The patch is set to be a large one, with numerous long overdue bug fixes.

Those who install the v1.04 patch prior to installing Awakening will have to reapply the patch post-Awakening install.<\/p>\n<p>BioWare also notes that due to certain technical limitations, some particular bugs cannot be resolved. These include: (Awakening) Silverite Mine Issues; (Origins) Arl of Denerim&rsquo;s Estate, Basement (immediately post-Riordan rescue) Issues; (Awakening) Armor sets: Sentinel Armor &amp; Vigilance Sword (Xbox 360 and PS3), Blackblade Armor (All platforms).&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Be sure to check the patch notes or the<a href=\"http:\/\/social.bioware.com\/forum\/Dragon-Age-Origins\/Dragon-Age-Origins-News-and-Announcements\/Upcoming-Dragon-Age-Patch-Info-July-16-2010-3149645-1.html\" target=\"_blank\"> forum<\/a>&nbsp;for the full explanation.
