Alright, psionik recently showed me how to remove the floaty tags above every creature in NWN. I have found this enhances immersion and avoids unwanted metagaming. It certainly takes some time to get used to; however if anyone out there interested in this here is how it goes.
Go to Options THen Game options Click on Feedback Options Proceed to uncheck the box Show mouse over Feedback
At this point you will still see the tags only above objects which your mouse cursor is over while hitting tab otherwise not.
And if you really are hardcore, in addition to above:
I would turn this on if more than a dozen faces (and two bodies) existed in NWN, so it was possible for me to recognize people by sight.
If real life was like NWN, I wouldn't be able to tell anyone from anyone. "Well, he is a human, has pale-ish skin, brown hair, and he doesn't have wings... sound like anyone you know?"

Sure, that's Jack Galenson.

Jackie boy has black hair!
And to this idea, I say "try nwn2 first before you start play testing around with this on nwn1."
LOL people complaining about a lack of portraits/bodies/heads mustn't have played NWN2.

Done it already. This is just fine IMO. You don't have to do it hardcore, as I did. I don't get any floaty feedback now. You can set it so when you mouse over it'll pop up but otherwise won't which I think is smart

While I love RPing and Amia, not sure I would REALLY want to memorize everyone's name and looks...
The name lets me not need to be too hardcore when it comes to memorizing little details while representing my characters intrinsic skills in perception.
It looks like a nice thing though for those that are a little quicker than me and can get all this stuff!

Hear, hear. I can't believe they eradicated portraits in NWN2. Made me want to cry.
Have you ever played Knights of the Old Republic 1 or 2? As I've said several times, NWN2 is more a sequel of Icewind Dale II with a 3d engine very similar to KOTOR more then being a sequel to NWN.
Portriats just waste HDD space, they don't add anything to the game.
Back on topic, originally I thought Numbers was applying for a server change to this. But because it's an individual thing, I have no qualms with it. Generally you can tell non-elven characters apart from the way they dress.
Elves and fey just suck so noone cares if you can't recognise them
