In the beginning, they stated there were 3 Patches in the works: around 1:20 http://www.twitch.tv/bioware/b/594657808

The 3rd patch was going to deal with bugs, plus the many user complaints of the PC mouse and keyboard UI. See this thread on the Bioware forums for more details on the issues being raised. Fixes for these issues are being implemented in the various patches; see the notes below.

Note: The hotfix for Patch 3 brought the numbering scheme to 1.04, which their official blog post was updated to show instead of 1.03. The list of fixes is the same. The patch that went out to XBox and PlayStation was called "Patch 4" and included both the patch and the hotfix. Patch 5 brought us to version 1.06 - I think Patch 6 brings us to 1.07 but need to confirm.

Hotfix for Patch 2

December 10, 2014
Source


Later on today we'll be implementing a hotfix for Patch 2 on PC to address graphical issues our players have been experiencing. This fix will ensure that the graphics settings are working correctly for everyone; however, players who are using lower graphics settings will notice changes to the visuals they are used to.

Before Patch 2, released December 9, shader quality for all PC users was being forced to run at Ultra. This impacted the performance of low-end machines and caused some unintended visual artifacts for users whose mesh quality was set lower than Ultra. As a result, users with Low or Medium mesh settings saw hair that was shinier than expected.

We attempted to address this in Patch 2 by binding the two settings so that mesh and shader quality were always the same. However, this fix wasn't properly implemented, and it forced shader quality to Low. We provided a command-line workaround Tuesday, but that still required players to ensure that the new shader quality matched their mesh settings.

This hotfix will correctly bind the mesh and shader settings and eliminate this issue. However, now that shader quality is being set correctly for everyone, players using lower settings will notice a decrease in the quality of visuals. This includes the removal of some features such as scars and freckles.

Most notably, the lower settings do not support blending of the age layer, so some users may notice that their Inquisitor (or custom Hawke) has aged considerably. And while this change is how it was originally intended to work, it could be understandably frustrating for people who created their characters before Patch 2.

If you would like to correct this change, you can set your mesh quality to High or Ultra. This will enable features that are disabled on lower settings, but may impact your framerate and performance.

We're sorry for any stress or confusion this may have caused, and we thank the community for helping us quickly identify and address this issue.




Patch 3

January 19. 2015
From the Bioware Blog:


In the upcoming Patch 3 for Dragon Age: Inquisition, our primary focus was on fixing bugs, particularly ones that blocked progression or hampered the player experience.

Based on feedback from our players, we tweaked the banter system to be less random in order to prevent extra-long periods of silence. We fixed quest blockers in the personal quests of Dorian and Sera as well as a spawning issue in Solas’s personal quest (I won’t elaborate to avoid light spoilers).

We targeted several issues in multiplayer, fixing the case that caused keys to not drop, as well as fixing issues with the Reaver’s rampage ability. There were also some balance changes, including tweaks to the Demon Commander and the Strength of Spirits ability to make it more useful.

We added some much-requested features, including key binding that allows walking for PC and push-to-talk functionality in the multiplayer end of match summary and armor upgrade menus. We also added a new multiplayer Destruction route, and players can now challenge themselves in the fiery Elven Ruins.

You can find a comprehensive list of the upcoming fixes in Patch 3 for PC below. We’ll release more information on patches for consoles in the future, so stay tuned for more updates.

We continue to listen to feedback from our players, and we thank everyone for working with us to create an even better Dragon Age experience.

Update:
Conal popped in to the PC Community Concerns thread on the Bioware Forum to update everyone on the upcoming patch, and had this to say about the PC UI concerns that most have in there:

Because the development cycle for Patch 3 fell over the holiday period, our priority focus for this patch were items that blocked progress (like key drop or Dorian's quest) and other bug fixes. It's important for us that our devs have time at the holidays to spend with their loved ones and families, and after a long production cycle, this was some well deserved time off.

We are still working on future items and improvements for later patches based on the feedback we have received here and elsewhere. I can't give you any specifics as of yet, but as Scylla said, improving PC mouse and keyboard controls is still a priority for us. The fact that we weren't able to get it into patch 3 doesn't change that priority, as not at bugs and features are created (or solved) equal.

I can't provide further updates until after Patch 3 is out, but I will give more info once it's possible to do so.


Update #2:
The hotfix to the above patch to fix crafted shields was Patch #4 for PC, and a combination of the patch and hotfix went out to XBox and PlayStation.

Issues with Patch 3
Shields crafted prior to the patch no longer show stats
Blackwall's shield not appearing on his back even if it's equipped - re-equip it and it will show up
Some reports of being unable to toggle "walk" off to go back to "run"

Hotfix for Patch 3 (Patch 4)

The previously PC-only Patch 3 was released for the XBox and PlayStation platforms to fix a large list of bugs. It's called Patch 4 due to it encompassing Patch 3 + the Patch 3 hotfix that fixed the crafted shields (that were broken by the initial release of Patch 3). Patch 4 on PC was the hotfix to Patch 3.


On January 26 we released Patch 4 on PC. It was a small patch focused on two important issues: armor stats for crafted shields and MP Key Drop issue.
 
- Previously, crafted shields were using the wrong primary stat – normal armor instead of front armor. This means that in a few scenarios a character would get more armor protection when being hit by the side. On Patch 3 we implemented a change that fixed the armor stat for shields. New crafted shields worked correctly after Patch 3 but shields that were crafted before the fix remained with their old stats which was not displayed properly and not applied to the character when equipped. In Patch 4 we fixed this scenario for old crafted shields.
 
- In Patch 4 we minimized substantially the chance of the MP Key Drop issue happening. We found several instances where monsters could die and not correctly update the internal kill counter—this would cause the end-of-wave key drop event to not occur.  We resolved these issues and also added a failsafe mechanism which will attempt to recover in case there are additional cases that have not yet been discovered.  We are continuing to investigate other sources of this problem, for example when monsters become unkillable because they manage to escape the playable area.




Patch 5

March 2, 1015
This one actually brings the version number up to 1.06. The Black Emporium is NOT included in this patch.

From the Bioware Blog:


The upcoming Patch 5 for Dragon Age: Inquisition contains a number of improvements to gameplay and stability, as well as some new features. We’ve added party storage and the item tinter to the Undercroft at Skyhold and the ability to adjust the size of subtitles.

PC Specific: While we’ve added the ability to toggle mouse look, this feature is still under development and does not act optimally under all conditions. We are continuing to work on this feature to improve it for future releases.

Please note that the Black Emporium is not part of the patch 5 release. Thanks to the excellent feedback we received from the people in our beta program, we are continuing to work on this feature.



A quick note: The first item "Fixed the walk toggle to be framerate independent" might fix the issue where using the frame rate fix in the command line broke the walk toggle (or the walk toggle broke the frame rate fix, not sure which it was).

Added an Option to increase the maximum zoom level when using the Tactical Camera.


Patch 6

March 23, 2015

Patch 6 for Dragon Age: Inquisition improves overall game stability, implements a number of bug fixes, and introduces some multiplayer improvements. The Katari multiplayer kit now has more HP and generates guard on hit.

Patch 8

The Save Importer is also now released, because all Dragon Age: Inquisition DLC coming after today will be for PS4, Xbox One and PC only (no last gen consoles).


In the current Patch 8 for Dragon Age: Inquisition, our focus is on introducing new Multiplayer features, improvements to overall Mutliplayer stability, and a new single player Save Importer feature.

Players have been asking for a bigger Multiplayer challenge, so we’ve created Nightmare difficulty, a step up from Perilous in every way. We’ve also introduced a number of new and rare high level weapons, some from the Avvar clans.

Players can now step into the Proving Grounds, a new tutorial level that allows you to test your class, abilities and load out before stepping into the heat of a Multiplayer battle. Proving Grounds is accessible from the class selection screen.

Upgrading your console? Our new Save Importer function allows players wishing to upgrade their consoles to migrate their save games without having to start from scratch. Full details here.

In Patch 10 for Dragon Age: Inquisition, our focus is on introducing fan-requested features, some base ability changes, and a number of bug fixes.

We’re happy to introduce the player wardrobe. You can now choose from a range of different outfits for your Inquisitor thanks to a wardrobe in Skyhold.

The winners of the Untold Relics of Thedas contest have been selected, and their creations placed in the game. The relics’ locations are a mystery for your Inquisitior to uncover.

Thanks to prominent Thedosian scholars and Shapers, we’ve implemented a series of gameplay adjustments, designed to customize, improve, and balance the player experience.

We’ve also added the ability for players to consolidate account bound collectibles across games with a newly added Golden Nug statue located in Skyhold and Haven. With it, you can access your herb seeds, crafting schematics, mounts, Skyhold decorations, and potion recipes across your online saves of the same platform. Just touch the statue with your post-game character to get access to this feature. The Golden Nug becomes available if one or more of the characters on your account have completed the game at least once.

Patch 11

October 5, 2015
From the BioWare Blog:

In Patch 11 for Dragon Age: Inquisition, our efforts focused primarily on improving game stability and addressing bugs related to the Trespasser DLC. Multiplayer also saw some fixes, including the removal of single-player portraits appearing in multiplayer for some players. Red Lyrium Weapons, previously only available to players who completed the Quest for the Red Lyrium Reapers mini-game on the Dragon Age: Inquisition website, are now available to all players in a Special Delivery Chest.
