This behaviour is (usually) related to a mod.
Do you have any installed?
I just saw that all names are existing in mod or "promo" places, but i didnt installed any mods or what, i had them from the beginning, since i installed the game.
I have exactly this very same problem.
I just downloaded Dragon Age: Origins -- Ultimate Edition a couple of days ago. Yesterday I also installed some DLC (Return to Ostagar, Leliana's Song, The Stone Prisoner, etc.)
But in the areas related to the DLC I only see the codes for interactive objects, items and enemies/npcs. This really destroyed the game experience in Return to Ostagar. Leliana's Song seems completely broken. Not even the names of the two followers are showing, there is no single dialogue and when I look into the first chest at the start the games loops the same animation over and over again and I cannot stop it anymore.
This really sucks and I am considering not to buy the Dragon Age: Inquisition anymore. Seriously, I would expect a game of this seniority to run smoothly.
This is really frustrating. I scoured the net but this problem appears to be non-discussed. Is there any solution?
