If you've been playing Dragon Age: Inquisition for any lengthy amount of time, then you've probably run into a glitch or two. This doesn't mean that Inquisition was shoddily developed – it's just a massive game! Bioware, who develops the title, has published a number of updates that improve the gameplay experience, and the most recent has just become available.
Patch 5 addresses a number of issues in Inquisition, but most importantly, it improves the stability of the game world. Everything will be more homeostatic after you download this update, providing a more fluid environment for you to game in.
Here is a comprehensive list of changes made to Dragon Age: Inquisition:
- Fixed an issue that allowed characters to take damage while using the Counterstrike ability.
- Updated abilities to function correctly with front armor rating.
- Fixed the Charging Bull ability so that AI-controlled characters no longer overshoot their target.
- Removed the initial barrier that spellbinders receive when spawned.
- Added an option to control the font size of subtitles.
- Improved archer AI so that they choose to enter melee combat less often.
- Fixed the save game card image for elf mages.
- Fixed an issue that caused certain operations to disappear from the war table without direct player interaction.
- Fixed a crash after use of a Tactician’s Renewal amulet in Skyhold.
- Fixed a conversation where Leliana references being with the Warden to face the Archdemon when she was set to have died in the imported Dragon Age Keep world state.
- Fixed a case where movement audio was muted after a level transition.
- Fixed a case where music unintentionally played after a level transition.
- Fixed a loot exploit.
- Fixed a case where the Quarry Quandry quest could be prevented from being completed.
- Added party storage to the Undercroft in Skyhold.
- Improved stability.
- Fixed the True Grit perk to apply to all party members.
- Fixed the issue where Qunari Inquisitors were able to equip the Inquisition Battlemage armor.
- Fixed an exploit where certain abilities could be used multiple times before the cooldown was started.
- Fixed an exploit with Explosive Shot where indirect hits were not causing the ability to cool down and reduce stamina.
- Fixed cases of the new-item icon appearing on old items after salvaging in multiplayer.
Note that there is also one PC-specific change – the ability to mouse look. Bioware has said that the feature is still being worked on and will not work “optimally under all conditions.” The developer will continue to improve this new tool in future updates.
