    It might seems nothing to you but it actually bothers me a lot to see towns populated by only unnamed NPCs with no specific dialog options as it is the case in Port Graff and Storm's Reach for example.

    It makes those cities kinda empty, unfinished, and less interesting. Adding quests would be nice for sure, but starting with naming those NPCs would be great!

    Thanks!

    Yeah sure, from time to time it's okay, but cities full of them feels realy weird imo.

    NPCs without specific names usually calls them out as NPCs without purpose, and I'm not a fan of that in general. Players who have been to Tanglemire will note there are less NPCs in town, but a greater percentage of them have unique names and purposes. This is how I'd like to continue making towns in Mistrendur. Also, anytime I have to fix a conversation bug in a Novia or Hidden Vale town, I sometimes update some additional NPC responses and, in a few cases, apply some unique names to NPCs that had none. I don't have time to do much changes of this sort in Novia and Hidden Vale, but it might help to know it happens now and again.
