Though Dragon Age: Inquisition is bigger in size and scale, it has had very few bug issues when compared with other recent games. However, there have been some bugs in the game that affect the gameplay experience of players and BioWare has announced that the new patch 3 will fix those bugs and do much more.
The patch 3 for the PC version of Dragon Age: Inquisition will be addressing bug issues that had earlier blocked the player progression. The patch will be tweaking the banter system. This bug had for some time brought silence in the party. Its randomness will be lessened and players now will hear more from their friends in the party.
The blockers for Dorian's and Sera's quest, spawning issue in Solas' quest were all fixed. Issues relating to the multiplayer — keys not dropping, Reaver's rampage ability were also fixed. The patch will also bring tweaks to Demon Commander and Strength of Spirits ability.
BioWare has included feedback gathered from fans and has added some of the requested features — key binding, push-to-talk functionality in multiplayer.
It has added a new Destruction route to the multiplayer, where players can be challenged in Elven Ruins, said a post on the official BioWare blog.
