Hello! It seems I've come across a bug during the Flashback story with Captain Rais, where it flashes back to where the protagonist is young and just lost her dad, the name appears as "Tamar" but the name keeps randomly changing with "#", "@", and "$"s, but I had my characters name set to "Lily"? Not sure what I did to cause it, I only have the Convent mod which is an official one.
The name is supposed to show up like that. Reloading the game shouldn’t change that. If it did, that would be the bug. As I explained, the name you give her is an alias. Also there should be no loop, it’s just how the game works, you spend a few days living the character’s old life before moving on.
