A role-playing game as huge as Dragon Age: Origins is bound to have a few bugs hiding amidst the code. A new patch just arrived on Steam that clears up a few big issues for the PC version, including the possible corruption of your character data:

• Fixed potential corruption of character statistics
• Fixed portrait appearance sliders when importing a character from the downloadable Character Creator
• Fixed import for preset face settings from the downloadable Character Creator
• Made Easy difficulty easier
• Slightly increased attack, defense, and damage scores for all party members at Normal difficulty
• Fixed video issues when running on a very wide screen display, including ATI Eyefinity displays

DA:O is available in mainland Europe starting today. It was released in North America on November 3rd and will hit the rest of Europe tomorrow.
