Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - General UI and Readability

Hi Larian and Forum,

I've been a big fan of Larian since DOS1 and a big D&D fan since elementary school (admittedly, I had no idea how to play then). I'm very excited for BG3! The game is wishlisted, but I probably won't play until the full release so I don't get locked into chapter 1 (assumption based on the DOS2 early release).

Without too much more personal context, I recently tried to play DOS2 again as a different background and found I had to sit much closer to my TV (used instead of a monitor) to read the text and still got a headache from the font size. I checked online and found there is no font-scaling for the game when using a controller--so I either have to get a massive headache or not play. I guess I'm just getting older and need glasses (even though I've historically had 20/15 vision), which I will try to get as soon as I stop social distancing, but I would also appreciate text scaling in the game to make that burden a bit easier even after glasses. Full voice over is good for dialogue, but not for reading menus, item descriptions, etc.

Thank you for your consideration.

For D:OS 2 the UI was not designed to be scalable, and there were issues with the text size with the Switch port, as well (particularly for the Chinese localisations).

will the UI for BG3 be scalable?

I don't know what the plan is for the BG3 UI.

Here is hoping.

I game on a 55" Sony 4k HDR tv. Tiny text is a no-go. I simply can't play games that don't scale.
