I notice that important npc chatter is recorded in the chatbox but non-important ones dont show at all while i can see it might be cluttered at times but i always seem to catch npcs talking when im really far away so the sound is muffled and when i get closer i only get to listen to part of the conversation maybe add a proximity chat projection thing or something so we can read what they say. Love hearing the npcs talk and i spend a good amount of time just walking around listening to them.
