Title: NPCs without names will never get a name tag with "Hide unlearned NPC names" active
Reproduction Rate: 100%
Blocker? No
Details: Turn on "Hide unlearned NPC names". Go up to an NPC that doesn't have a formal name (e.g. Soltown Town Crier) and ask them their name. They will say they are called Soltown Town Crier (or whatever generic name they have). Now that you know their name, they should get a name tag above their head, but they don't.
Steps to Reproduce: See above.
User Specs:
OS: Windows 10 (10.0.0) 64bit
CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz (8) System RAM: 32721
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7800 Series GPU RAM: 2030
SotA.EarlyAccess.Win.64.385.Date.02.26.16
Area: Novia_R1_City_Soltown
Loc: (-26.6, 26.7, 42.9)

 

By design. They do not have a name to learn.

 

Maybe this is better as a feature request than a bug, then. The idea is that there is a visual indicator for when I have spoken with an NPC in town. That's what the purpose of the option seemed like to me.

 

As suggested, moving thread to the Feedback forum for further discussion, lest it get buried under bugs.
