DA:Inquisition - Beta Patch 5 released

I love how Origin uses the word "entitlement" for their download and DLC stuff on Origin. It is just funny to me. It is such a loaded term that marketing teams avoid it like the plague, yet it gets used here in such a totally incorrect way. Get your entitlement patch! You deserve it! Anyway, the joys of misused English language.

I don't think they're just morons. I think they are actively hostile towards their customers. Some of them anyway.

Wheeee!
Yeah, I've seen that in the "distant" past. And I've also seen those people no longer work for them afterwards, too.
EDIT: I have to say though, that the forums over there, really attract some of dumbest posters I've ever read. It's a wasteland.

The whole thing is very interesting.
We'll never know if EA decided it's too expensive to do a proper inhouse betatest or Bioware got so out of touch with reality and believes DX crashes are not annoying so they had to "recruit" the community for this.
There is a third option here too. IMO most probable one. Maybe Bioware's ingame betatesters can't do those bears in one more runthrough or they'll end up in a nuthouse.

The only annoying enemy for me in the beta, is the game constantly pausing on its own. Well maybe dragons are a little trying at level 20.
I did get the impression that DA:I wasn't finished, even in Jan, when I played it. Reckon they just had to throw it out for the Christmas market and it could have done with another six months to a year of development to fulfill what Bioware had really wanted to do. For instance the war table doesn't do a lot - I reckon they had probably planned some sort of strategy layer that never made into the release.
