Last week Playstation 3 owners got this patch and now it’s the turn of Xbox and PC users. The patch is in preparation for the upcoming expansion Awakening’s and also fixes some minor issues with the game too. PC owners will be glad to hear it sorts out the long loading times. The patch is available now on the Xbox 360 and PC players can download it from the source. Here is a more detailed look at what exactly the patch does:
Various changes have been made to code and resources to support the Dragon Age: Origins – Awakening expansion pack. Most of these changes do not affect Origins itself
Some players were experiencing increasingly long load times. A major cause of this problem has been fixed.
At higher levels, non-player characters now receive a bonus to armor penetration. This mitigates an unintentional imbalance with well-armored high-level characters, since armor penetration previously did not scale as aggressively as armor itself did.
Elite-rank enemies (lieutenants) can no longer be shattered. This preserves the intended tactical design of many combat encounters.
Portraits for summoned creatures (like a ranger’s wolf) were displaying improperly while in the party camp. This no longer occurs.
