NPC icons

I am going to assume you already have plans in place to change/add the icons above NPCs

Here is my suggestion for that -

for NPCs that only have dialogue (no quest or reward) - put this above their heads:

for NPCs that are offering a new quest - this above their heads:

for NPCs offering a quest reward:

I agree, except for the quest reward icon. I know it looks nicer than an interrogation mark, but WoW has melted everyone's brains.

They won't understand what's going on unless they see their yellow "?".

What happens when an NPC has a reward, a new quest, and/or extra flavor dialogue? I guess you could use a hierarchy system. I'd rather see something like this in the dialogue option menu next to dialogue options that you haven't read yet.

you could display multiple icons in the case of multiple NPC-states
