    Sounds like you've managed to move the npc dialogue box outside of the visible game window.

    Very possible, I had thought of that as a possible cause but couldn't find a way to set it back to default. I even reset my UI settings and it didn't restore it. If there's a way to reset that which I am unaware of I would greatly appreciate some pointers.

    I'm not aware of any way to reset the dialogue box' position, unfortunately. You could try to search along the edges of the screen when the dialogue box should be there though, to see if you can find it and drag it back into view.
