Just an idea I got while having a few "...where did that come from!? Am I confused?! " reactions:
Wouldn't it be better if messages would have the character's name before them? Like this:
Of course, someone would have to add the names in ALL messages of ALL characters, which might end up quite tiresome... but if this idea gets any support, I'll do it, lol.
EDIT: I did it.

Umm, I could implement that in the source code. It would take about 15 minutes and then it would work for every object that is in the game and in every future object added. Also, then the player could disable this in the game menu if we wanted.
Additionally we reduce the chance of any errors from happening. The drawback of this is of course that messages take bigger space than before.

A text bubble would be the best, but more complicated to code...

Re: Idea to improve messages and stuff
One thing I've been wanting for some time would be the possiblity to reply to things that people in towns say... but probably veeeeery hard to code and all, so I understand why it hasn't been done.

That would need triggers, flags and some sort of list of what the character can say to each npc.
