Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback STFU NPCS

This is funny because some people feel like the game is too silent and they want more npc "barks" and quips as you travel around. I said they already do that, but they wanted it almost every time you clicked a target like bg1&2...that is irritating to me as well.

You just care about your stupid apprenticeship!

This is another recurring problem in Larian games since DOS 1 and it's absolutely baffling that they keep failing to address it properly. Maybe they don't seem to realize the extent of it.

They even "fixed" it with a patch in DOS 1at some point, by making the barks something like 30% less frequent or something on that scale.. When that's not even remotely enough. They need to be ORDERS OF MAGNITUDE more sparse, not marginally so.

Like, I don't want to hear about the goddamn apprenticeship more than ONCE in the span of 5 FULL MINUTES at most, not "a bit less frequently".
In fact, probably it's better if you'll let me hear it just once and then shut up until I'll revisit the area another time.

This is good, just if multiple NPC conversations are in an area, don't start them all at once (BDO has that, what a mess when everyone starts talking at once). Wait until one finished, start the next after about 10s of silence. Then don't repeat unless makes sense, like someone selling cheese at market, but even then wait 1-2minutes at least and add 2-3 variations, if not allow 5mins or longer before repeating same line.

You imperiled the grove, though.

I guess I had the same thing as in DOS2. I totally didn't realize it at first . Only on the 2nd and 3rd playthrough this became increasingly annoying.
Up to a point where I talked with a friend about something and in the middle he was like " I don't care! I will do it! " " Mate ,what you talking about?"" I will kill her! I will fucking burn her alive! " " who? oh...wait..yeah that sounds like ...." -> Insert noises of the ' keeping it together bree ' lady dying forever.

From replayability stand point they should totally be made to shut up a bit.
On 1st playthrough of BG3 I didn't even realize there is an issue like this
In BG2 NPC launching their voiceline everytime you click on them felt...artificial.

I experienced this to the extreme thanks to a bug. The kid I saved from the harpies told me to go into that tiefling kid cave, and in there he for some reason forgot I just saved his little ass from dying and kept yelling for Mol to kick me out. So my entire conversation with Mol he was shouting in the background so much he kept interrupting himself.
"MO- MO- M- MOL! MO- M- M- MO- MOL! MOL!"

And it gets better ...
Since when you go talk to them and resolve their argue anyhow you like ... they just move down, to another two vendors, and continue in the very same hassle over, and over, and over, ...
Sometimes killing the groove seem mercifull, compared to listening this. :-/
