technology isn’t there to have every uniquely voiced character call you Xxxcloudsephirothxxx.

But they don’t actually say your name, right?

Because that would be pretty much impossible.
