Chat Bubbles (nerd-rage...ENGAGED!)

[Tiraelina]

I really don't get why people are so adamant against the very idea of chat bubbles.

I mean, really really big stuff like open world dungeons, people are willing sacrifice their unborn children for.

A chat bubble that can be turned off? Get that mess outta here this ain't WoW!

The best part is that we already have them, for NPC's.

It's also highly entertaining that anyone would be against them from an immersion perspective. I would find it more immersive to just read the chat over someones head in the world than stare at a chat box.

They're no more or less immersive than a chat window.
You don't see chat bubbles above people's heads in real life when you speak, nor do you have a chat window to read it either.
The immersion argument is silly really.

Slapping ye olde IRL argument on it doesn't make it any less immersive when no spoken dialogue is being used.

In real life you would hear someones voice from their mouth or see written text from someone mute. PC's and most NPC's in this game don't have voices. This attaches a location and body to those words.
