Scale NPC chat window with the rest of the UI

I'm playing on a PC connected to a 60" TV and sitting about 8 feet back from it. While the game looks great, the default UI and font size are just a bit too small for me to make out the details at that distance. Fortunately, there are options to scale up the UI and adjust the log size, so this isn't really an issue... except that neither of these things affect the NPC chat window size, so I have to lean forward and squint to read what's going on whenever I talk to an NPC.

I could see this also being a problem for people who have physically small but high resolution monitors, or for people with poor eyesight. Would it be possible to have the NPC chat window scale with the rest of the UI, or add a separate option just for adjusting its scale?

Yes... the NPC dialog window should be able to scale larger (and smaller). At 2560x1440 the window text is very small. At 3840x2160, it's incredibly small.

This was already requested numerous times (and in a huge wave again after PS4 version release) and Yoshi /devs already promissed that they're looking into scaling of the NPC dialogue text / windows as well - so hopefully soon ...

The weird thing is I recently changed from playing on PC to PS4 and I noticed straight away that the NPC-dialog window had bigger fonts. Also, the XMB-menu seemed bigger/larger fonts. I play on the same 1080p 50"-plasma as I did with the PC-version and I played in native 1080-resolution on PC (and on the PS4).

The PS4 version might be running at 1280x720 or 1600x900. I'm not sure I don't have a PS4. I have seen people streaming the PS4 version to twitch, where it was clearly running at 1280x720, but this may have been do the television have a native resolution of 1280x720.

I think the PS4 version defaults to having every HUD element scaled to 120% instead of 100%. Possibly larger fonts as default as well, can't quite remember.

I think it's running at 1080p but there is an option in the settings to run it in 720p (I have not ticked this option).

The default was 140% but I changed it to 120% straight away.
