See what I did there?

Odds are that any of you with any interest in videogames whatsoever have heard of Dragon Age: Origins by this point. Well, I was playing Super Mario Galaxy, minding my own business, when my roommate puts me in a headlock and forces me to play DA:O. And now I must tell you about it.

It is excellent.

…

Okay fine I’ll go into more detail. The controls work, the characters are well-rounded, the story is interesting… basically it’s everything I’d hoped that every other game I’ve played would be.

Except for one little thing: I can’t see anything.

Now, I’m not sure if it’s just the TV I’m playing on or what, but a LOT of this game is text, and I’m having a really hard time reading it. Nines and fives are interchangable, names are all squished together, and figuring out what the heck I’m supposed to do for my quests involves a solid ten minutes of squinting and readjusting my glasses. I even tried sitting directly in front of the screen, all of a foot away from it. No dice.

So yeah, if I could read the text, this game would be perfect.
