If BioWare were to make a good effort at fixing most of the issues with Dragon Age to date, such as the Silverite Mines, pretty much everything else in Awakening, the DLC transfer issues, and all the gameplay bugs/issues that have accumulated, we'd be looking at something along the lines of the upcoming patch for Divinity 2, i.e. a total rehaul of the game.
Now, with Dragon Oh Dear 2 coming in March (Assuming no delays happen), it's unlikely it'll happen. Outside of the upcoming ultimate edition, there's no more Origins releases happening and it could be seen as a no-win situation, i.e. it costs them money to patch the game without making much money from it as most of the sales are likely secured.
Should 1.05 happen? Yes, it really should. But will it? I don't know. Possibly, but I wouldn't expect it to be ground breaking this close to DA2.
I strongly feel this is the reason they have decided to stop all dlc and moved on to DA2.
The game should be patched properly, are all fixes necessary? No, but the silverite mine bug is a game breaking bug. I never had the bug until 1.04. The patch did not work for my system, it did help with the crashing issue. I still have memory leaks but not like they used to be. They can't patch the game per every type of computer and system out there, but the silverite mine bug, is an issue that nearly everyone is having, should those that own Awakening expect a proper patch, yes we should.
It's their product and it should not be left up to modders to fix game breaking bugs, it's their responsibility. Since they don't seem to have a problem with offering products which offer game breaking bugs, a la silverite mine bug and it really showed with witch hunt, this points to accountable in the quality assurance department. Which in turn points to reputation, if they wish to stand on a cliff in regards to not properly supporting their games, then we the consumer can give them a shove right off the cliff and not purchase their games. If they want their reputation spoiled over not properly supporting major fixes that type of word gets around and I've already decided before I purchase anymore of Bioware games I will watch the reviews before any purchase because what has happened with Awakenings and Witch Hunt. It really is a shame because DAO is a fantastic game.
I still haven't gotten an answer over the 1.1 version for purchasing the dlc WH. I still haven't purchased this dlc because I can't get a straight answer regarding the patch. If you purchase the dlc do you still have to download the patch or does the dlc come fully patched for purchase as of this date? Is this question really that hard to answer?

Neither EA's nor Bioware's own webpages to purchase this dlc has been updated to offer this information. Heck, I was checking EA's website yesterday....their support page for DA and they haven't updated that page since patch 1.03 came out. Unbelieveable.

I also don't like the fact that the old versions of patches are not offered on their website.
