An upcoming patch for "Dragon Age: Inquisition" will be the biggest release by BioWare, and the game studio is giving select PC players the chance to try it out. BioWare will be opening registration for its Patch 5 beta program not only to bring players into a closed, developer-like environment, making the identification of future issues easy, but also for the developer to get in touch with its fans. 

"For Dragon Age: Inquisition, we've developed a faster and more compressed patch schedule than any prior BioWare game," the developer stated on its blog. "However, due to the nature of the certification process, it can often still take weeks after developing a fix to release it on different platforms. Because of this, we continue to explore new ways to foster better communication between our players and developers." 

Within the patch is a special underground market known as Black Emporium with four high-level stores that offer "epic weapons, powerful accessories, new crafting materials and schematics" and special items such as the Mirror of Transformation that allows players to change their appearance and even their voice. There is also a new binding system included in the new patch that will support additional mouse buttons and auto-attack binding for single player. 

Patch 5 will also allow players to adjust the size of the subtitles, improve shade quality for more precise optimization, change the color of items through the crafting system, and a new Party storage for Undercroft in Skyhold.

Further details about the patch are unreachable at the moment but Bioware assures that it listens to its fans and that appropriate changes for better "Dragon Age: Inquisition" experience are well on the cards.
