Patch for ps3/360?
Just woundering if last gen will get a patch to fix some of the bugs such as texture popin, hair and beards looking very dodgy and framerate (there may be more these are just ones ive seen. A lot ...

So I'm playing on PS3 and this is a list of issues I am experiencing:
- textures pop in or just blur
- we all know that the text is too small, still it's given me a headache
- audio cuts out but then suddenly comes back seconds later
- there is sometimes this loud audio pop that is extemely jarring
- the voices for characters are way to quiet in comparison to sound effects and music
- dialogue wheels sometimes grey out so i can't respond
- when talking to dorian for some reason my dialogue wheel just wouldn't appear, it would be stuck on dorian, this can be solved by mashing the skip button but of course i miss out on dialogue because of this
- it completely crashed my system fives times now (usually while loading an area or even loading the save file), it even crashed while auto saving and since i was stupid the first time and didn't have a maunel save this meant that i had to restart and replay 11 hours.
- load times can take forever, which with the freezing while loading and then crashing the system issue makes this a true test of watching the blinking icon and hope to god it doesn't freeze
Honestly for a patch I really want them to focus on the freezing, corrupting autosaves and crashing the system first, I can deal with the **bleep** textures. No wonder I was nervous when they said it this game was getting inspiration from Skyrim, they really hit the mark on that but not in a good way.
I have found the best option for freezing (at least in PS3) is to train yourself to save on a separate file every time you see your game auto saving. When it is saving, don't move, as the hiccups seem to sometimes happen when it's saving and loading more of the area at the same time or doing something that is graphically intensive (like big mage spells). It doesn't stop the crashes all the time but I have found the majority of my 'lost a ton of time playing' has been fixed by being viligent and keeping multiple saves in case one gets borked. When convos get borked, as someone mentioned, best thing to do is mash square. I found that sometimes pressing the start button and going back to the game eventually unsticks it. This is how I got through Cass's romance scene (major hang-up on a line by Cass for example during a romance scene).
They really need to patch the freezing issue, especially when it involves saving. I can deal with a lot of things and know I signed up for a less graphically sound experience getting it for the PS3 so I expect it to not be AMAZING looking, but having to be OCD about saving after every little thing gets tiring very quickly.
Also worth noting is that it appears the freezing issue is hitting PS4 as well, and other systems...probably not as much, but this is clearly a bug that needs fixing across the board.
