My player name is the annoyingly generic "steamuser" and I can't find any setting to change it. In the non-Steam-ified version this was done in the Multiplayer menu under setup but that menu option does not exist here.
This is running on Linux and I get an error connecting to Bethesda.net every time I start the game, but it works fine in singleplayer at least (haven't tried multi). A guess might be that this Bethesda.net error is why I can't find the setting, but that is just a guess. So…
How do I change my player name?

This all came about because of not being able to connect to bethesda.net
I changed the proton version to specify 6.3.8, That allowed me to connect and then everything worked.
(Previously I was using proton-experimental)
