Font Size in Inventory screen for PC version - Customizable?

Is the font size for the pc version of the game in various menu screens like inventory, journal etc customizable? I plan to play the PC version on the HDTV, and I had to use a mod to make the text in Witcher 2 readable. Any information about this for Witcher 3?

Well, as far as we know, some elements will be scalable. So let's just hope the fonts will be one of them (Or maybe the UI, completely). But a better bet for you would be a dev coming here and answering the question

Way back when the first videos came out, and they showed large fonts, the question was asked and the devs replied that the font sizes were customisable. I haven't heard anything since, but as the latest videos have definitely been a smaller font than those early ones, I assume it's still true.

I hope there will be more customizeable that the font size in the inventory, alchemy and skilltree screens.
Seen the meditation timer? There is definatly a alternative "skin" needed *smirk*

Nevertheless, can' t wait till i have that game

Could you please link to one of those old vids with a larger font? I'd like to compare.

I'm guessing that you meant this @Dragonbird?

Whole UI is scaled up in this one.

Okay, here are some comparison images. The 35 min video does have bigger font (last image), but that was a while ago now. All the recent footage has smaller fonts, and it looks like these will be hard to read if played on the HDTV and viewed from a distance.

Thanks, because there was no way I was going to go looking for it.

@Exentryk. Yes, that was the whole point of having customisable font sizes. The earlier videos were made for presentations at events. Big screens, audience a long way off, large fonts. The recent videos are mainly produced from playthroughs. Monitor, close to the player. So if you're watching on TV, you can use a larger font.

To be honest I personally like the background of the last image (35min demo) more than the simple and clean black background. They made it even more clean and less artistic..... Would be cool if we could CHOOSE a background for the inventory almost like a desktop background.... Well, but that will never happen so.... I guess I'm fine with it, you can't really say anything AGAINST it aside from it being a boring background if it is only black.

I pray to God thats not the final UI for the inventory (the one with blank background). At least not for the PC version of the game. That UI is clearly not centered around using a M&K and will be a pain to navigate it without a controller. Best case scenario would be if they use different UI design for controllers and M&K, but i doubt that. Since they wont tell anything and keep us in the dark about the PC version of the game, this smells more and more like a port...

If I am correct than I read an article (maybe someone can find it) of one who played the game some weeks ago who said he liked it that the UI changed when he started using the mouse and then again when he used the controller again. We do not know to what extend of course....
