KOTOR is an outstanding game overall, but one thing I've found annoying in this game is when some random NPC is set to patrol back and forth over and over again, and they go patroling right by (or worse yet: sometimes between you and the person you're talking with) while you're engaged in a story-relevant conversation that's supposed to be immersive.

And they have that stupid walking sound like CrNcH CrRNCH CrrNCH while they go marching between your character and the NPC in your party having the conversation.

The devs should have put some code in the game to stop NPC patrolling in the area whenever the player is in a conversation.
