Title: [Dialog]Naming our dogs
Post by: Arminius on April 21, 2012, 10:53:14 pm
It's very simple: I suggest that we become able to name the dogs we acquire via a dialog option. Shouldn't be hard to implement. Of course, it'd be necessary to fix this bug (http://fodev.net/forum/index.php/topic,16412.0.html) first.

I like :D
Would be nice for the RP'ers solo'ers.
I'm not sure the "grrr I R PVP player grrr" would care much but others will.

Naming cows would be nice too. Maybe slaves too.

*names slave "My Sex-pusher".*

*names brahmin "Shit Factory".*

*names dog "Little Dick"*

This is what I expect.

You don't say, Captain Obvious...

That is moot since people already do it with their characters names, it's ugly enough as it is and won't get much worse by being able to name dogs, which you won't see as often.

Also, if you read the title, you'll notice I specified Dogs. Names could be picked from a pre-generated list of dog names. Or not, I could care less for the names people choose for their dogs, same goes for their characters.

I didn't say it as a means of negating the suggestion.

I think it's fine.

Dayve mentioned slaves could be used for this too, so I also added brahmins to my list thingy.


- Also, it must be pre-generated names.  Why?  Why don't devs want us making our own faction names?  Exact reasons as I mentioned in first post :D.

btw my name is Captain MickDick; get it right. ;)

Ability to name dogs is good idea. Cows too. Last year i had a mining cow with 1500+ HQ nuggets so i named her Nuggets but i sure wished i'd had a way to tell her apart from the other cows. Naming animals/followers would be great.

In general, "name tags" for sprites would be great. Wallace suggested last year that crafted items could have a "Crafted By" tag, so crafters could get some serious credit. Also i suggested billboards for bases (and tents) so you could tell where you are amongst your vast empire when you first log in. Naming vehicles would help too since that handy key number only works until it is lockpicked, right?

Anyway, not to sabotage your thread - ability to name dogs would be good.

Yea... people will name things in sick, disturbing and/or childish ways. Some people are just like that.

But that does not mean people won't use the naming feature in a proper manner to enchance their RP. This is a RP game right?

search old suggestions, there was one about name for dogs from list, seems that suggestion is lost in spam.

Great, now I have to play Shadowrun thanks to your stupid nostalgic avatar...


Anyway... Wouldn't naming our dogs be a call for attention for PKs and bored trolls? Might as well name the dog "KEEL MEH LAWL!!11!'.

I still don't understand why it still haven't been implemented from the beginning.

(PS : would be cool to tame wild dogs too)

I don't walk the dog in NCR or something like that, I just take it with me when hunting or questing.

You'd have to go out of your way to see, whether a dog is named or not. The fact that you have a dog is probably enough for what you're concerned about. Actually I don't think even that matters.

Highly in favor of the suggestion.
