They always over-do the conversations though. I mean, when was the last time you actually overheard a conversation, or made idle chit-chat with people in the street. It doesn't happen. Personally, I'd rather have them all keep quiet unless the player looks right at them, a more natural response.
NPC's are derp as hell though, I went into Breezehome yesterday, and got followed by this gimp who stood at my door and told me he didn't have time to talk... so I tried to encourage him into the cooking pit. I just think it'd be cool to have NPC's give you evil looks, maybe catch them staring at you, untrustworthy NPC's not giving eye contact, people talking about you shut up when you walk upto them. More subtlety, and less mindless chatter would make me happy. Inn's could do with a bit of work as well - like if you go into the same bar all the time, NPC's and the barman should remember you, maybe buy you a drink. Instead every Inn is exactly the same, food all over the place not being eaten, miserible git in the corner acting tough, annoying bard... and it should increase the rest bonus if you went out drinking the night before. I think it would be cool to have a local pub, instead of just another place to sell your worthless crap... maybe a couple more drunken side-quests would be fun as well.
