Hello, [Insert Name Here]

A common feature is to allow players the option to name their Player Character, or even other characters. It allows for a certain level of customization. Most games that do this feature a hero without a past, but many even present this option for characters that actually have "real" names. Often, the player's name will appear in a slightly different typeface, which may have been intended to remind the player that he's the one being addressed, but also reminds him that the dialogue is being generated Mad Libs style. Endless amusement can be derived from entering entirely inappropriate words instead of names. Occasionally, a game will acknowledge an unusual name choice (often for a cheat code or Easter Egg), or even not allow you to use specific names, such as the names of non-player characters (failure to do the latter can lead to major plot confusion if the player accidentally gives a character the name of a subsequently-introduced character).
