In the vast universe of Starfield, you can recruit many reliable and skilled companions to join your crew and help you explore the galaxy. One of the earliest companions you will recruit is Vasco, a robot owned by the Constellation organization designed to aid space explorers.

Aside from Vasco’s exceptional combat and exploration capabilities, what makes him stand out is his unique ability to call you by your name. When you first create a character, you can design their appearance, and give them a name of your choosing. If your name is part of this list, you'll actually be included in the game's dialogue occasionally, as opposed to simply being referred to as ‘captain’. Vasco will primarily refer to you by your PC’s given name if it is registered in its databanks, akin to Fallout 4’s robot companion, Cogsworth.

Recently, data miners have discovered (via reddit, @IdleSloth84_) the full list of names that Vasco can refer the player character to in-game. We have organized that list to help you find out if Vasco will be able to say your name and enhance your immersion in one of the best Xbox games and best PC games of 2023.

Can your name be spoken by Vasco?

NPCs being able to call players by their real-life name, is a small but very effective way in immersing them into the game’s world and have them connect with the characters on a personal level. However, is this just the tip of the iceberg as there are many more engrossing gameplay aspects that will you suck into Starfield’s world and make you feel like you’re living the life of a space adventurer.

There are planets with unknown alien lifeforms to find, intergalactic factions to choose sides with, ancient temples hiding otherworldly powers to obtain, and many wondrous secrets to discover that make Starfield one of the finest games we have reviewed on Windows Central.

If what you have seen piques your curiosity, and you can't wait for Starfield's official release date on Sept. 6, 2023, check out our guide on to play it five days early via Early Access.
