Just a note to all those who are having problems reading text, especially on the PS3, please check your gameplay, tv display and colour settings under the toolbox icon (it looks like a suitcase). My PS3 500GB slim seems to lose its Full HD 1080 settings periodically, which means it reverts to Standard Definition, which it has done while I was playing DAI. This is why I had no chance of reading any text or seeing health bars etc.
Believe me it really makes the game change from being totally unacceptable to very acceptable. I also used to have a black band both top and bottom of the tv, so this may also be a clue to anyone who can't read the text, perhaps, just maybe, your PS3 has reverted to Standard Definition also. I have a Sony Bravia 32" Full HD TV with a HD cable and just apologized to Bioware after complaining in several threads that I couldn't read the text. I wont need dinner after all this humble pie!
This could also explain why, throughout several of the PS3 related threads, there seems to be two very different views about the oldgen games graphics quality and whether or not the text is legible. I, for one, can now understand why there might be staggering differences of viewpoint, from being extremely unacceptable to very acceptable.
