Actor name for language pips #323

Closed LukasPrism closed 1 year ago

Hi there – just wanted to say we love the new language select and the coloured dots showing who speaks what. Brilliant work!

One thing we'd really appreciate would be the option to use the actor name rather than the player name. We jump around characters quite a bit and it would help keep things straight in our DM's head – since it is the character that speaks the language and not the player anyway.

Hope that makes sense?

Many thanks for your excellent work.

I understand, but how exactly are you changing characters that often? Is the DM giving AND taking away ownership of actors often? Or are they just giving more actors? Because if you're just getting more actors, things will get a bit complicated.

Oh sorry that maybe sounded more dramatic than it needed to. We’re playing two different campaigns with the same players, so it’s session to session – not within one game. Even then, as you can imagine we’re constantly referring to each other with the wrong names in RP. I’m actually looking forward to them winding up so we can focus on Kingmaker

Ah, that makes more sense! Would having the user name followed by owned actors' names be good enough? Example: image

Sure! That’s more than I was expecting :)
