The recent topic in GD reminded me that this is something I've been meaning to suggest forever, and it's a very simple improvement that I think would help out (especially new) players a great deal: giving NPCs who are quest-givers a uniquely colored name. Say, white. I don't believe that's being used for anything.

This small OOC convenience would go a long way without really sacrificing anything, and wouldn't take much time to do. The longest part would be figuring out which NPCs need it in the first place, with the actual edit being a one-second copy-paste of the color tag around their name.

With the server population low, it's no longer feasible to simply rely on a "just try to find someone to show you around!" method that worked pretty well for years and years. During certain hours, you might not bump into someone the entire reset, or not have anyone available to give you tips on where to go.

Please, please yes.

I'd definitely appreciate this, and I figure that other new/returning players would too.

Let's make them red and really confuse people!

But seriously I like this idea. We need some way to differentiate them, and a given the NWN options colored name would be ideal.

Easy for me to vote yes to, but I don't do the work.

I'll volunteer to do it if the Devs are too buried in other tasks, also.

This is a good start.
