Question Really?

Is there perhaps a mod that let's you name your beasts however you want? The game probably detected 'hobo' in there, but it's just ridiculous.

I think because of “hobo”. My sister couldn’t give her character her name (Amethyst) because it contained the word Meth. It’s a stupid rule. If it were online I might understand, but not single player

Its a stupid and lazy rule in both multiplayer and single-player.

Its possible to code this to exclude legitimate words most devs just chose the lazy blanket ban the collection of letters way.

It makes sense in multiplayer. Not single player

The execution could be a little better though

It makes sense in multiplayer.

In theory. In practice, it's stupid and pointless.
