FO1: How to change the name of your character?

Lord Terrible

First time out of the vault
Happens as this: I screwed something up in the character creation screens, so now my character is known by the name None.

"Hey, what's your name?"
1) I'm None.
2) None of your business!

It's fun at times, but I'd still like to change it without starting over. I know it's possible. Do any FO1 trainers allow for it? I've lost my Visual Studio disc, so I can't crack it meself...
 
Yeah, it can change is, Rosh... Though you may succumb to some error now and again.

You can even change your sex:P
 
Thanks. Changed my name, went to the Cathedral bottom floor, emptied my supply of Buffout, Mentats and Psycho and shot the master seven times in the eye with a modified plasma rifle. Oh yeah, blew up some of those vats too. Is there a way to continue playing? By for example, installing the patch? :)
 
I think there was a patch/mod to allow you to continue playing Fallout 1 after you completed the game
 
That's a broken link, but thanks for taking the time. Found the end mod :)

Now I've set up my cottage in the BoS base, from where I venture about killing everybody with my gatling laser. Nothing as relaxing back on the base with Vree the Sexy Librarian after a hard month of genocide :D
 
Changing your character's name

Is it possible to change your character's name while already playing the game, say by manually editing a specific file?

By mistake I miss spelled my name, left an 'i' out, and would like to fix this. I'm not that far into the game, but I still don't want to start over.

Thank you.
 
Open the save.dat file with a hex editor. Close to the beginning (offset 0x1d, specifically) you'll see your character's name in the ASCII view. Edit, save, play.
 
I did search. "Name" didn't produce the results I wanted, not even "Fallout character name" on google!

Well thanks anyway.
 
How about "name change", duh? It's not like there havent been 11 years in which to ask.
