I don't think I'm the only one that ends up waiting 10 seconds or so until the chat window fades away so I can continue playing, am I? I don't want to turn it off but often I end up doing so out of frustration.

Can there be some feature when either I can CNTL-click (or something) on the chat box to either move it to another location or make it go away? Or maybe the box could be more transparent?

Thoughts?

You can press space to remove it from the screen, although that doesn't work during cutscenes. I think that the game handles it the same way it handles speech, with the character speaking it in one corner of the room.

Well that's easy. Thanks. Though I still think it would a useful function to be able to determine where the window comes up and change that preference on the fly.

I think it would be nice to have a way to remove chat during cutscenes, though.

I definitely agree that the box should be made more transparent.

Or a way to make the chat not interfere with cutscenes...but that's probably more doing, because cutscenes can interfere with themselves.

Having pressing space in a cutscene with the chat window up probably should close the window, then hitting space should escape the cutscene.
