We know that you have been wondering about the status of Dragon Age and upcoming fixes that we will be patching into the game in the future, and so we wanted to deliver an update to the community on the topic.
Since the game's launch, we have been tracking and prioritizing the issues that you have encountered and posted about in the forums. We've created a comprehensive list of these issues and have been hard at work fixing those that are the most critical to your game.
But we also wanted to make sure that you knew the status of these bug fixes and what you can expect to see resolved when the game update is finally released. So, starting with this post, we will begin listing those details. We won't reveal the full contents of the update, as many parts are still in testing and may or may not make it in. But with this first post, we wanted to assure you that many of the top issues you may have encountered are a part of the update and will be resolved.
The following items are just a small set of fixes that will be included in the update. We know that these are some of the most discussed issues, so we wanted to make sure you knew that they would resolved.
• Game saves on Xbox 360 were being corrupted if you sold too many items to the same merchant. Saves will no longer be corrupted if you do this.
• Daggers will now properly assign the dexterity-based damage bonus
• Updated audio drivers to fix a number of audio related crashes.
Keep watching for additional details. We’re packing a lot in this update and have more to reveal!
We can't give you a timeframe just yet. Our goal is to release these fixes in the shortest time possible, but we also want to make sure that this update is high quality and doesn't create any new problems. That process will take time, but we will revisit this topic until then with updates to let you know new items that have been resolved or added to the list.
These fixes are driven by your feedback, and we will keep watching the forums to find issues that we could resolve. What we've listed are not the full patch contents, but things we knew that you were most concerned with and wanted to let you know about.
And with all that said, thank you for your feedback and for helping us identify the parts of the game that needed resolution. Keep watching for more details on the next update and sharing your thoughts!

A quick question - obviously the X-box 360 is included on your list for these patches, but is this planned to fix the dex bug on the PS3 as well?

Yes. In general, fixes will be cross-platform unless they relate to specific issues, like PC crashes.

Very not impressed. Over 7 months and 3 bugs is all you have fixed? That's definitely laziness or incompetance. Modders quickly fixed most and this is all you have done. You should be ashamed that's all you have done.

To be honest I'm more interested in the engine fixes, stuff the modding community can't fix. People still buy Bethesda games and those frequently require community made patches but it hasn't harmed Bethesda's reputation much. Let's just get the game stable again, one thing at a time.
One thing I will add though is that I am concerned about the "Audio driver" crash. Is this crashing shi* related to audio? Or is this just one known problem? I'd like to know how disabling all but one core remedies this issue. Is Bioware absolutely positive the crash is audio related?

AntiChri5: It doesn't matter if it says to watch for further updates. After all this time and (pay attention) they have only fixed THREE bugs.

I'd rather they didn't tell us about a lot of things that don't end up getting fixed in this patch; I've gone through that with other games and the complaints after something is mentioned as being worked on for a particular patch gets pulled at the last minute aren't pretty.

On this particular point, you might consider having someone official maintain a (stickied) list of known issues in each platform's tech support forum. This serves two purposes: (1) it gives the community a list of bugs to watch out for until a fix can be deployed, and (2) it should reduce the number of duplicate threads all discussing the same thing. Since some bugs already have detailed threads discussing specifics, those could be linked for further reading by interested parties.
Since EA tech support almost always directs players back to these tech support forums for answers, it would be nice to have a list of known issues readily available for each platform. A side benefit would be the ability to note which updates fixed which bugs.

Victor: List every bug that has been fixed.
What part of some fixes may or may not make it into the patch do you not understand?
