    Some might see this as extremely low priority but it's one of those little immersion things that bugs me. It seems when an NPC asks you your name it wants you to input both your first and last name. At least I assume so.

    My character is currently "Feleth Pilton" and when they ask my name if I just say "Feleth" I get the "Hmm" as though I'm lying, even though I'm not! Is it possible to have them go off just our first names as well as the full thing?

    Actually, with one exception* you can lie to NPCs about your name. However, most of the time you do need to preface it with "My name is" or "I am".

    * try lying to the Oracle about your name...

    Also lower priority to fix, but I told an NPC:

    "My name is not ...". You can imagine the reply.

    **Variations to consider: "My name isn't ..." or "I am not..." or "I'm not ..."

    If we're on the subject of NPC responses I'd like to see them programmed to respond to "Thank you" with something too :p
