The font really makes the game unplayable. I can barely see anything on my TV while playing on PS4. Any way to change that? Anyone has the same problem?

[tevix]

Playing on a 360, I too have this problem.  My TV is still SD (yeah yeah, I know), and it is a little ridiculous how small it is.  I have decent tolerance for small text considering my TV, but the font used in this game just doesn't work.  It seems small even when I watch full HD videos of others playing on a PC.

 

I actually can't play the game because of this issue.  I realize this is also on next gen consoles, but there's no reason the text couldn't be optimized to work on older ones and be at least somewhat functional.

I was just wondering if it was a last-gen problem only, since I have the same problem on my Xbox 360.

 

Re-positioning the screen in the Options menu made the text barely legible for me instead of totally non-legible. The loading icon is half cut-off now because I positioned it so most of the green arrows/borders were off-screen, but eh.

 

Do you have trouble seeing loot too? I don't know if it's the Xbox's blurry graphics or not.

Funny, the font is needlessly big on PC

It is? I have no trouble reading this PS3 version's text even in a Youtube vid with the screen at the smallest size YT allows. And that includes the tiny text in the little box that shows quest objectives and such.

 

Don't own the game myself, but that YT video doesn't show the text as too small. And that's with a smaller player size. Interestingly, it is too small and hard to read in its embedded form on this forum.

Agree: Font and cursor sizes too small

Hmm...

I'am at 1080 X 763 resolution using my SyncMaster crt. Some fonts (Inventory, Crafting) are so small, not even my

magnifying glass can make out. I thought it was because I used a crt.

On YT the font seems OK - but this is PC. I have much smaller monitor than the TV and I think the problem appears when you have a large screen. Then the font doesn't adjust properly and because of its size is almost illegible. I have to sit close to my TV to see anything :/

I'm playing on a 23" Samsung 1080i fonts are too small on a 23" Synch Master @ 1920*1080 (default) resolution. my 30" TV will not fit on my desk.

Funny... I played DAO and DA2 using my CRT and font sizes was not an issue. .

 

So, Bioware, what did you do?

[Kantr]

Cursor size is fine.

I'm playing on 360 and the font is so small that it is physically painful. My tv is a 40 inch, 720p plasma.  I can't imagine spending hours playing this game without having a raging headache.

[Meggotropolis]

I agree. The font is extremely small. I didn't have this issue with the other 2 games and expansions.....and I don't have it with any other games. I don't think i'll be able to play it for more than an hour at a time without getting a headache. My head still hurts from yesterday!!!

I have really terrible eyesight; I can't wear contact lenses nor the thin wire frame glasses because my eyesight is just that bad. My eyeglass lenses are ridiculously thick. The font on this game is so small, and it's hurting my eyesight. I'm tired of having my face nearly plastered on my TV screen just to read the subtitles (seriously. I have to sit at least 5 inches  in front of my TV just to make out some of the words. I hate my terrible eyesight). And it's no fun sitting on the floor squinting at the screen trying to read stuff. I think I'm getting a workout for my thighs and calves from kneeling/standing for so long. I got the game yesterday, but I haven't touched it after playing 3hrs of it because of the small fonts. Even positioning the screen doesn't work. It just makes the white dots on the screen bigger white dots for me. 

 

My TV screen is 16X27, but I've never had issues with any of my other games when it came to fonts. Just this one. 

 

Thank you EAware for helping make my eyesight even worse than it is now. I'm sorely tempted to go to my optometrist today just to ask if my eyesight has drastically changed because of this game. :|

It's also way to small on my 1440x800 laptop screen... Tiny...

[StingingVelvet]

If you have a small TV or bad eyesight there is always the risk of this. However for the majority I think the text is too big, if anything. I wouldn't want them to make it any bigger, that's for sure. It's one of those things where you aim to please the most people and always upset some.

[masterchief247]

Im playing the PS3 version on a 7ft by 4ft screen with an Hd projector and the fonts are still way to small still.  You have to basically tip toe around the world inorder to not pass up the loot on the ground.  Why didn't they have it glow or something so you could see it.   I have 20/20 vision and have never had this problem in 25 yrs of gaming.  Reading about the character attirbutes was painful.  I don't even want to play it any longer due to eye strain.

[Darkstar Aurora]

Indeed. This game is completely unplayable with this text size. Ability descriptions, War Table operation details, floating text over interactive objects, tactical cam enemy attribute text, codex entries...all are worse than the "lowest line" an eye exam. Only the dialog wheel and general menus have readable text.

I am on xbox 360 and have a SD television so and I knew the graphics, textures, and visual effects would be inferior to the HD streams on next gen consoles. However I was at least expecting to be able to play the game without having to guess the outcome of every time I press the A button.

I have had slightly blurry text issues in Mass Effect and Dragon Age titles before but it was never to this degree always less-critical things, like codex entries that are eigher fully voiced or available in guides/apps/etc.

I basically will not be able to play this game for months until I can afford an HD television or upgrade to a next gen console (and thus purchase the game again, likely without the option for the Deluxe edition). In the meantime I will have to avoid these and other forums like the plague for fear that I may see a spoiler troll and ruin the game before I can even play it.

You would think with such a heavy emphasis on many decision points, side quests, and lore detailed through text (as opposed to voiced conversations/narration) that they would have thought to make the text size either more universally readable or at least implement an option to increase it....

The game is still great....I just do not understand the fixation on making text size such a minimal part of the screen when it is such a major method of communicating critical information to the player..

[FragCzar]

OP is correct.

Not on a CRT apparently. I have a 19" monitor and the tooltips font size can be as low as 3-4

[Meggotropolis]

Please don't flame me for asking this, but is the font size something that can be corrected in a patch? I REALLY hope they can fix this because I (and apparently many others) don't want to have to strain my eyes and get a migraine to play an otherwise great game! I was sooo excited to get Inquisition and it's almost unplayable for me at this point.

[Gilbert Salarian]

I have the same issue.  I've got the 360 version and am playing on a 32" 1080i screen.  To read anything, I need to be within 6 feet of the TV; I had this same problem with ME3 and DA2.  The loot icons and other tooltips are difficult to see even at this distance.  Luckily, using the Search button has helped me locate items because it'll make a noise if there's loot around.  Still, there's no way of increasing font sizes.  Bioware generally puts a decent amount of work into the ambient dialogue, and since I can't always hear it I like to be able to see what's happening in Thedas.  I mean, it is an RPG, not a shooter, so dialogue should be a priority, right?

[marquiseondore]

I have a PS3 copy and a 65" 1080p screen and the font is tiny.

[Iastfan112]

Interesting to see some people on PC have the opposite issue I've had, I find the text obnoxiously large on my 23 inch LCD monitor running at 1080.

[Hate Is A Virtue]

Why isn't there an 'adjustable font size' option? Would that had been too difficult to implement?
