I feel the same way. It's like Bioware put no effort into giving basic and expected RP tools to us.

I was wondering the same.

81 degrees is not abnormal for a laptop under load at all.

Just got to give her a good spanking.

Not worth the hassle IMO. Every other MMO has this functionality that you don't think is basic. Like I said, this isn't some MUD from 1993, if you even know what that is. I don't need pointers from you on how you think I should play or how I should spend my $$$.

Frankly, this game isn't so special that it's worth pledging my eternal loyalty to while Bioware takes its sweet time putting in basic RP functionality that should have been there from day 1. Plenty of other online RPGs there to choose from and others coming soon that don't make you fight the UI like it's DIKU MUD if you actually *gasp* want to RP.

Even Neverwinter Nights has chat text over your character's head when you speak. This is online RPG 101 and Bioware knows it. I can't fathom why they have left out this basic and much needed feature.

#1 I'd like some *********** chat bubbles!

This. Same thing happened to me.
