The excuses are very few for not having Text Chat... on any system. Especially when it is most defiantly baked into the Frostbite Engine.
I know it was a typo, and I know what you really meant, but I cannot help but picture developers at DICE in the kitchen baking with the fury of a thousand suns simply to spite Ubisoft and Activision.
So how about Bioware defiantly activating that text chat? Eh? Eh?
My wife claims I never listen to her or something like that.
But yeah, text chat would be nice. I don't ever see it happening since this is a console to pc port though.

Funny thing is, its easier to log and report text chat abuse than it is voice chat abuse.
But in the end, little gets done about it, because toxicity overwhelms any capacity a company has to exterminate it (ohai League of Legends).
As for voice chat, if you were listening closely on December 9 you may have heard the faint roar of nearly every PC player in the world setting their in-game voice comms (self/others) to "off," which is the way it should have been to start with.
Edit: I should be clear that I'm not against text chat being added, but everyone should know that it will lead to more abuse of players than currently exists and that enforcement against abusive players will be imperfect and significantly time-lagged.

You say text chat will result in more abuse. I am guessing you didn't read this thread and see all of the posts of people giving reasons for why text chat would be good. Let me rehash some of them
1. Deaf people
2. People who can't or don't want to speak whether due to disability or lack of working microphone
3. Women wanting to hide their identities from hormone raging teenage boys.
4. Trying to talk over and get talked over by banter, mission guide, and/or other players
To reiterate, there is no valid reason why a multiplayer computer game doesn't have text chat in 2014. The only explanation is laziness.

No text chat in any mp game is just atrocity. There's no excuse.
Am I the only one around here who's purposefully not getting their hopes up of this ever happening, as much as I would absolutely completely and utterly love it to?
I honestly don't see it happening since they are too busy catering to the console crowd these days and adding text chat to the PC would splinter the development process.
Not that I wouldn't like for it to happen, mind you.
That whole "Dragon Age: Inquisition - Made for PC Gamers by PC Gamers" is a load of Druffalo ****.
Having never been a PC gamer, I can't understand the appeal.
Made for peasants by peasants.
Text-to-chat? You people are still living in the age of I386. Where the voice-to-text? How about facial recognition software that puts your face on your character model? How about face-cam support? How about some mo-cap action, that way when I kick my leg up the person I'm facing gets kicked out the game.
You don't know how long I've been waiting for the possibility to punch some1 through the internet...
The very fact you have to bump it is rather telling...

It is, yet we continue to do so.
BUMP!
