Dragon Age: Inquisition Patch 9 Notes

 

August 10, 2015

by Sean Trayner

 

The upcoming Patch 9 for Dragon Age: Inquisition contains a number of bug fixes and improvements to multiplayer.

Patch 9 introduces Pala, the Silent Sister, a new playable multiplayer character. A member of the Silent Sisters of Orzammar, Pala is a zealous dwarven warrior with an unwavering dedication to the art of war. Pala willingly chose exile to join the Inquisition in its perpetual struggle against the enemies of Thedas.

 

In addition, some platform-specific issues were resolved, including graphical issues for PC users with AMD Crossfire dual GPU and Mantle.

 

Patch notes in other languages available here.

==============================

Dragon Age™: Inquisition Patch 9

==============================

Fixed an issue where resetting options of any category could also reset the game difficulty.

Fixed an issue which could cause Multiplayer potions to be consumed if target mode was entered and cancelled.

Fixed an issue which could cause the Yavanalis staff headpiece to not display in Multiplayer.

Added a hot key for Salvage in Multiplayer.

Fixed some issues that caused some localized text to not fit in their proper display areas.

Fixed an issue that could cause XP and other stats to double in Multiplayer.

[PC] Fixed an issue which could cause on-screen flickering when using AMD Crossfire dual GPU and Mantle.

[Xbox One] Fixed unnecessary “online connection” popup at game launch

[PS4] Fixed an issue which could cause the game to become unresponsive when losing connection while joining a full Multiplayer session.

- Also Heartbreaker now has Red Templars and Demons.

 
Additional notes on Pala:
- Pala uses daggers.

- Pala is a hybrid warrior/rogue kit.  Lore is warrior, opens rogue doors, has warrior and rogue abilities.

- Pala will promote as a rogue, we're working on getting her to open both types of doors, but for now, just rogue.

- Those are tattoos... not mutton chops. ;)

It's all I got.

 

However... they often sneak things into these patches that aren't documented.

 

(and ninja'd-ish... sorta. :ph34r:)

holy crap, for a moment there I thought "Elvis lives!" but it's not Elvis, but a passable Dwarven replica.  Interested to see what this new character is all about.

I'm assuming this is the only thing that'll be live today from the upcoming DLC.

Serious question: is this a roundabout way of introducing a new character without recording dialogue?

Is Pala the only new agent for this DLC cycle, or are we going to see a staggered release of some more characters? Even if we count the Silent Sister as both a warrior and rogue, there's still the mage slot we need to fill.

 

Come on BioWare, I need my Awakened Darkspawn and/or Mabari fix!  :lol:

Don't need an excuse to put a badass female dwarf in the game.

So Pala can equip both daggers and one handers with no restrictions on what weapon in main/off hand?  Or have to do the whole one hander/main dagger/off?
