Dragon Age II Beta Patch

The BioWare Social Network now offers downloads of a PC-only beta version 1.01 patch for Dragon Age II, the just-released role-playing sequel. The patch fixes save game issues on single-core machines, the game asking for non-existent drives, release control issues where some players were unable to unlock correctly, and a Steam-specific issue related to VO not playing after switching languages. That last fix is a pretty odd one to include in this beta patch, since there's a footnote saying: "Steam does not support BETA patches. Steam users will have to wait for the final non-BETA patch before they can take advantage of these fixes. We're working on it but, unfortunately, this will not occur in time for the weekend." There is also a typical warning that users are applying a beta patch at their own risk. The patch is mirrored on Gamer's Hell and Strategy Informer.

Again, I don't see this as having anything to do with consoles vs pc, or the orientation of the publisher toward either. It's a dollars and cents deal and for the record, those were Jerykk's words, not mine, though I do agree with him on just about everything he's said.

As I've said in the past, it has good points and bad points, like any game. I enjoy it nonetheless. The story isn't as epic, but it's interesting in it's own right and that to me is paramount in an RPG. The voice acting is spot on with interesting and varied characters. The graphics are much improved over the first with the HD pack.

It takes a step backward in a few departments, a step forward in others and a step to the side in others still. It's still a good, well polished and entertaining game even if it doesn't quite live up to it's predecessor.

I don't disagree that the developers may have chosen to cut corners at the behest of their publisher. I just disagree with your assertion that it has anything to do with the whole console vs pc debate.
