A patch for Dragon Age: Inquisition has been released today on PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4 and Xbox 360, with the aim of fixing a number of bugs and annoying issues with the game. I’m going to quote the single-player portion from the official patch notes, though I’ll also note that PC gamers might want to wait for a hotfix, as there are multiple reports of the patch introducing some new graphical bugs into the mix. I should also warn our readers that a particular character’s appearance is spoiled by the patch notes.
Without further ado, here’s what should be fixed single-player-wise:
