‘Dragon Age: Inquisition’ Patch 5 Details Revealed


Bioware has released the details of their upcoming Patch 5 for Dragon Age: Inquisition, which will address many of the issues that have been plaguing many players since the game was released last November. The details were released on several reports, as well as a blog post on the Bioware website.

However, it seems that this patch was focused more on the console versions of Dragon Age: Inquisition more than the PC version, as in the update, Bioware has said that there are a few bugs for the PC version that have only been slightly fixed. Bioware has also said that this will be fixed in a future patch, although they didn’t confirm when that patch would be released. You can see a list of all the features that will be fixed in Dragon Age: Inquisition below.

“PC Specific: While we’ve added the ability to toggle mouse look, this feature is still under development and does not act optimally under all conditions. We are continuing to work on this feature to improve it for future releases.”

Bioware has also noted that Dragon Age: Inquisition‘s upcoming DLC Black Emporium, which has just exited its Beta phase, will not be a part of Patch 5.

“Please note that the Black Emporium is not part of the patch 5 release. Thanks to the excellent feedback we received from the people in our beta program, we are continuing to work on this feature.”

Bioware developer Mark Darrah, who is an executive producer on the Dragon Age series, recently said that DLC for Dragon Age: Inquisition was not a top priority, and the Dragon Age team was instead focusing on fixing the many bugs that have been rife across the game, which may be the reason for the delay on Black Emporium.
