The ONLY other game that had tiny font issue was Skyrim and it was for the small text like "the enchantement fade away" at the top of the screen.
Sacred 2 had the tiniest font I've seen, and I've played Skyrim. When I brought this up on another forum, they laughed and presented a game with font smaller still. It's a bigger issue than you realise.

There seems to be a workaround for PC users, there is none for console though.
I have Sacred 2 but I don't remember a lot about the text size. After all, it is an Hack and Slash and i taked more time slaughtering rabbits than reading! 
About Skyrim, the text size of the discussion was OK on my TV. The main problem lies with the small text popping in top of the screen. I talk about my own experience of gaming on over 300 different games.
DAI has several problem with the text size. We NEED to read a lot of thing and it doesn't help to have a full caps-lock font. I repeat myself but full capslock is hard to read for our brains. The polnish version has a normal font (they have translation issues, tought).
@PigBodine: I throw words like hysterical around because I generally see the behaviour of people outside these threads. I should point out my argument with Octarin started in another thread, then continued on this one and another. So this thread only got half the argument. Hysteria is nothing more than uncontrolled emotion, it wasn't meant as an insult. I actually do think there's a fair bit of hysteria going around, both in this thread and on the forums in general. But I suppose we'll agree to disagree there.
Regarding me wanting to "win" arguments, you'll observe how I walked away from the discussion regarding tiny text and texture pop-ins, that's my way of saying "fair enough." I'd feel awkward making a post just to say "fair enough" though, it's not really a post full of information. So no, I don't desperately want to "win" arguments.
The rest of your post is awesome and I don't have any response to it.
Ahahaha, you may get a chuckle out of this but I stopped playing Inquisitions long ago - it's not my type of game (more of a ME fan.) Also I stopped being a hard-core Bioware fan after KOTOR, which was a decade ago so ... I don't know what I'm supposed to be cranky about. A certain person's (they'll remain nameless) antics ticks me off, but I'm not testy with you. Anyway I apologise if I misrepresented you in the argument above.
Glad that this has ended civilly.
I haven't seen half the posts, as you said, so I can't comment on who is right and wrong- though Octarin has been nothing but nice to me on here and seems a sane, reasonable human being from her posts on this forum.
Heck, I don't know, I guess I'd just like everyone on here to get along.
Moving on, I agree with everything else you said, except I would say that 'hysteria' as a word has become an insult used in common parlance, especially when applied to women- (After all hysteria comes from the Greek for 'of the womb', the same root as hysterectomy- ie it's root is gender specific and tends to imply an irrational state of mind specific to women and fuelled by their hormones: which is, I'm sure, not at all what you intended to suggest.)
Maybe it'd be better, when debating with someone, to just stick to hyperbole- if that's what you feel they're guilty of, as that has a less prejorative history?
Just a suggestion.
Really glad we worked this out.
Better not be a box of poop cause cards against humanity already did that.
The ironic thing is ME2 was chastised for having small text, and they flat out said they wouldn't patch it. They did, however, say they would do better next time. I actually thought the ME3 text was much improved. Then comes DAI:, and not only is it tiny, but printed in all caps.
I just...don't get it.
I could say "game devs flagrantly not giving a **** about accessibility", but...
Oh, if y'all want a good game to play, try Saint's Row. The first one is garbage, but from the second onwards it's a wild ride. I hear it's a free weekend with massive savings, not sure which platform though. I thoroughly recommend Saints Row 2 through 4.
Back on topic, I'm just glad there's a patch incoming and they've not just flat out given up at this point.
I decided to take some time off this thread. If something incredible happens, please the people we've already talked with, send me a PM. Other than that consider me absent. This is for personal reasons. Btw, if people are curious about the reasons, you know where to find me privately. Suffice it to say that I've been called all the names I could put up with in the past week, so I'm out.

Saints Row 1 was more-or-less a blatant GTA clone with character creation. 2 was very popular with fans since it started to find its own beat. 3 decided to go above and beyond the bar in zaniness, and 4 looked at three and said "psh, weaksauce." That is why the Saints Row series is awesome. I'd definitely recommend it as well.
Back to Inquisition. We've got a free DLC that causes the game to be played with spoken english all the time. Why could we not get a free DLC that changes the text to a larger size?

I have fourth one, love the character creator, gameplay itself is quite hit-and-miss for me, not really fan of FPS's although fortunately whole game isn't that.
What causes the backwards speech? Have to assume its on all consoles and thank god for subtitles after
I haven't heard about backwards speech before.. but I have heard about chipmunk speech (2x fast), simlish (=gibberish) and other speech problems within Inquisition. It seems like DAI has lot of audio problems.
DAI won't compare to the nightmare I had to deal with in Sacred 2 SD in terms of text.
Looking forward to patch 3, I'm keeping my expectations low, hopefully I'm wrong.
After around 10 hrs of playing I had one freeze. Beside rare loud sound crackling, I haven't experienced any other issues. Frame rate is OK and the game looks pretty decent (for PS3). I'm playing with the disc version.
I have a feeling that Patch 3 will be their final SP patch, a big patch that fixes the majority of the issues in singeplayer before they move on and concentrate on the multiplayer permanently. So if they don't adress the problems in the last gen versions in the next patch, I fear that will be it for the last gen versions.
CA did the same for alien, now every "patch" is just dlc, last gen never even got a patch. I hope DAI will be at least patch on last gen, though I wont hold my breath and passo ut and die waiting on BW/EA.
On another note, DA2 is really good, about to finish it and its impressed the hell out of me

Fear you may be right, going to try and spend the next week or so, reminding them we're here.

I tried again Sacred 2 to see the text issue. Now, I know why I don't remember about the text size! I have so many crash, bugs and intempestive loadings screen, the games on my support is almost unplayable! I had more to concentrate on that try to read the texts! 
And the storytelling of Sacred 2 doesn't use the massive amount of texts of DAI! If you want to make a game with lots of texts, try to make it big enough to be read.
See you soon Ocatrin! And I hope to give you good news!

Hopefully they will then promise the refund last gen games and stop selling them as well..
