    With the introduction of this new NPC chat window, I'm finding myself enjoying questing again. It's much more user friendly and well polished even in its simplicity. SotA feels much more complete now. Thank you for this.

    Agree to that.
    Especially all Newcomers will profit from that!

    when I saw the pre-announcement screenshot of the "new" design I was underwhelmed/disappointed, but I do agree that in play it is a very welcome change.

    a small thing I tried to do was stretch the box taller, which seems to no longer be an option, but the paragraph spacing is perfect for reading now.

    I thought a right hand side list would have worked better, but the keywords at the bottom work well. I'm not sure I like the left/right scrolling on them. I think I would prefer it expanded down to wrap multiple lines - and is "name" included as a default like "job" and "health"? It seemed to not be one of the options while I was chatting to NPCs

    All in all, I think this has be one of the better releases I've experienced: Not too big to download; lots of improved visuals and sounds; new enviro art to admire. Kudos to the team.

    Health? if I was an NPC I would be confused at being asked that.

    Just to add to this, something I've been asking for a fix for years is the camera when you come out of a conversation.

    What used to happen was that if you zoomed all the way out while you were walking around, then went into a conversation where it would zoom in, when you left the conversation, you'd be zoomed in to a default level.

    Now the camera remembers your zoom level when you leave the conversation.

    THANK YOU DEVS, THANK YOU
