Im sure this is propably already in game, but just issue with alpha version? I mean it cannot be so that u miss 90% of the story because other people are talking and advancing and u dont even see what they talked about with NPC's?

In case it somehow slipped the grasp of devs, we need a conversation to pop up when others start to talk, which we can then shut down if we are not intrested to NPC's chats, but this is just nonsense, completing the story without seeing any NPC related chat and story parts.

And just couple sentences in journal does not make up for whole missed conversations!
