Are you suggesting that Bioware is sitting around sipping wine laced with the tears of the consumers while laughing about how they're doing everything but trying to fix the game? You can not exactly fix bugs by using magic. Especially not since most of them aren't universal (some people barely experience bugs at all - other can barely play the game), and you have both PC and console versions to deal with. All bugs needs to documented, then re-produced, and perhaps re-produced again, fixed, tested then back to fixing again because the fix you did actually ended up having a side-effect you didn't intend, etc etc etc.
I don't understand why you try to defend them in this way. In no way am I a hater, I actually think Inquisition is a great game, it's just infuriating to me that so many mechanics are downright broken and that all patch 3 really did for me was break my crafted shields. Don't give me that "software development is so hard" nonsense, it's the oldest excuse in the book. Yes, there will always be bugs, but ultimately when so many mechanics are this broken, it means they're doing something wrong and they don't prioritize fixing it.
It's because I like the game and have spent a lot of time with it that I've started to care more about gearing and character builds, and I'm finding out about more and more things that are downright broken every time I look. It's frustrating and it seems to me that they haven't really cared about getting the details right.
Heck, I just tried removing a crafted shield from Cassandra, and her front armor rating went up by 5 points. Why? Is it another bug or is "front armor rating" just this weird?
Well guess what, your fans care about this stuff. Even though it may not seem like a big deal, some of us do care if that ability we just picked doesn't always work or if the effect on our new sword doesn't ever trigger. It's especially when this happens in many different cases that it really starts to hurt the experience. You start to expect that items and abilities don't really work the way they tell you, and then why would you want to build your characters?
I'm still hoping they'll take a look at mechanics fixes. Still want to finish that second playthrough after all.
