This is not about changes made to the game. Just a heads up.

Has anyone been encountering any bugs in the game yet? I've come across a couple.

There are a number of clipping issues, where I've noticed weapons going through outfits.

Sometimes, the character will not react to mouse clicks.

I've had Aveline's weapon and shield disappear, as well as body parts on the arms during conversation.

So far, it seems that there is no memory leak like the first Dragon Age had, but I've had varying performance. On DirectX9, I cannot raise graphics above Medium.
On DirectX11, I have very poor performance, and I am unable to change my screen resolution without black bars appearing on the sides of the screen.

Enemies randomly appear out of thin air when they spawn, in areas I've already cleared out.

Has anyone else been encountering bugs?

I haven't hit any yet. Not even minor clipping. Getting roughly 40-45 FPS in DX11 max settings 2xAA. Out of curiosity, are you using an Nvidia card?
I'm running off of a DX10 Radeon Card, so I haven't been getting the Nvidia problems. I think that might be the issue I'm having with the DX11 enhancements. I have a few from upgrading to Windows 7, but Dragon Age 2 doesn't fully support DX10. You either go up to 11 for poor performance, or down to 9 and get options locked out.

On the mission to collect the ironbark, the ogre that spawns appeared in a hill with only one arm visible. I could hit it, but it couldn't hit back.

Second, sometimes when I first come upon an enemy they kind of freeze for the first 10 seconds or so before reacting like normal. In other words I get a few free hits in. This only seems to happen with demons though.

Also, sometimes after I make my character use a spacial move, he'll use it then stop attacking until I right click again.

Finally, the pirate girl whose name I can't remember because she annoys the heck out of me. Her butt keeps clipping through that ridiculous excuse for a loincloth

Haven't made it to the ironbark yet, but I've had issues with Qunari clipping in and out of bushes.

As for the last part, might have been intentional by Bioware, the little perverts :)

Yea it doesn't make much sense. Not having any trouble on an HD 5830 though.
I think it is a matter of poor optimization. My card is kinda crappy, a Mobility Radeon HD4330, but it can run Mass Effect 2 at full resolution max graphics just fine, same with Origins. Here it just runs very choppy.

I think I've encountered this one.

Does the mouse kinda freeze up and only let you click on one thing?

Its a holdover from the Demo. I will click on my portrait to level up, then click on the next portrait of a party member, only for it to leave the level up screen and return to the world.
