I admit some places its obviously an issue. Ie. After the first orc fight.
If you've ever played Sacred 2 or about any MMO you know all about chronic NPC talking. :P I can't say its 'really' bad yet. Since I do enjoy the voices. But if you have NPCs idling in the same area repeatedly spamming it definitely needs to be addressed. There has to be some degree of cool down.
Indeed. Hopefully this can be modded, so if Larian doesn't do something about it the community can add a cooldown or something.
