Where does the info come from? There are various sources that report on the change in NPC dialogues when the mini-map is turned off. Besides Rockstar Intel, YouTuber LegacyKillaHD also reports on this feature. He claims to have received this information from the Belgian magazine Gameplay, which reportedly covered this feature in their magazine.
