Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback NPC repeating the same line over and over

It seems the evil "NPC dialog played in endless loop" is showing its ugly head again.

When one stands near NPCs, we have to listen to them repeating the same line over and over again. It was my main issue in the D:OS series, and from the comments and mods that sprouted out, it seems to be a shared opinion.

Please let's try and find a better alternative to this! And not only increasing the period of the loop.

As said before, a simple trigger that says the line once when the player moves within range of the NPC would be fine, let it repeat that the next time the player passes by.

I have genuinely no idea why Larian people have so many problems wrapping their heads around this small issue.
You'd think after DOS 1 and 2 they could have learned something about the inane amount of GRIEF caused by having an NPC looping the same bark every few seconds.

We aren't even talking about being "slightly overtuned" here. We are talking about the desperate need to make these barks
1- More diverse to begin with.
2- At very least TENFOLDS less frequent.

It's not only the evil NPC dialog that's looping. Every time I go to camp, after the tiefling party, I hear Halsin screaming 'YoU dEseRvE tO bE BanIsHeD!!!', and he loops it every few minutes. I know he's supposed to scream that at Kagha (if she's still alive) but... there is no evil snake lady in my camp. And I agree, it needs to be fixed.

Even if she were there, that frequency goes beyond righteous anger and well into shouting at pigeons territory.


Which I suppose druids might do.

Hah, you made me cackle.

Buuuuuuut, there are a lot of evil pigeons out there! Aiming for your heads!

Now imagine if they added a pigeon obsessed druid companion into the game... 'aim for their heads pigey!'... mkay I might've gone a bit too far now. Sorry.

Agree with OP. This drove me nuts when I was playing D:OS.
