Do NPC's repeat dialog bother you?

I am not talking about questing. I am talking about world encounter, merchants, and bank. I personally wish there was a mute npc option where you could pick and choose which npc's you would like to mute and this would not affect any other npc in the game. Mute with on/off so I could turn the npc on later when I was ready to listen to their spiel.

    Honestly, I'd rather them focus on fixing other more important things. It is a little annoying but not as much as say, not being awarded skill points.

    And then not having CS help in any way.

    But yeah some kind of proximity trigger that doesn't allow for the constant repeating would be nice.

    Sometimes. I really want to kill the guy in shadowfen who keeps saying "They say the hist weeps with happines whem an argonian hatches. How can a tree weep?".

    But most of the time I don't mind them.

    Most of them don't bother me, but occasionally one does.

    I downloaded the Banker Shutup addon which as well as silencing bankers adds a mute button to all NPCs you can speak to. I'm not actually sure if it mutes things they say as you go past but it helps with the occasional quest NPC whose voice bugs me for whatever reason.

    I also accepted the Wrothgar starter quest on several characters who will probably never go there just so I didn't have to hear "Do you know how long I've been looking for you?" every time I went to a town. That one got on my nerves quickly just because she'd follow me around saying it.

    I have subtitles on and voices off most of the time. The only sound I keep on are footsteps (for the banner bosses in IC sewers), and the sound effects so I can listen to the bards

    Depends on the voice. If it's pleasant and funny that the Craglorn one it's fine.
    If it's the one wayrest sewer 2 last boss, it's annoying after hearing it so many times.

    Or the female smith, or most characters in Whiterun. This is why you make your own house or use the ones in another city.
    Something about the water.

    No its not as bad as Skyrim, or Fallout 4 for that case. Have all followers in FO4 at one location, pick up so much stuff you can not run and listen :)

    "the woodelf named Fideron is ...." still makes me smile.
    For one ESO npc is not in your face about it, an bit more variation would be nice, would not be so hard as many do the same and have the same voice, and no its not an high priority issue.

    Grinding just make you go in circles.
    Asking ZoS for nerfs is as stupid as asking for close air support from the death star.

    only npc I feel bad for is the quest npc right outside the bank of deshan, if u havent done the quest:

    he will say something like this: "Excuse me sir, can you spare a moment of your time"

    and I just run pass him, ignoring him, feeling like a *** :D

    one of these days ill do that one quest so I dont hear it again

    There's a few lines, mostly quest hook barks, that really get on my nerves. Strugga's been trying to get my lowbies to go to Wrothgar since the new character slots became available, and it's annoying.

    But seriously, do you get to the Cloud District very often?

    My favorite is still "I am sworn to carry your burdens..."

    I smile when I hear these lines. Doesn't bother me when they repeat them. But it may be because I have "By Azura, by Azura, by Azura!!" permanently burned in my brain. :/

    Getting a bit annoyed with hearing the dialogue between Maraya and Emeric at this point but I do spend a LOT of time stealing in Wayrest palace and bank, especially when you can still hear Maraya talking when you're outside the door of the bank. =.= Would probably risk a massive bounty to kill them at this point.

    I don't turn it off because most of it is part of the game background. But when I really, really grind for something in an area or dungeon I get so traumatized.

    Just a few NPCs are annoying, the worst are in Belkarth. Good that 'fancy men' guys are gone now... but most of NPCs are fine and it's quite immersive to listen to them. I have NPCs' voices turned on all the time and even have subtitles to not miss anything.

    This drives me insane in the singleplayer games because npcs drop everything to turm to you and say something every 5 seconds.
