The third patch also fixes a long list of bugs

Dragon Age: The Veilguard's Latest Patch Improves Photo Mode, Adds Arrow-Keys Support

As for other quality-of-life changes, arrow keys can now be bound to input mappings. Elsewhere, the patch makes it so you can compare new rings against both equipped ring slots, and there's a clearer view to identify where an enchantment has been applied to a companion's equipment. Moreover, the Glint option description in settings has been adjusted, there are new icons for some weapons, and you'll now get a notification when the Crossroads' Spirit Merchant is available.

The list of bug fixes is quite extensive, and tackles a variety of issues. A few of note are instances where music would incorrectly stop playing, the HDR calibration setting now being saved correctly between game sessions, camera stutters, and a number of crashes. You can find the full list in BioWare's blog, and below.

In GameSpot's Dragon Age: The Veilguard review, editor Jodan Ramée praises its "tantalizing visuals, ranging from artifact-filled forests of verdant greens and golden glows to canal-dominated cities of deep blues and evocative purples," as well as standout party companions, the in-depth character creator, and satisfying combat mechanics, though the latter is dependent on which class you choose.
