Hello,
I've been playing on an XBox 360, deluxe edition from disks. I never logged into the internet so I could dodge patches until I was sure they were not game breaking. Game has been working fine for me without any patches. I save frequently but only had to resort to a previous save once. I have been watching the patch updates and noticed that with 5 things appeared to have been getting better and I haven't seen any complaints on six from any Xbox 360 users so last night I updated.
Initial results?
Visuals: Improved, sharper than it was previously. I did notice the floaty beard thing in the guy with Hawke, yeah that looks dumb but was just a brief annoyance.
Audio: Less Banter than I have been having in other worlds. I went to Crestwood for the first time last night, maybe this is normal for this place. It was not non-existent, just less.
Amulets of Power: I picked up four of them in the fight to claim the building you need before you go to the dam. So they have not poofed for me. Seemed a little excessive to be getting so many. I don't really know what they do. These were generic, did not seem to be assigned to anyone.
Loading. Initial loading time subjectively seemed slightly faster. Loading in between scenes seemed slightly longer, again no clue if this is specific to Crestwood or the new norm. Regardless it was not so long as to be terribly annoying.
Patch 5 features: Storage at Skyhold and tinting both work fine. Tinting is a little annoying in that I thought we would be able to be more freewheeling with the color choices, but that is not a bug.
Tan pajamas??-Missing: I don't know what you all are talking about. Everyone is wearing their usual garb in Skyhold.
