The reason for it was for criminal/subterfuge activities, such as the assassin. If the assassin kills a guy he shouldn't be immediately known to the victim, same can be true with bounties and bounty hunters.
The assassin or spy in particular because if their name is known possibly who they work for is known, and at that point it almost ruins the reason for a spy or an assassin. You do things in hush hush part of the time to hide who is doing it.

Not meaning to "poke the bear" here or anything. The only time in the last demo video that any character info was displayed was when the viewer had the other toon targeted. Have they said that names and things will be hanging displayed (otherwise) in any released info?
I haven't read what they intend, Bringslite. But a word spoken now may be timely if there was any question.

Based on the current system both the spy and assassin would be experts at making disguise kits based on clothing or armour. This will then give them a generic name and reputation (and alignment I believe) that fits midway into the Settlements range. These disguises would be good enough to pass a quick trip to a store and casual interactions with others around the Settlement. The more the disguised character interacts with others the more likely he will be discovered via an opposed perception-type roll.
If an assassin is successful in killing his mark, then I would expect that the victim wouldn’t be able to place a bounty on their head, as the assassin has operated within the rules (as we currently know them). Anyway that I remember from the blogs, though I could be out of date.

Personally if I was going to speak to someone I'd include written emotes in my chat bubble text.
*Looks the man over in green armour, her eyes seeming to linger on his defined muscles and great axe on his back, before flicking to meet his eyes with her own piercing green gaze* "Greetings stranger you may be just the man I need for a delicate mission?" *an amused smile flickers briefly on her heart-shaped face*

I really wish I got this reference, never heard of a Harlequin Romance. Since I don't get it I'll laugh along politely and pretend I do.
Hahaha ROTFLOL

Use to work as an Assistant Manager in a book store in my younger days.
Harlequin Romance books are obviously romance novels that are about 'Feelings' without erotic elements that have become common in some romance novels.
