Updates Character (both NPC+Enemy) visible names to be the actual BPChar name from the game data. Useful for modders looking to make sure they know exactly what BPChar is being used at any given time, and completely useless for everyone else!
Note that the names displayed here may not be 100% accurate -- there's some edge cases where I suspect the game could end up reporting a "base" class name instead of the more-specific one. There's also a few cases where the game seems to insist on showing the usual names for enemies despite my attempts -- for instance, the Splotch adds during Redmourne's fight in DLC4.
Interestingly, many of the stationary NPCs found in the game (such as the Townsfolk in Brighthoof and Queen's Gate) tend to not be BPChars, so they aren't affected by this mod. Those are InteractiveObjects instead, typically.
The mod also tends to break the boss name shown below the boss health bar, during boss battles. The name shown when pointing at the boss w/ your reticle should display properly still, though.
This is also a pretty "heavy" mod -- there's nearly 500 MatchAll-based
hotfixes to try and catch all possible SpawnOptions objects (trying to
tailor hotfixes to only fire when required for all of those seemed
like a daunting task). That doesn't seem to actually incur any
noticeable performance impact, at least, but something to maybe be
aware of.
BL3 version can be found here.

Note that results shouldn't be trusted 100%, but should be mostly
pretty good.
