Re: 0.7.2 Win x64: %bn[unhandled] in biography
I've tried several times to get this macro to appear in classic, but I failed to reproduce a biography using it. Maybe someone has a classic save or knows how to hack it in?

Thanks, I think I've solved the riddle now. %bn is a random name of your chosen race. So if you chose a Nord, it will be a random Nord name.

Great work guys thanks, so it probably stands for bio name then. I'll implement this soon.

I just reverse engineered the classic function behind the %bn macro, it's a standard random name generation except it uses the player character race, not a random one. In classic, the gender is randomly chosen, but I suppose it should be changed in DFU to be a male name only, because the %q8 token expansion leads to one of the following "profession":
priest
wizard
sorceror
revolutionary
anarchist
warlord
robber baron
assassin
And these are mostly masculine nouns.
To summarize: %bn (biography name) = random name using the player character race and a male gender.

Great work! This has been a very visible bug in DFU videos for some time; nice to see it fixed.
