Please subtitle all important NPC conversations!

I finally started the Dark Brotherhood DLC, and hunted down the first contract. During the quest, I could hear the NPCs were talking, and it sounded important... but I had no idea what they were saying! I have a hearing disability, and without subtitles, I was completely lost. Subsequent conversation options with other NPCs indicated that my character overheard some fairly important clues, and I wish she could fill me in.

Could you please go back and make sure that all key quest dialogue that is meant to be overheard can be "overheard" by those of us whose ears don't work right? There's been a lot of atmospheric conversation that I really wish I didn't miss out on, but when it comes to key information, hearing disabled really, really need your help.

Thanks!

    Just to make sure, do you already have your subtitles on? Because most of them even small talks from random npc on the map are subtitled.

    ^ Yeah, I think there's like every little conversation subtitled.

    But it would be nice, if we could move the subtitles, because most of the time my interface is in the way.

    My only problem is sometimes the convo you're reading/listening gets overwritten by another nearby NPC's convo you couldn't care less about lol. And you can't rewind!

    You can click on the gear icon on the top right of the chat window and select NPC conversation to be displayed there too :)

    Thank you for the reminder! Yes, I do play with Subtitles on, both in the chat box and displaying on screen. (It was annoying for a while, but I got used to it.) Most conversations are subtitled, but not all. Lots of atmospheric "what people say when you pass them" aren't, and some key quest conversations aren't. It's disappointing to miss atmospherics that aren't subtitled because they sound like they're probably funny, but it's the quest convos that I really miss out on.

    I'm sure that's easily unnoticeable if you can hear, which I'm guessing all the testers could! :smiley:

    If you keep the NPC convo toggled on in the chat window, you can rewind! I do that a lot. :)
