RPGIAB Limitations?

I have a few questions about the engine and wanted to ask before I tried tackling a game and realize I can't do what I'd like to do.

Is it possible to create a completely custom in-game menu system? Like instead of showing the inventory in little squares, can I organize them into tabs, and the tabs show a named list of items instead?
Is it possible to create/display custom EXP levels like a Fishing EXP level, a Crafting EXP level, etc?
Is it possible to create floating dialogue/above NPC heads instead of stuck at the bottom of the screen?
Is it possible to create minigames like fishing?

For the 1st one, I have done this! it will take some scripting, and customization. You can only attach one inventory widget and one equipment widget to a player at a time, so if you want more, you'll have to do some work arounds. I haven't messed around to see if you can make scroll bars to move up and down a list (but Im sure someone has done it), so I just used buttons to cycle through different widgets.

For the second one, you can just use global properties. 🙂

not sure about the last two, as so for I've only really messed with UI and Camera related things in RIAB, so I am inexperienced everywhere else. 😆

Bit late but it is absolutely possible to do Fishing, mining, tree cutting etc with the LUA script. I forgot how now as was a while ago I managed it with help from RPGIAB discord so I'd recommend starting there if need help with it.

You can do all of those.
