This is a huge problem for ALL console players. I've read a lot of posts on EA's Answers HQ about everyone with every console having huge issues being able to read any game text. For both standard def and HD tvs. I myself have the ps3 version of the game and yes sadly a standard def tv as I can't afford to get a nice hd tv and you unfortunately cannot hook your console to a laptop as the video is output only.
So I suggest making an update (for all consoles of course probably pc too so they can have the option if they need it), to first off make a general increase in text size overall since there is so many different sizes of text in the game. And then add sliders in the options menu to be able to increase (or decrease) text size further so everyone can adjust the text size to perfectly readable levels for themselves. Also for subtitles and the dialog wheel while the black behind the text is nice there should be a slider to make it less transparent for easier reading when on certain backgrounds and also make sure the black behind the text is as long as the line of text! I have had this be an issue with options in the dialog wheel (don't know if it's a problem with subtitles as I cannot read those at all). Where it's hard enough trying to make out what it says because the text is WAY too small but also the black behind the text isn't always long enough.
I find the game to be really fun, but it is extremely difficult to play when you can't really read almost all of the text in the game. I find that I have to rely on the wiki and IGN's walkthrough to be able to really play. So that I can actually read what I'm supposed to do for quests, or to see what the heck I'm picking as upgrades for characters, and even to have a clue as to what I'm doing at the war table since I can't read a damn thing. And a big one being when making or upgrading weapons or armor, can't really read the names of the weapons as it is, can't really read what ingredients I'm trying to use, so I have to use a guide that tells me what the item is and what effects it will have, so I have a chance at making something good, cause the text for all of that is even smaller than other text in the game.
Also with those star puzzles, the uh Astrarium puzzles the image of the solution is WAY too small as well, I cannot even see all the lines in it so I had to do a google search and found a site that gives the solutions for all of them with numbers telling you exactly how to complete them.
Map icons should also be made bigger or have options to select a few different sizes for the icons, and of course the icons and text for both the maps themselves and for the legend are too small. Making it hard to figure out what the different locations are.
