Name Change Issues For Dyslexia

[Buzzwords]

there ARE colorblind features...

also, the ability to re-name your character IS the do-over?

Your whole posts are 100% perfectly written and very long and detailed.

That's extremely insensitive, and no one cares if you had a dyslexic friend and that you think that makes you immune to consequences. I'm dyslexic as well, though it comes around more with reading things incorrectly instead of typing things wrong, though that still happens on occasion.

Did you know that copy-paste exists? Did you know spellcheck exists? Did you know autocorrect exists? Did you know that some words are easier for some people than others? I can type pretty complex things as well, but as soon as I have to enter a code for DLC or something I really struggle because I mix up letters and numbers. Everyone who has dyslexia experiences it differently, and if you're actually sitting here accusing the OP of faking it because they spelled some more complicated words correctly, I have a huge problem with that. Stop acting like such a know-it-all. It's pretty damn rude to actually tell someone you think they're making up the conditions they have. Get over yourself.

Sevn

Just own your mistake ... Ark Sevn looks better than Ark Sven anyway

(my opinion!)

[Kokonji]

Even if you do have a second chance, you still could have been do the same mistake because of... you know... the disabilities will not magically disappear on the second chance, you still could make mistake on the other parts of the name .-.

soo, for each name change, you'll better ask dev something like this :

*Enable special character rename service with disabilities feature*
type : Sevn
"Is your name really Sevn" ?
*oops my bad, retype : Sven
"Is your name really Sven ?"
*yes
"Is your name really really Sven ?"
*yes
"Is your name really really really Sven ?"
*yes
"Do you understand you cannot rechange the name (Sven ) for 24 hours after change ?"
*yes
"Do you understand you'll use this name (Sven) in game after you confirm the change ?"
*yes
"Did you already re-spellcheck this name (Sven) ?"
*yes
"Have you try to search this name (Sven) on google or other search engine to confirm this name is what you want ?"
*yes
"Did your friend confirm that this name (Sven) is what you want ?"
*yes
"Do you confident to use this name (Sven) as your character name ?"
*yes
"This name (Sven) is not fit to race naming convention, do you still want to use it ?"
*yes
"Last confirmation, Do you confirm to change the character name to Sven?"
*yes

so you'll have to re-read your name at least ten times before final confirmation to make sure that it is correct(maybe the name need to go bigger each iteration ?)
if after the final confirmation you still got wrong name, well... you need help... .-.

They should like what seen on others they give you about hour to finalize your character. Like can use race change and keep changing its looks till like it for hour you have to finalize it.

There's nothing to be humiliated or embarassed about. Heck, I forgot my name once and had to actually ASK what it was to my own family. Eh ...

I knew a girl in school who had dyslexia. It was terrible as she couldn't read the bus numbers correctly, and missed her bus alot because of it. She had me read them off for her.

Besides I think Sevn is a fine name!

Please don't use orange on these white background posts. Difficult and painful to read. Thanks!

I mean, I'm all for a last-ditch safety period... Though that's true for all such changes (especially due to our Voice choices not showing our most frequent voice effects in the customization menus, requiring us to make another character for each voice for which we want to know the combat sounds).

But, on a unique basis of having a handicap? How does this apply any more to a video game than to, say, any other thing you sign up for, any password you've ever set, etc., etc.? The disability is unique, sure, but it wouldn't be uniquely affecting you here in any meaningful way.

- Someone who has to re-read everything I type constantly, because my brain literally auto-corrects what I see to what I thought I wrote, instead of what I actually wrote.

That's why you have to take different measures if you know you can mess up like that.

But...why can't I stop thinking of this pic whenever I see OP's Hrothgar?....

I dunno, OP.

My wife has dyslexia and it's a challenge without a doubt. She's a lawyer. She literally writes important legal documents for a living.

I have dyscalculia. I program for a living. Do I sometimes misread numbers on the market board? Yup. Did the quest in Shadowbringers that asks you to add together some piles of lumber freak me out? Yup.

Just learn to check your work.... In all aspects of your life, especially when a mistake costs you money. :/
