  3. Man there should be a link ingame to this video when you start playing, would save a lot of hassle for a sprout. Very nice guide, clear, detailed, useful information for everyone. Never hit subscribe this fast in my life XD

  4. Great video! One thing to note – you can resize almost any window or dialog box not available for tweaking in the HUD menu just by right clicking! I've used this to resize stuff like the character menu, the inventory menu, outfit preview, and even the (non cutscene) dialogue!

  5. Some useful tips indeed.
    I'm very happy to play this game on a curved UWQHD screen though, the added screen real estate is an absolute blessing. I have all of my regular hotbars visible at all times without my screen feeling cluttered at all. Playing this on a 1080p screen though, jesus … you'd need every tip you can get to help save space.
