BioWare is still working hard on Dragon Age: The Veilguard, rolling out a third patch on November 21 that brings some nifty updates for both PC and console users.
For those who love taking game photos, new filters have been added to photo mode. Screenshots now come with easy-to-read file names that include the date, and you can even see where they’re saved while playing, which is super handy for PC folks.
And there’s more—now you can use arrow keys for input mappings. You can also compare rings better, see enchantments on your companion’s gear more clearly, and even find out when the Crossroads’ Spirit Merchant is ready to do business. Plus, new weapon icons have been introduced, and the Glint setting description is updated.
In my opinion, fans are pretty excited about these changes, especially the photo mode tweaks.
The patch also squashes a bunch of bugs. It fixes music that would stop for no reason, saves HDR settings properly, smooths out camera issues, and prevents crashes. You can check the complete list of fixes on BioWare’s blog.
