📋 About This Mod
Enhanced Subtitles enhances your Starfield experience by providing a more user-friendly and customizable subtitle system. With its default preset, it offers a wider display of subtitles, eliminates the traditional black background, and introduces a subtle text shadow for improved readability.
This mod includes various additional features, such as the ability to keep subtitles on-screen during dialogues, the option to maintain subtitles in a fixed position during dialogues rather than changing with the dialogue box, and the ability to customize subtitles for enemy speech.
Every aspect of this mod is fully customizable via an INI file. You have the power to adjust text size, spacing, colors, shadow, background and more, tailoring the subtitles to your preferences. Experience subtitles customization that matches your unique preferences.
