Animated NPCs that make talking and other motions while they move around life? Sure, I'll dig it.

NPCs that constantly talk about the same thing and fill your chat log? Those can stay home, or have people already forgotten about that little brat Raminel? <_< The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion was just as bad in this with constant talking about people seeing mudcrabs the other day, lol.

I'm all for more realism so long as it doesn't involve dialogue.
