Title: How do I review my custom character information?
Post by: Ilea on October 29, 2008, 02:21:59 am
Hi,

I'm obviously new so I hope I'm doing this correctly. If not, then forgive me. I custom created my character, however I forgot to write down the information (i.e. parents names, birth date, etc.). How do I bring up this information to look at it?

Thanks  :)

I think that if you look at the profile description of your character, the information will be there.

somethings like birth date and parents names are not stored anywhere atm and have no effect on your character ingame at this time. You can just recreate that info for yourself and write it down and store it on your pc, keep in mind that the info that goes in your description are things people can see and you cant see when you were born or who your parents are just by looking at you.

Unless you've changed your description, you can find them there by default. Just examine you character, as Zanzibar said.

You do not need to remember that information... but if you look during the setup process, certain things add or subtract from certain skills which determines your starting numbers...

It's unfortunate.  :(

I thought that the information about my parents (their names), my birth date, and sign would be saved, just like the rest.  But those few didn't.  I already forgot my father's name.  I remembered by mother's, but... yeah.  I want to write their story and my character's sometime, so it would have been useful.  My mistake, I guess.  It would be nice if you added those to the custom description by default as well.  We can always change that text later.

So I guess I should just delete my character and create a new one making the same choices again (but remembering to write down all the info)?
Thank you all for replying :)

Yeah, that should work for things like the birth date.   But you wouldn't have to go as far as to finish creating it.  :)  Unless you lost all the information and wish to recover it?

Since the information you 'lost' is not stored anywhere, it also means that no-one will know if you use a different name or date of birth. Re-creating your character and remembering another name no-one will see therefor makes no sense. You can just as easily invent names for your parents and use those.
