Text Size

Is there a way to increase the text size other than changing the resolution? I'd love to be able to read the text clearer without squinting and getting closer to the screen.

Aye! One of the only things keeping me from pulling the trigger.

Got any screenshots? I'm playing on a fairly high resolution and the text is actually quite large (like 15 point and bolded large).

Not saying it's not small, I just want to see a comparison because perhaps there is a bug some people have where the text is rendering smaller than it should be.

Should also be asking the size of the monitor, I have a 26 inch and often times wished the conversations were full screen, not that I had trouble reading, but that it was squished into the corner.

There is a hi-res UI option in the video settings, if you turn it on it increases text sizes etc.

Wow, my eyesight thanks you no end! So many threads on the net about this issue but this is the first good solution I've found.

I'd just like to add that the option is called "Hi Res Scale Mode" to be exact and the option only works if you select it in game and not from the main menu. Well, for me it didn't seem to do anything until I enabled it in game any how. Perhaps because I started the game with the option unchecked it was saved overriding the global option? Who knows, it works now and the game is actually playable without changing to really low res.
