Dragon Age II PC v1.01 Beta Patch Released

With a pretty quick turnaround, BioWare has released the beta version of a v1.01 patch that fixes several issues with Dragon Age II. However, it is available for the retail PC edition only, so Mac, Xbox 360, PS3, and Steam users will have to wait awhile yet. A final non-beta version for those outlets will be available, likely after the weekend.
