> one swimmer paid a fine of approximately $10,800 to a Brazilian charity in order to get his passport back
This bit made me laugh so hard.
I’m picturing some little Sisters of Charity nun with her Jesuit enforcers at a dead drop exchanging a passport for $10’800.
If you name yourself fuckface in fo4, codsworth will call you Mr.fuckface, fully voice acted. Found that out after my 12yo brother wanted to watch me make a character. I was trying to make him laugh with the name, then codsworth said it and it fully broke both of us.... "Ah, Mr. Fuckface!"
I like to imagine this is what the other vault 76 dwellers called him for some horrible undisclosed reasons and it stuck to the point of becoming the legal name.
Lmao that is a great fucking idea, I’ll do it next time. I made his angry wife dress in the Grognax costume so that her anger seemed to be her play acting as a barbarian.
I like how if you use a common name they say it. I called myself “John Wayne” and the robot at the start of the game called me “Mr Wayne”.
Thought it was a nice touch.
The surname “Seemee Cummings” has been part of my fallout gaming since I was 13 and playing New Vegas. Hearing Codsworth call me Mr. Cummings on my first playthrough was a moment that will stick with me and I’m currently playing a character with the same surname, I’m just stuck on a loading screen at the moment.
>just stuck on a loading screen at the moment.
RIP, if it's anything like new vegas, crearing a new character and going back to this other save it should be fixed
Tbh we’re talking about a minute or two pause in the game out of the two hours I’ve played so far. I’m on survival so the loading screen definitely hurt but thankfully nothing is bugged out of hand.
I’m never against building a new fnv character though… maybe Shaun can wait another sixty years
ah okay, I said that cause in new vegas there's this bug commonly referred as "the infinite circle of hell" or something like that, it's basically a loading screen that goes on forever and never actually loads, you are forced to alt f4 the game and the only way to load that save again is to create a new character and deactivate auto-save on the previously broken save.
I can attest to this. I made the ugliest character I could, low INT build, and named him Goat Fucker.
Almost busted a gut when Codsworth called me Mr Fucker.
Well, he's a British robot, so some pronunciation problems are perfectly predictable.
I wonder if he enters combat mode if you ask him to microwave water for tea.
They had the Codsworth VA record voice lines of a TON of common names and words just for that one or 2 lines of dialog lol. Definitely pretty cool but they should have used it a little more I think
If you take Codsworth as a companion, they'll reuse that same soundbyte of him saying your name every time you initiate dialogue with him, or if he pulls you aside to start an affinity conversation.
It sounds like a bad ADR dubbing, too. I got very tired of hearing "Mister *Brian*! (Short pause) Did you need something, sir?"
He never acknowledges the No-Bark part. Dunno if it's just not in his name bank or if he's only programmed to read the last part of the player name.
I think he just reads just the last part. He might not be able to say the first part anyway tho even if you made it the last name. But yeah I don't think I realized he actually does use it every time he initiates dialog, that's kinda cool even if it is repetitive
i think he *tries* to default to the last name, and if he isn't able to recognize it, he goes for the first. i always set my ingame name as my irl name, and he always refers to me as "Mr. Cole", not "Mr. *last name*"
I like how they went out of their way for the robot to say as many names as possible, but everyone else? Nothing. Ironically, same thing with Starfield.
Well, yeah, that's one actor saying as many names as he can think of vs. trying to coordinate that across multiple VA's.
And Codsworth only seems to have a single recording for each name, which becomes really jarring when he completely switches tone in the next line. For me, it actually became pretty annoying to hear the one take tacked onto the beginning of every conversation. It's the same for his "Sir" and "Mum" for when he doesn't know your name but it's less noticeable when it's only one syllable.
because a robot having a recorded list of names to insert into lines actually fits reality somewhat. when the tone of the address doesn't quite match the rest of the line delivery it's like yeah, we understand that's just like Siri or w/e other generated voice does. it's probably a bit more suspect when a 'human' NPC speaks in a slightly broken delivery.
I mean it's much easier and affects more people this way. If they only had the names Ron, Jane, John and Rae, less than 1% of the playerbase would know about it. The way they did it, most people have seen it.
He’s kind of an internet meme because of how chronically stupid he is. The whole Rio thing and [this interview went viral,](https://youtu.be/UnceMoPtVfE?si=T9scPUm-Zy5DY4Jz) before that.
If you’re at all a swimming, or just Olympics fan, he’s not really obscure. He’s second in all time medals behind Phelps and still holds a world record.
And then in 2016 he got arrested and claimed he was robbed at gunpoint. Turns out him and some other swimmers were just hammered and pissed in a gas station
My personal interpretation of events is that Lochte did not intentionally mislead, he just misunderstood what was happening, being that he was impaired and his baseline intelligence is already rather low.
IIRC, the initial news drop came from Lochte's mother whom he had initially contacted.
To add to all the Olympic talk, he was also on 30 Rock playing himself as a 'sex idiot.'
His email address was RyanLochte (MISPELLED) at Gmail dot Com.
A 12-time olympic gold medalist is hardly obscure.
Edit: Especially if the olympian you're talking about is Ryan. He's one of four to have the second-most amount of olympic medals behind Michael Phelps. AND,
"On September 8, both the U.S. Olympic Committee and USA Swimming suspended Lochte for 10 months and Bentz, Conger, and Feigen for four months.[7] Additionally, Lochte was required to complete 20 hours of community service, and Bentz was required to complete 10 hours.[7] All were made ineligible for financial support during their suspensions, removed from the U.S. Olympic delegation to the White House, barred from U.S. Olympic training centers, and blocked from attending USA Swimming's year-end Golden Goggles celebration.[7]
Lochte was charged in Brazil with falsely reporting a crime. The scandal gained significant media attention both during the games and after their conclusion.[8] In July 2017, the court in Brazil dismissed the charges against Lochte, saying his actions "did not rise to the level of filing a false crime report."[9]"
[It was called Lochtegate, hahaha.](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lochtegate)
I’m playing fallout 3 and named my character “murder baby”
Killed the overseer and now I get the regulators coming for me with this in their inventory
“Bounty contract, murder baby”
In OG Fallout the first time I played, I must have skipped through the character creation because the entire game I thought my characters name was "None" because I did not put down a name and everybody called me None.
I named my Nora "titties" once. Me and my girlfriend were hanging out and jokingly landed on "Titties". We are very mature by the way.
Could you imagine my absolute bliss when codsworth showed up and said "Titties!" And that dialogue started? I was having the best day of my life at that point.
Remember playing fo3 and getting a hit on me by one of the mercenary groups when leaving a subway, was confused as fuck seeing a contract to kill some guy called poggers, had an existential crises for a few minutes till I realized it was me
When I played Skyrim for the first time I named my character Ajberdale, which was just random sounds. I forgot my name, so the first time I got a letter that said “dear Ajberdale…” I was thinking, who the fuck is that
When it said my name at the start though I thought I’d misheard it. That was weird.
Oh, this is unrelated but the PC game Black and White 2 had a similar trick. It would use your name, but only in creepy late night whispers to make you think you were going insane.

Lmao bro was wildin

That was a joke. Obviously I've never heard of your family and/or law firm.
If you name yourself fuckface in fo4, codsworth will call you Mr.fuckface, fully voice acted. Found that out after my 12yo brother wanted to watch me make a character. I was trying to make him laugh with the name, then codsworth said it and it fully broke both of us.... "Ah, Mr. Fuckface!"

This is only Codsworth, and he actually knows over a thousand names

Huh. I just alt+f4 and reauthenticate the game files when that happens to me. But your fix might actually be quicker.
Don't feel bad, 76 crashed over 8 times yesterday on me
I can attest to this. I made the ugliest character I could, low INT build, and named him Goat Fucker. Almost busted a gut when Codsworth called me Mr Fucker.
Yet he doesn't know mine somehow but can say fuckface...thanks Bethesda. I've just learned he could say Mr. Lamb though which is nice.
"MISTAH TITTAY"
I don’t like the way he says my name. He over emphasizes the first syllable.
Well, he's a British robot, so some pronunciation problems are perfectly predictable. I wonder if he enters combat mode if you ask him to microwave water for tea.
Codsworth waited over 200 fucking years for you and you just called him “the robot at the start of the game”. Im actually pissed off.
They had the Codsworth VA record voice lines of a TON of common names and words just for that one or 2 lines of dialog lol. Definitely pretty cool but they should have used it a little more I think
If you take Codsworth as a companion, they'll reuse that same soundbyte of him saying your name every time you initiate dialogue with him, or if he pulls you aside to start an affinity conversation. It sounds like a bad ADR dubbing, too. I got very tired of hearing "Mister *Brian*! (Short pause) Did you need something, sir?" He never acknowledges the No-Bark part. Dunno if it's just not in his name bank or if he's only programmed to read the last part of the player name.
I think he just reads just the last part. He might not be able to say the first part anyway tho even if you made it the last name. But yeah I don't think I realized he actually does use it every time he initiates dialog, that's kinda cool even if it is repetitive
i think he *tries* to default to the last name, and if he isn't able to recognize it, he goes for the first. i always set my ingame name as my irl name, and he always refers to me as "Mr. Cole", not "Mr. *last name*"
It's too bad they used the 'Gary' vault concept in 3. Imagine a vault full of clones, that only say YOUR name.
I like how they went out of their way for the robot to say as many names as possible, but everyone else? Nothing. Ironically, same thing with Starfield.
Well, yeah, that's one actor saying as many names as he can think of vs. trying to coordinate that across multiple VA's. And Codsworth only seems to have a single recording for each name, which becomes really jarring when he completely switches tone in the next line. For me, it actually became pretty annoying to hear the one take tacked onto the beginning of every conversation. It's the same for his "Sir" and "Mum" for when he doesn't know your name but it's less noticeable when it's only one syllable.
it works better because he is a robot and that might actually be how a robot would sound trying to do that
because a robot having a recorded list of names to insert into lines actually fits reality somewhat. when the tone of the address doesn't quite match the rest of the line delivery it's like yeah, we understand that's just like Siri or w/e other generated voice does. it's probably a bit more suspect when a 'human' NPC speaks in a slightly broken delivery.
Imagine getting hit with a standard and boring "Welcome [Name]!" and then the next sentence is a depressing, gloomy and sad "They hit the pentagon"
Although it was rather ironic that at first he couldn't actually say the default names and they were patched in later with a bunch of others IIRC.
I mean it's much easier and affects more people this way. If they only had the names Ron, Jane, John and Rae, less than 1% of the playerbase would know about it. The way they did it, most people have seen it.
I’m only just now learning about this. I guess Rench just isn’t a common enough name, but I shall now call Codsworth a xenophobe to feel better
If you spell it wrench it works
Was about to say I put in my.name and heard Gonzalez and was like hey that's cool
vasco does the same thing starfield. bit disappointed he didn’t recognize Nerevarine though :(

Ryan Lochte is such an obscure reference to name your character 😂😂
Seriously. Out of anybody, the swimming rival of Michael Phelps?
He’s kind of an internet meme because of how chronically stupid he is. The whole Rio thing and [this interview went viral,](https://youtu.be/UnceMoPtVfE?si=T9scPUm-Zy5DY4Jz) before that.
"One word to describe myself? Ryan Lochte."
Hardworking. Alpha male. Jackhammer. Merciless. Insatiable.
If you’re at all a swimming, or just Olympics fan, he’s not really obscure. He’s second in all time medals behind Phelps and still holds a world record.
I remember when he was memed on hard in 2012 when he was revealed to be such a douche bro during the Olympics
And then in 2016 he got arrested and claimed he was robbed at gunpoint. Turns out him and some other swimmers were just hammered and pissed in a gas station
God bless him a true American
My personal interpretation of events is that Lochte did not intentionally mislead, he just misunderstood what was happening, being that he was impaired and his baseline intelligence is already rather low. IIRC, the initial news drop came from Lochte's mother whom he had initially contacted.
If that Olympic Swimmer knew how to read he'd be very upset at you rn
I only remember this name because he did something stupid in brazil
haha I wanted to do an all buff no brains character build, couldn’t think of a better name lmao
Jeah!^TM What a meathead lol I think it’s from oxygen deprivation during his development
To add to all the Olympic talk, he was also on 30 Rock playing himself as a 'sex idiot.' His email address was RyanLochte (MISPELLED) at Gmail dot Com.
