Would it be possible to add a setting to remove the black bars during dialogue ? It gets in the way during scenes as you can't see almost half of it. Having to press H every time when it isn't even for text is annoying.
Additionally, it'd be great if there was a map button in the corner so we didn't have to click leave several times to access it depending on where we're at.
Unfortunately not, the black bars are supposed to be part of the scene.
The scenes are created with the black bars in mind, so the parts obscured aren't really meant to be shown.
My apologies, I know this isn't the response you wanted.
Edit - A Map button is a great suggestion, will be included soon.
