Immersive Names WotC

Description
IMMERSIVE NAMES MOD - VERSION 1.5: WotC UPDATE

IMMERSIVE NAMES replaces character names in XCOM2 with namelists that are considerably more robust, accurate, and proportionate than the ones that ship with the game. This mod expands every default character namelist in the game from a few dozen to a few hundred or thousand. Common first and last names also appear in rough proportion to their popularity. Every country in the base game now has researched namelists that should fairly reflect the names found in those countries today.

VERSION 1.5: WotC UPDATE provides Immersive Names in a WotC-friendly package, and ports changes made in More Nations and Names 1.1.

1.5 CHANGELOG:

* Activates Indonesia in the game, which was included in the original game code but not activated due to lack of a namelist. Namelist pulled from More Nations mod.

* Reworked Russian ethnic namelists to eliminate clearly non-Russian ethnic names

* Changed the overall balance of default languages among both vanilla and added nations to create more variability of languages encountered during gameplay, using the most popular in-game language where possible

* * *

If you're a modder and you've created a mod that conflicts with mine, feel free to release a version that combines our mods. Or reach out to me if you don't have time; if I like your mod I could be open to the idea of doing it myself. Reach out to me on the Nexus, or in the Steam Workshop comment section of the mod; just be advised that I don't hang out in these places all the time and may not get back to you promptly.

@Gidaka the names removed in 1.5 were added in a previous version of the mod, that note is not referring to the names in the original version of the game.

More Nations and Names WotC, the successor mod to this, has a more complex naming structure for the Russia namelist including some Ukranian, Mongolian, Tatar, Caucasian and Finnish names, among others. Those were not included in this mod because this mod hasn't been maintained since MNAN came out (this was last updated in 2017) and doesn't have the source namelists for most of those ethnicities anyway (the other mod has Finland, Mongolia, Armenia, etc.; the only namelist I had to add was Tatar).

The naming conventions are unfortunately not customizable by mod, you can have a gendered random first name and an optionally-gendered random last name, and that's it. That's actually worse for East Asian and Arabic naming traditions FWIW.

In the official list, there are no russian non-ethnic names. Can you give an example? In general, russians have not only European appearance but also Mongolian, Tatar, Caucasian, Finnish... But Ukrainian surnames and naming rules in the game are presented incorrectly. They are simply replaced by Russian ones. I can only call Zinchenko a Ukrainian surname in the game

Dagga, Thank you! The randomness on names is extremely frustrating for me! I have kept renaming toons myself. And I love how you included minority populations into countries. We are ethnically diverse in the US.

Amazing. Fantastic. I love it!

There are a LOT of Vietnamese folks in the Seattle area; I can attest to that personally. I've noticed more pho restaurants in Seattle proper than McDonalds.

Vietnamese-Americans exist. Adding racial minorities in accurate proportions to country namelists is the primary point of the mod. If you don't like it, please unsub

PHUNG NGUYEN=VIETNAM NAME
FLAG SHOWN=AMERICAN
IMMERSION LEVEL=RUINED

Would this conflict with XCom Flag on Back Only WotC?
