Thanks Bioware, so good to hear this, sounding very good, and includes some of my top wishes= mirror, storage, better armor tinting 
! And the new schematics, oh could that mean more armor variety ? Hoping the mirror might come with some new hairstyles too !
Happy to hear from you, keep up the good work.
Give advanced tactics and this game is flawless.
Anyone know if the 'auto-attack key for singleplayer' is forced over the left mouse key or just another optional key thing?
Cause I actually like the 'click to attack with left mouse thing', and I don't want mine removed for automatic attack

Hopefully they'll add in a way to shut off auto-attack for those that prefer it. It seems like a fairly simple thing to add a toggle for, and I've seen it in other games.
Personally, I'm very happy to see it back. Especially for lower levels when I don't have many abilities, and that's when I spend most of the time in combat hold down the left mouse/R button.
It's a Beta. Look at the bright side. We PC players will be testing the stuff you'll get in a ready-to-go shape.
The Beta should have taken place BEFORE release, cross platform. No excuse.
This is the modus operandi: they release a skeleton-placeholder shitty game that is riding on its hype that had built up for years (not the first time, the same happened with SIMS4 btw, and with SWTOR), without QA, without Beta, to catch the November sales. They let us realize how broken it is for a few months, and end up begging for things (kinda like a bad Dom) and then they throw us a bone, a bone that should have already been present to begin with, and, because we're so damn thirsty for it by now, we see it as manna from the heavens, and have an orgasm at the mere scrap. It isn't manna from the heavens. It's a scrap.
It's good that they are fixing some things, this goes without saying. It isn't good that they are four months too late. It isn't good that they have still lied about the quality or the playability of the game on the majority of old gen consoles. None of these issues are liable to get addressed. Yes, you guys will get new haircuts, storage and the BE. Good for you. We STILL can't play, fullstop. No matter how much "beta-ing" you do, if I can't play technically, it's useless. There are deaf people who are complaining about the text sizes, for example, you'd think that issue would have been a priority. You'd think wrong.
So, allow me to not bite on the bone they're throwing us, and be skeptical till I see what's coming.
i'd say too little to late
but this isn't even a little
who cares about the BE?
I have unplayable files
5 files hit with the banter bug
armor and shields giving me 0 armor
keep not uploading my world states
tons of issues with the ability rings and skill trees
wtf is this bullcrap
BLACK EMPORIUM
Oh yes
Overpriced bullcrap or LET ME GUESS
all the locked bugged and unobtainable t3 schematics
are sudden 'fixed' because bioware:
A] was holding back to hold them as DLC
or
B] they actually fixed the bugs and RNG system
or
C] realized Plan A was stupid and transparent microtransactiony bullcrap and is now going to have them sold in the Emporium instead of fixing the drop bug and the shitty RNG system
And getting gold in this game is a joke
Black Emporium Made you really struggle in DA2 with your Gold in Act 1 because if you went shop happy you had to take dugal's offer.
What's going to happen make some items 30 40 50K gold?
Dupe glitch / chest glitch / cheat engine / gold war table missions + fastforward the clock
Oh wow you will sell us an amulet of power?
i can dupe those to the point I have every passive that gives me a +3 stat in the game and walk through everything on nightmare
unless the emporium has weapons that are stronger than the craft weapons at level 25 [good luck trying to put 500/500 + masterwork skill daggers in the game or a 200/200 staff with ex: walking bomb effect into the game]
More backpack space?
that's a maybe to save a perk but really backpack space is a waste in this game since you will be chest refreshing because schematics
Come back when you've fixed the game instead of having to bribe players to start playing again because of a free DLC that in the end is meaningless because all this DLC will do is save players time in a game that is a giant empty wannabe MMO.
Remember you made drop systems, the rng schematic system and the crafting system.
All of those merely make the game more grindy.
all this DLC would show if that you are admitting the game is to grindy and you are going to sell items to make the game easier while attaching false promises and some bug fixes.
I've still got that bugged 60 hour playthrough that won't load at all through autosaves and manual saves and and in another 70 hour file I'm stuck in Wicked Eyes, Wicked hearts and the florianne / rift scene won't trigger.
Seriously.
It's been 3 months to the DAY of this games release and you are still finishing it much less patching it.
They also aren't addressing the mouse binds like first stated. Apparently basic game design and programming is too complicated for the devs working on DA:I.
Awesome a patch for a store that I won't be able to use because your earlier patch completely broke the game and created massive memory leak so the CPU max's out and freezes all the time... I've had it... I'll be demanding my money back under Australian Consumer Law...

lucky you
us americans are flat screwed
Great that they are doing this.... I don't have a problem with RNG system but some itmes are very very hard to find like the Dalish Warrior armor. Any chance that these rare schematics will be added to the emporium ?

prolly what they are going to do since alot of schematics and armors are unobtainable without a cheat engine

Are you talking about them being actually dummied out of the game (as in the files are still there but they aren't accessible by any means including grinding for mobs or getting lucky on a drop,) or are you talking about the crappy RNG for those rare drop higher level schematics? I've had no problem getting schematics for even higher levels on my characters, without grinding.

Really? I don't think there are more than a handful of unobtainable schematics, if that, but getting all the higher-tier stuff I wanted took me 80k gold and at least four hours of farming. I kept getting stuff I don't need, such as what felt like a million upgrades for two-handed swords and daggers (which I don't use - I even spec my companions out of them). I heard just yesterday that there is a Dalish warrior armor schematic - which I've never seen in five playthroughs in spite of all the farming.
The Beta should have taken place BEFORE release, cross platform. No excuse.
Gee I wonder what this will break...
A Beta on one plateform only? And a lot of hope it work on all the 4 others? Okay, we can already wait on patch 6 to patch the patch 5 on consoles.
TL;DR Planning, getting management buy-in for, and running a beta, and preparing to go back and fix things the beta might expose as broken, is a gigantic win for everyone, and speaks very highly of Bioware's going to bat to get this done. And get it done right.
That wasn't my point. My point was that we shouldn't be beta testing huge changes to the game 3 months after it's been released.
I am glad that Bioware realises big changes need to come to make this game the 10/10 GOTY it is supposed to be (it isn't anywhere close).
I am not happy that it's coming 3 months after release. And that it will almost take another 3 months for the game to be in a good state.
Hard to do a beta of a patch before the patch exists. I agree it'd be a great time-saver, though.
The GAME was never Beta-ed. This is what we get instead of the needed pre-launch QA. Beta NEVER happens in any form or manner post-release, cause it defies its purpose. Beta exists to crash the game repeatedly to see where it leaks and fix it, before you release. Beta happening after the release is a joke. A very cheap joke actually, but fine, let's call it "patch beta", to try and save face. But anyway, a fanboy like you isn't ever going to admit the Kings and Gods do things wrong, so I am even wondering as I'm typing why the hell I bothered replying in the first place. Whatever.

To be fair here Flash, alot of people have been chimming in asking for the Black Emporium or something similar to be included. Sure, they're treating us like dirt, but people who can play the game will be getting something that was asked for.
LOL, I just started a new playthrough and found that I didn't like my new character's hair color after I left the CC. I also forgot to change the tattoo colors. I hope the patch will be mostly bug-free from the start to that the beta doesn't take long...
So for Black Emporium on PC I have to buy gamepad and see another horrible console menus design?

Don't be silly. The shots are from the console version, but of course we'll use the PC interface in PC versions.
