So I noticed this on my new character... some places where I used to have a lot of idle pvssyr between NPCs have fallen entirely silent. It may just be bad luck with the scripting, but I tested it out, leaving my character sitting in a corner of the Ragged Flagon for close to half an hour while I sat around reading a book, and not a peep from a single NPC.
Anyone else having this problem or know how to fix it?
