But, small problems or not (widespread or not), they still need to be addressed, and BioWare is gearing up to release the second patch for the massive, award-winning game, following the one it received on launch day.
As detailed on the BioWare Blog, Dragon Age: Inquisition producer Scylla Costa explains that the team behind the game has continued to listen to player feedback and aims to release patch 2 today, December 9th, as the first of several updates that will “support your DA:I experience.” Patches are the studio’s first priority, while new features and post-launch content are secondary. An obvious route to take, certainly, but there have been situations in the past where a game receives new content, regardless of pre-existing bugs or gameplay imbalances.
Dragon Age: Inquisition Patch 2 includes a vast amount of fixes across PC, PlayStation, and Xbox, including:
Fixed crash that could occur after some conversations Certain boss creatures are now immune to Disruption Field Creatures in rag doll will now pause when the game is paused Fix to Spirit Blade so it longer triggers combos Fixed a couple focus abilities to be weapon agnostic Fixed a few DA Keep world state import reactivity checks. Fixed a few situations that could result in there being no conversation selection indicator during conversations
Additionally, BioWare hopes to increase the amount of party banter players hear during their time wandering through the game. As it stands now, banter isn’t triggering as often and the developer would like, while players have also reported problems with banter not happening at all. There’s great stuff to be heard from the game’s party members, so it’s unfortunate that some players are missing out. That said, this, and several other things will be dealt with in later, yet to be detailed updates.
Have you ran into any issues with Dragon Age: Inquisition that ruined the game for you? Or could you perhaps be one of the rare few that’s never had an issue? Either way, you should probably install the patch sooner, rather than later, and avoid trouble altogether.
Dragon Age: Inquisition is out now for PC, PS3, PS4, Xbox 360 and Xbox One.
