I like to go to cities to see players dueling, spamming skills,mystical orbs, flaming in zone and local chat
not listen to repetive NPC lines about 40 times per hour

LISTENING TO THESE SAME NPC WORDS FOR OVER 6 YEARS IS TOXIC TO THE BRAIN

It's beyond me how anyone thought this was a good design. It's also beyond me that in over 2 years the CMs can't respond to this complaint.

'Comrade, a word!''

My assassin character was once in a city (I forget which) doing a contract for the Dark Brotherhood. I located my target and used the Blade of Woe on him. Guess who ran up at that precise moment and shouted that line? Yeah, got bounty. Also, I remember that one time when my thief was trying to pickpocket people near Wayrest Fighters Guild and every time she was about to do it, Bera ran to her and shouted "The Guild requests your help!" Apparently not even stealth can deter her. Oh, Bera, Bera... Her dedication sure is admirable but her timing and ability to read situations need some work.

The quest billboard thing would be perfect for non-current DLCs. After all, there already are quests that are started in a similar way (like the Ravenwatch questline IIRC).

EDIT: Edited to correct the latter Bera quote.

I had a similar experience when trying to complete the Greymoor story. The questgivers in this game are so annoying, they really to look into this.

TLDR: With the whole game on mute, I'm spared from the constant stream of *UNESSECARY LOUDNESS EVERY HALF A SECCOND* From Npcs, my own character, & other people.
_______________________________

At first, I started with muting the game's music.

Then I opted out of vocal area /etc. (Run-by-music-players. /etc.)

My character can't choose to be silent. (Silent protag voices would be the best.) Though I discovered through polymorph experimenting that they are pretty good at covering up the constant "HRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHGH UGH UGH UGH OOF" to a subtle "HISSSSSSSSS CHK GRPHGH" Depending on your Polymorph . . . But such things severely reduce eye candy.

Now days, I don't even bother playing with any sound on. I play deaf to the whole game. People join group & I see their little 'speaking/vocal' bubble in the corner & shrug. If it's important enough they'll find some way to get their point across.

Please please for the love of the Tribunal make these two NPC's shut up....

Just sit and wait. And hang in there... LOL

FYI Stuga continues to strike us even if so many complain about her speech... LOL

i do believe there is an addon called shut up stuga or something similar.

From PTS:
Can you believe it? Dragons! In your own homeland! What are you going to do? Well, we're going to make this scene play less often, is what we're going to do.

Your voices and prayers have been answered for this one!!!!!

I would love to see numbers on how many times some of these have been repeated.

Like the Shad Astula one in Mournhold. Been going since the launch of the game.

We did it guys, we did it

Poor Finedrin. He's showed proper repentance!

Problem is, Finedrin keeps doing it.

Let's address the Altmer Commander and ask him to stop visiting town.

JORA MAKKO TA!

Doing enchantment writs and listening to that intonation hurts this one’s ears much, much more than the dragon discussion

StarOfElyon

"Believe what you like." lol

I don't know. I never get tired of hearing SOME of those conversations.

I started this for Bredrek's patch note this morning. Maybe it'll keep growing.

They just need to anchor NPCs to one location. If it's near a common area like crafting station, we shouldn't hear em but once an hour.

@ZOS_GinaBruno Thanks for seeing our feedback and getting that on the PTS.

I'd like to request the following NPCs be adjusted:

https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Bera_Moorsmith
I propose anchoring her in the Fighters Guild chapterhouses. This will prevent her from interrupting dialogue as experienced in Greymoor.

https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Giblets
Yes, he's a very good boy, but following me around town will not bring anyone back. Anchor him to a 10m radius around the person he's trying to lead us to.

https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Raynor_Vanos
During https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:The_Shackled_Guardian he follows you around for too long and gets in the way of doing things like gather skyshards.

https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Corporal_Bredrek
He follows you around Riften like Giblets. Anchor him after you pass through the gates, no radius, and no mead until he leaves us alone.

https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Zalapu
Ideally, free Finedrin and end this scene. Poor guy. At the very least, can we hear this once an hour at most?

https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Forinor
This deep state dude needs to step off. Preferably in Cormount, waiting by a tree or something.

https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Fongoth
This little tike is chasing me through a swamp like a hungry mosquito. Someone needs to help him stay put.

https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Nilthis
https://www.reddit.com/r/elderscrollsonline/comments/cjxgos/hold_there_sera/
Another flagging-me-down-breathing-down-my-neck type. I'm not Sarah and I will not hold. Can he just stand in one location?

https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Brondold
This dude has literally been stabbed and follows players with preternatural speed - from the docks, up a ladder, and all over city. Can he just stand in one location and enjoy the last few minutes of his life?

https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Curtaros
Ever met the guy who plays that one song over and over and over and over and over at every party? Like he's been playing guitar for 20 years and can do only Wonderwall? That's this guy. Can we get this dialogue to happen once an hour?

https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Llandras_Gathram
This guys is pathed right around the crates when I'm trying to turn in my writs. I turn in my writs in Vivec because I won't want to hear Curtaros sing Star-Eyed-Bride again. While I appreciate that he's killable, maybe his well-being would benefit from not being pathed in my way.

https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Manore_Mobaner
For eightieth time, he says the same thing each every time I walk by the main entrance and side road down by the coast. Can this scene happen in one spot and not have the dialogue triggered everytime I walk by?

https://en.uesp.net/wiki/Online:Stuga
Last but not least. I'm sure she's a meme around your offices, and that's nice, but you have to understand just how tiring this character really is. I don't know what could be done here, short of removing her from the game. Oh. I know. Can we get a Stuga practice dummy? All kidding aside, I know you guys have adjusted her in the past, and it's appreciated, but she is never bearable. Can you guys look at her again? She should never follow anyone around. Ever.

Going forward, I'd like to offer the following as advice for content:

• NPCs shouldn't block common areas like crafting writ rewards, skyshards, or doors.
• NPCs shouldn't have the same dialogue going off every 10 minutes, especially in common areas like crafting areas and hubs.
• NPCs shouldn't be available if the antecedent quests haven't been completed. If a player wants to do a prologue out of order, that's what the store and collections are for.
• NPCs should be in a static place. We all appreciate the setting and world building, but after playing your 10th character, seeing a character hunched over while following you feels anything but immersive.
