As of 1.0.8, I've never seen any title other than "...the Adventurer" appended to my character's name. It used to be that whatever skill tree I was deepest in or maxed first/most recently would change the title fairly regularly ("the Ambidextrous", "the Fencer", "the Sneak-Thief", etc) but I haven't seen this happen since the patch? Honestly I'm not sure how the titles work, but usually I've gotten something by now. Semi-related, is there a list of these titles, or anywhere in the code I could track them down? I've been appending my tombstones with the ones I can remember, but I've been trying new builds and don't know what to put for those.
I suspect it's less of a problem than a cool feature that was never properly implemented. My characters all become "Adventurer" when they've leveled up enough skills, irrespective of what skills they are. Clearly, it's a way of indicating that "Adventurer" is the supreme species into which each character evolves if they survive long enough. This is an accurate reflection of RPG settings, especially the original pen-and-paper ones, where high-level adventurers are superior to the most powerful members of any other profession or group, and tend to end up rivaling the gods themselves if their campaigns continue for long enough.
Maybe adventurer comes as a title when most of your skills are equal. So in the beginning you're adventurer and by the end you're it again. However I confirm it seems broken since the patch.
I just assumed they turned the feature off entirely until it could be fixed properly. In the meantime I've never been anything but adventurer at any point in any game, regardless of skill selection. Its adventurer from beginning to end.
I have several older saves (most of which still can't be opened on OSX) that have various titles ("the sneak-thief", etc), but since 1.0.8 up to and including the current build, I've have only seen "the Adventurer", regardless of character level or build.
This is odd. I do not have this bug at all. All my characters have their proper titles. How can this bug not be affecting me? weird.
Well.. even if "Adventurer" was the title you got when you were near maximum in alot of skill trees, wouldn't your character still be more likely to be magic/ rogue/ or warrior themed, and deserve an appropriate title? As a side note I haven't noticed any unique titles in a while.. and I hope whatever is causing this is fixed soon, since I used to look forward to seeing them when my characters that had gotten far finally died.
All of my characters seem to be "...the Adventurer" too. I assumed it was a problem caused by naming them all the same, but perhaps not.
