I think something subtle (whether thatās in one of the bottom corners of the screen or in the top middle, would be nice, once the person is known).
I donāt know how all the character interactions are going to pan out, but I think the first interactions with someone should involve, depending on who youāre talking to, some cordial introductions and the next time you talk to them, their name is already present on your screen, and they may say āhello againā or tip their hat/helmet to you next time they see you, etc.
I think it would also be a nice touch that if you see a guy working as a blacksmith, as you initiate a conversation, his placeholder name should be āblacksmithā, until replaced by his actual name, should you be made known of it.
That way if you happen to run into him at the bar later, you have an idea of who he is.
