How do you un-mute party member conversations when inventory is open.

[Harley]

Anyone have a way to make background chatter such as your party-NPC conversations, to continue when you open your inventory?

When a party member starts talking, I pause to hear the conversation - I am also something of a fidgeting-multi-tasker.. I will inevitably open my inventory and poooof... conversation is muted. If I close the inventory their conversation is usually over or I'll get only the last few words of a sentence. It's maddening!

All other sounds continue, background noise and music continue. Only the NPCs conversation mutes - they don't stop or pause, they MUTE.. so when I close the inventory I only get the last few words in a sentence.

I get the game being realistic in that running ahead would 'soften' their words behind you. But you shouldn't go deaf when you open your packs! If anything, you should be able to hear them better.
