Has anyone else noticed that ALLLLL the NPCs stare at you during dialoge..And not talking about when they talk to you. Like in the Companions lair when someone is talking, instead of everyones eyes being on him. They all stare at me! Even when I move their eyes just follow me. WTF?! It is a real immersion breaker when I'm trying to do a quest like where I have to get the guy a drink so he makes a scene at the Thalmor Embassy and the guards are all just staring at me wherever I walk..

Yup, pretty creepy when you walk up to two people talking and they simultaneously turn to stare at you.

I think a curious glance towards the player before returning to their conversation would be a lot better. Unless you continuously stand there and look at them, at which point one of them turning and asking if they can help you would make sense.

I think its pretty cool makes the npc feel very alive and aware of what is going on. I dont get too close when npcs are talking to each other out of habit of not wanting to look nosey. So usually i dont get them looking at me if i keep a respectful distance.

How is that human at all? Its more like zombieish that they just all stare at you wherever you walk. Not many humans do that out of respect and not wanting to look wierd. And if they did they would be called out on it. R'jazirr cant even call them out on it. Most he can do is kill them (which he sometimes does) :devil:

I never said priority did I? No I didnt.. Just asking if other people noticed the wierdness and break of immersion it causes. Read the OP before making comments

Wow.. that was totally uncalled for. If you can make a comment that it's weird why can't he agree with you and add that it's just a minor design flaw?

Like at the beginning of the game when Lokir tries running away, the guards just stare at you rather than even looking at him..

i really do think that bethesda also notices all the things that we complain about, except that maybe some things are less important to them.

I just assume it's because they've never seen an orc in lipgloss before.

This never happened in my game. The guards, the captain, Hadvar, all focused their attention on Lokir.

In fact, I've never experienced this "problem" at all. Weird. Like when Ysolda and Olfina are chating, and get near them, they kept chatting like usual, they don't turn their attention on me

Well... probably one of my mods did it...?

What's even creepier is that Ulfric stares at you with that rag over his mouth. He spends a good deal of that opening scene just staring at our characters. It's the creepist thing in the whole game for me.

But what annoys me the most is that our characters cannot turn our our heads to look at NPCs who are talking to us. Our characters apparently have neck paralysis. Everyone in Skyrim is able to turn their heads to look at whoever they're talking to...except us.
