After watching recent IGN video about Gothic Remake it seems the problem still remains.
My feedback:
-
NPC names should not appear at all unless you are close enough to talk to them, then the talk button and name should appear at the same time.
-
If you are not facing the NPC you should not see their's names. Screenshot 1 example: We should not be able to see Orik's name when we are trying to talk to Lee.
-
NPC names should not appear if camera is blocked by objects as seen in screenshot 2 and 3
All this things would make the game more immersive and reduce the clutter on our screens when playing instead of seeing like 5 different names and dialogue boxes when in crowded place for example.
