I beg you to please find a way to fix the font/readability of all the wonderful lore and  stuff you have written. I know here have been numerous pleas already but I am hoping one more may help. Your writers have I am sure spent so much time and energy creating the words for the game. They just blur and I can read them only for a few seconds at a time - as I squint. I have a 42 inch TV and sit about 6 feet from the screen. I wear glasses (contacts usually - but contacts make it even harder).

 

I just want to know Bioware:

  • Is it possible to fix the font and make the stuff readable - yes or no?
  • If yes, will you fix it?
  • If yes, when,

Blur? Never heard of this. I hope you can get it fixed.

Imagine my surprise when watching this video to see subtitles displayed in a normal, readable, sans-serif font. It was so wonderful. I asked the player and she said that she is playing a foreign language version of DAI with the language set to English and this is just the font that was displayed with that option.
 
It looks so much better it is unbelievable. :crying:
 

Hi! I didn’t change the font, actually, I changed the language. I have localized version of the game and had to force English subtitles on, so language changed, but subtitles still using the same font as localized version :)

 Yes, the font for conversation is fine for me - I believe that fix came out in one of the first patches.  It is the codex entries, the letters, diary pages, the landmark explanations that you find  etc that are in caps and very hard to read.

I think it would be nice in all of these rpg's - Skyrim, DAI and now The Witcher 3 (all have white on black menus) if you could change the menu theme like you could in console rpg's from the 90's, ie: make background not black, or flip it so the text is black on a light background.

I have just bought Witcher 3 so will see if the reading is any better there. I have never had a problem reading stuff in any other game - and yes - just had my eyes checked recently LOL!  B)

Am I right that this is a fairly typical console setup? PC user myself, so I've got no real idea what you folks do.

They do use upper and lower case in TW3. It's odd that any random website can have themes - even my phone has themes for books, but video games with multi-million dollar budgets don't.

I was always taught that readability is pretty fundamental to good UI design. And that all-caps fonts are for titles and subtitles, and should never be used for content.

This is actually one of the reasons why I've not purchased the game. I don't need the aggravation and eye strain.

 I would think it  is a fairly standard set-up.  You don't need to read all the various pieces of information and lore the game provides to play and enjoy the game. It would be nice though.
