I love the game so far and have very few complaints. This is one of them. Often in Skyrim people will just come up to you and start telling you stuff, which is fun and can be interesting. But often this will happen while you're already talking to someone else, and so you have to listen to two people talking at the same time. A couple of times during a quest I've not been able to hear what's been said because while the quest exposition was going on another NPC was talking about something else. Anyone else get this? It'd be great if this could be looked into.

You people wanted immersion.. What do you expect from a bunch of Nords?

This is getting on my nerves as well. I wish there was some mechanic to prevent/discourage random passing-by NPC's from interrupting, especially since their subtitles replace the subtitle for the person I'm already talking to and actually want to listen to. I miss bits of sentences very frequently. :/

This is typical in RPGs. NPCs ALWAYS have something to tell you. In Skyrim they are especially talkable.

That's the Nords...always rudely interrupting!

Your not locked into the conversation anymore so just punch em in the face.

My wife's aunt does this too. If there's a fix, please patch her too.
