Dragon Age: Veiled Wardens has now received its first patch, and while I’m sure you’ve seen the Mass Effect Gear Care Pack it adds to the game, you’ll want to check out the rest of the notes, too, because BioWare saved us all All stem from some very strange NPC behavior.
You heard me, and when you consider dressing up like Commander Shepard from medieval fantasy and sleeping in a Normandy version of Milhouse’s father’s race car bed, BioWare did something else that matters. So, stay away from the new ME gear box next to the patch-added workshop – accessible once you’ve completed Hardin’s “Singing Blade” quest – and come read this article with me.

If you look through the patch notes, you’ll notice that one of its bullet points is “NPC necks no longer grow unexpectedly.” I don’t know about you, but I’m a little sad that I never saw this in a game, and glad that it’s gone. One minute you’re fighting your way through rubble, and the next you’re bartering with veiled jumpers that look like giraffes?
Anyway, this isn’t the only interesting fix you’ll find and there are just a few pre-announced by BioWare, as you should find that “Harding and Taash’s banter no longer repeats indefinitely” and for some reason, the studio specified The former “now had her quiver filled with arrows, ready for battle.” Well, Hardin, you’re clearly no longer in any condition to report to work.

BioWare says it’s also “slowed down the speed of the fast crows in Horsberg,” “tweaked the creepy motion of corpses as they move in/out of camera,” and ensured “updates in the Unwelcome Guest mission.” The Lish elf is now a real elf”. Birds, bodies and the odd errant match moment, all sorted.
Seriously, the developers have also made some balance adjustments to certain combat and player skills, so you might want to be careful the first time you jump into the action post-patch.
