Console (Origins)

The developer console allows you to perform functions in the game which are not normally possible (multiple classes, new items, kill all enemies on screen, immortality, etc).

Accessing the Console
Make a shortcut to your "daorigins.exe" file (located in the bin_ship) folder on your desktop or Start Menu. Add the line "-enabledeveloperconsole" to the end of the shortcut, without quotes, and it should look something like "C:\Program Files\Dragon Age\bin_ship\daorigins.exe" -enabledeveloperconsole.

Open the file \BioWare\Dragon Age\Settings\KeyBindings.ini in your My Documents folder. Find the line that says OpenConsole_0 and change the value after the equals sign (=) to Keyboard::Button_Tilde. To open the console after running the game, press the ~ button in the top left corner of your keyboard.

Note that adding this line to the shortcut created when you install which links to dalauncher.exe WILL NOT WORK. Also note that you will not be able to see the console, but you can tell that it is open because keys you normally can use as shortcuts to commands will no longer work (C for Character Record, etc).

Console Commands
Type the following commands into the console after activating it. Note that you often won't see any notification that something has changed.
