Dark, Actually, it's less of an access issue than you might think. As a sighted person, I can skim read the text - but I can't get an impression quickly enough for it to matter. Generally, I don't even bother to look at the descriptions on aggro creatures. I always just figured that if something was aggro, it wasn't meant to be looked at.
If I really need to look at the description of a creature I'm fighting, I'll look at it early in the fight and completely ignore the text when it pops up. After the fight, I'll scroll up and see what it said. Keep in mind that I do this even though I'm sighted and almost always play with full blind mode spam filtering enabled. Combat is messy for all players, sighted or not. I'll have to think about this. There has to be some safe improvements I can make that won't overly damage the feel of the game.
