Yeah, but just drawing the dialogue box on top of the chat would fix that. I kinda like the position it's in rn, just not that I can't read anything if there are too many messages shown

Do you want the NPC dialogue box to mask out everything that is behind it?

That's just a setting, the background opacity. Set it to 100% and you get what you want.

The problem is that even if you set the opacity to 100%, the chat text still renders over the background, preventing it from being blocked out. The opacity is at 80% in this screenshot but the chat text clearly isn't affected by that
