    There are plenty of HUD elements you can make larger in the game, but I can't seem to find a way to the make the NPC dialogue text size larger. The size of the box doesn't bother me, but I would like the text inside the box to be larger so I have an easier time reading it. I'm playing the game on my PS4 and it's a hassle reading all that small text.

    @golguin:

    There's no way to change that text size but you do have an option to have the npc dialogue in your chat box.

    Go to Main Menu>System>Character Config>Log Window Settings>Log Filters.

    Go over and pick the General log and a filter window would come up. Tab over to Announcement and you'll see two options, one is NPC Dialogue and the other is NPC Dialogue (Announcement). Make sure they are both marked, hit your Triangle button to apply the changes and you'll have the npc dialogue in your chat box.

    EDIT: Forgot to mention. Some cutscenes will take away the chat box. Just hit Enter on your keyboard, which I really hope you have, and it'll bring back the chat box.

    I don't have a keyboard just the PS4 controller as it's the PS4 version of the game. Would I need to move the chat box to the center of the screen so that it would display like the NPC dialogue box or will the NPC dialogue box still stay at the center of the screen? I can read the small text in the NPC dialogue box, but it sounds like I would need to make the chat box huge to get the text to display at the size I imagine in my head.

    Here's a link to a very good tutorial.

    I would really recommend getting an external keyboard.

    I think I probably will get a keyboard. My PC keyboard is pretty old so it might be a good reason to get one that also works with my PS4.
