Console (Dragon Age II)

The developer console is an in-game command line tool that allows you to perform functions which are not normally possible (multiple classes, new items, kill all enemies on screen, immortality, etc.).

Enabling the console
There are currently two ways to enable the console. Only editing the DragonAge2Launcher.xml game file seems to work for the Steam version

Making a shortcut
Make a shortcut to your "DragonAge2.exe" file (typically located in the C:\Program Files (x86)\Dragon Age II\bin_ship folder) on your desktop, Start Menu, or wherever. Right click on the shortcut, choose properties, then add the following to the end of line in the "Target" field: -enabledeveloperconsole — it should look something like this:


 * "C:\Program Files\Dragon Age II\bin_ship\DragonAge2.exe" -enabledeveloperconsole

Be sure that there is a single space between the last quotation mark and the hyphen.

By editing a game file
Another option is to edit the file …\Dragon Age II\data\DragonAge2Launcher.xml (i.e., within your Program Files folder). This will allow you to run the game from its normal shortcut, but requires you to edit a game file. This should be done carefully. Make a backup of the file, first. Then, find the line


 * &lt;condition name="FirstRunCheck" type="FileExist" file="${USERDATA_DIR}\SystemInformation.xml"&gt;

The line below should be something like this:


 * &lt;true action="execute" file="${BINARIES_DIR}\DragonAge2.exe" path="${BINARIES_DIR}" autoquit="true" /&gt;

Add an attribute arguments="-enabledeveloperconsole" to it make it read


 * &lt;true action="execute" file="${BINARIES_DIR}\DragonAge2.exe" path="${BINARIES_DIR}" autoquit="true" arguments="-enabledeveloperconsole" /&gt;

For Mac users, locate the file in your user library by going to

Library/Application Support/Dragon Age II/config

Right click to open the file with Text Edit and after the line [AppDefaults\\DragonAge2.exe\\transgaming]

Copy and paste the following:

"cmdlineadd" = "-enabledeveloperconsole"

To the end of ~/Library/Application Support/Dragon Age II/config

Accessing the console
Open the file "\BioWare\Dragon Age II\Settings\KeyBindings.ini" in your 'My Documents' folder. Open the file in Notepad, then find the line that says "OpenConsole_0=Keyboard::Button_X" (GRAVE is default, change X to any button that is not already used in the game). You can also leave it as "Keyboard::Button_GRAVE" and then use the "backtick" character, which is located under the tilde. For Steam it seems binding the console to Tilde doesn't work for some people. Try binding the console to F6 if all other options failed.

--- It seems that, at least in the Direct Download edition from EA, the tilde button is called Kanji. Editing the line to "OpenConsole_0=Keyboard::Button_Kanji" allows one to open the console as normal, using the same button.

Important Note: Every command typed in the console will be invisible, however, you can see if it's active by typing bound keys (such as trying to move your character or open your inventory), which would normally not work in console mode. The fonts.erf patch from DA:O that was previously used to make the console visible does not appear to work in DA:II.

Once you've got everything set, press the assigned key to activate the console and type in the code followed by on your keyboard. The easiest code to check if it's working is, as this code will pop open the enchantment screen no matter where you are in the game.

Note: Use 'Z' instead if all other keys don't work.

General console commands

 * runscript healplayer ~ Heals the entire party
 * runscript injury remparty ~ Removes all injuries from party
 * runscript injury remall ~ removes all injuries from the selected party member
 * runscript addmoney X ~ Adds copper in the amount of X, i.e.; 10000 = 1 Gold piece
 * runscript killallhostiles ~ Destroys all enemies. Be careful here because this can break scripted encounters and can potentially block progress.
 * runscript addxp X ~ Adds experience in the amount of X
 * runscript pc_immortal ~ You will still lose health, but not die. Can be undone with runscript pc_immortal 0
 * runscript cheat ~ Give all party members a white-glow effect with white dust spray out when you move, temporarily raises party's defence by a significant value, however, damage is still taken. (needs clarification)
 * runscript zz_upgrade ~ Opens the enchantment window
 * runscript zz_app_debug ~ Opens the Approval debug window to set Approval rates and Romance flags (this doesn't work for Sebastian, you must use his personal zz_seb_debug command)
 * runscript zz_supercrit player ~ Adds 1000 Stamina and Health, 50 Dexterity and Strength to Hawke. Note that this effect is irreversible. Once you use this, you cannot pick up loot.
 * This effect is irreversible, but the extra attribute points may be redistributed using the Maker's Sigh.
 * In certain versions this effect does not restrict loot from being picked up. The effect can also be repeated.  Use Maker's Sigh then reenter code.  Your character will have 50+ to strength and dexterity and you will have over 100 points to distribute
 * To achieve this effect with any companion, prefix the chosen companion's name with gen00fl_ in place of player. ex: runscript zz_supercrit gen00fl_anders
 * runscript dbg_setattrib [attrib] [value] - gives the selected party member a 180 sec. attribute buff / debuff, where [attrib] is a number from 1 to 6 (1=Str, 2=Dex, 3=Mag, 4=Cun, 5=Wil, 6=Con), and [value] is the amount by which you want to raise it. A negative [value] can be used to lower the attribute instead (i.e. -15).
 * runscript bowlingforferelden – This command surrounds you with a ball of energy and allows you to knock around nearly any NPC (party members included) like bowling pins. Be sure to save before you do this, as it may have unintended consequences (pushing NPCs into unreachable areas for example). Wears off after 50 seconds.
 * runscript zz_party - Retains current active party and adds Isabela, Anders and Aveline to your active party.
 * If your active party did not contain those three, then they will be added granting you six companions at a time. If one of them was in active party, the other two are added. Similarly, if two were already there, the last will be added. These added members remain after area transition (except Gamlen's house and Hawke's estate) and fight along side you. Any of the added party members can be selected and controlled. Approval testing is required.
 * Warning! - Every time this command is used, all upgraded attribute points of Isabela, Anders and Aveline will be gone. Their attribute points will reset to their initial values from when you recruited them. All manually enabled abilities of Anders and Aveline will be retained, while Isabela's will be gone. Ability points gained so far will be available to reactivate lost abilities.
 * runscript zz_ave_debug - Aveline's debug (set approval, jump to dialogs, set plot flags)
 * runscript zz_and_debug - Anders' debug
 * runscript zz_bet_debug - Bethany's debug
 * runscript zz_car_debug - Carver's debug

At each level of the menu, the script will create a popup with the applicable variables for that level; ie, "runscript zz_dae" will tell you you can enter "show" as a variable, and typing "zz_dae show" will show you you can enter "tone" as a variable, hence "zz_dae show tone" will display your current personality. Similarly, "zz_dae tone humorous" will add one point to your humorous tone counter.
 *  Options

Companion Debug Commands
Codes below allow for approval to be added or removed, set Romance/Friendship/Rivalry Flags plus a few others. (The option to add/remove approval isn't currently working in Merrill's Debug Menu. However, using runscript zz_app_debug will allow you to edit her approval.)


 * runscript zz_and_debug
 * runscript zz_mrl_debug
 * runscript zz_vrc_debug
 * runscript zz_ave_debug
 * runscript zz_fen_debug
 * runscript zz_isa_debug
 * runscript zz_bet_debug
 * runscript zz_car_debug
 * runscript zz_seb_debug

Approval Guide -

The debug menu gives only vague descriptions of the adjustments when editing approval, so it can be difficult to tell how much you are adjusting approval ratings. The numerical values for each approval adjustment are as follows:
 * Low: +5 friendship/rivalry
 * Medium: +10 friendship/rivalry
 * High: +15 friendship/rivalry
 * Friend: set approval rating to 50 friendship
 * Trusted: set approval rating to 100 friendship
 * Rival: set approval rating to 50 rivalry
 * Crisis: set approval rating to 100 rivalry

How to -

While using it you may be like me and had a hell of a time using it and gave up because it didn't work. The reason it doesn't work is because you can only do one command at a time.

Example

1. Open Debug Menu using any of the debug commands

2. Add/Subtract Approval/Change Romance to only one character

3. Choose only one command

4. Exit/Leave Menu

5. You'll see Approval added/subtracted (Romance will be invisible, but if you did it right it will work)

6. Repeat steps 1-4 for any other changes you want to make

Note: Approval modification will cease to have any effect once Friendship/Rivalry has been locked in.

Note: When changing romances to fix a bug, I suggest following romance guides because it could cause bugs in the cutscenes.

Savegame Import Debug Script

 * runscript zz_vault_debug opens the Savegame Import Debug Script, which allows you to display the "current world state", i.e. the data that was imported from Dragon Age: Origins. Note that as of patch 1.01 several problems with the import function have not yet been fixed. Some events, e.g. romances, are either not imported properly or at least not displayed accurately (see the discussion on the bioware forums for further details and possible unofficial solutions).

Talent Editing Commands
These commands offer the powerful ability to customize your character, your companion skill trees, and more. One of the more fun things you can do with this is turn your character into a custom class by adding and removing individual talent trees. This is recommended over using the class change codes mentioned later, as they can cause game scripting problems.

To modify a character, they must be in your party and selected under your direct control.


 * ~ add talent XXX to selected character
 * ~ remove talent XXX from selected character

There are a vast number of codes that can be used to modify your character. You can add talents from different trees or classes without the tree or class unlocked. The largest unformatted list resides in the Raw Talent Codes section, but more detailed analysis can be found further below.

To add a tree, search in the Class Talent Trees and following sections and add it to your desired character, including base talent tree specialization bonuses and any additional talents you might want. This in effect gives you bonus talent points.

There is a limit of 12 talent trees that you can have in your ability sheet before the display starts having layout problems. This limit includes your Mabari Warhound talent. You can remove unwanted trees with the  command, which can be useful to hide the tree (and stay within the 12 tree limit on your abilities screen) but allow you to continue using the talents within -- except in the case of the Mabari Warhound. If you do this, make sure you have copied the ones you want to use into your quick bar or you will have to re-add the tree to access them again.

You will be unable to drag and drop abilities onto your action bar until the removed tree is made visible again by using  and the appropriate tree code.

If you use these codes at the beginning of the game after you generate your character, be sure to leave room for your three class specialization talents which will appear at the end of Year One. You may choose to remove them afterwards depending on your desires.

Talent Code Examples
 * - Show the Reaver specialization tree on your ability sheet
 * - Activate the Base Talent for the Reaver tree
 * - Hide the Force Mage talent tree from your ability sheet
 * - Add the Force Mage talent Fist of the Maker

Basic Talent Codes

 * numbers 2-8 ~ add a blank command to command slot 1 so move that aside to another command slot first.  It has a faint black outline and most of the time when you mouse over it is shows (null) for the command.  These do various things like TEST_MELEE, TEST_SET_TRAP, etc.
 * numbers 10-15 ~ seem to add injuries to your char''
 * numbers 100-10000 ~ have no known useful effect.
 * 1 adds a funky attack command ~ if you click this in explore mode you do damage to yourself.
 * 6 adds champion's refresh (behavior tbd)
 * 700000 adds Summon Mabari to your first slot. Removing it removes it from both your quick bar and from your talent tree.

Raw Talent Codes

 * /Talent codes has talent codes dumped from the 2da file
 * See the below for a more human readable dissection of the codes

Class Talent Codes
Adding a class with these codes will cause you to retain your initial talents, with access to the new class talent trees. For example, if you are a Mage and you add Rogue, you will keep your Mage spells. If you do this before the year one cut scene then it will add Rogue specialization options, allowing a type of dual-classing.


 * Add Warrior Class - 100000
 * Add Rogue Class - 200000
 * Add Mage Class - 300000

Notes:


 * You are treated as your original class with respect to plot except in the following ways:
 * The brother or sister companion may not have dialog if you add the class talent, that triggers them differently than your original class. They will still be there, the one who isn't however, will have dialog even though they aren't standing there with the party.
 * One can change the brother/sister command with the  command to modify the party but: For triggered scenes with dialog, the game seems to trigger the companion based on the last class added.
 * For example, if you start off with a rogue, but add the mage class: all triggered scenes will have the brother/sister companion based on the mage class. If they aren't in your party, their dialog will still play, but they will not be physically there. This is even with using the  command. It seems to be hardcoded. We can only wait for people to mod the game in hopes of changing this.
 * If your class change causes you to switch brother/sister you will get a minor progress blocker in the Birthright quest where you need to go back to your house and speak with your sibling to advance the quest. Use the following work around:
 * Travel to the house
 * Activate the console and input  or   depending on whether you need to talk to Carver or Bethany
 * Choose option 2 - Set At Base
 * Talk to them and it will let you advance the quest
 * Classes can be removed with
 * If you add more than one class the class with the lowest number seems to override higher number ones
 * Adding classes in different orders can increase your hp and mana pool.
 * If you have already changed your class, you should remove it before you add a new one.
 * Through clever switching of classes you can do things like use both the tome of arcane power and tome of physical technique to add extra bonus points to your Hawke

Class Talent Trees
For each class, x01000 through x10000 correspond to subspecs. Advanced subclasses are from x07000 to x10000. Companion character specific subclasses are located from x11000, x12000 and above as DLC characters are added.

By default, each tree will be added without an invested specialization point. To activate the Base Talent in any given tree, change the last digit in the sequence to a 1. Doing this will allow you to spend gained ability points in it as you see fit. Be sure to read Talent Editing Commands for important information regarding usage and limitations.

Quick reference for each tree is as follows:
 * Warrior:
 * 101000 - Weapon and Shield; 102000 - Two-Handed; 103000 - Vanguard; 104000 - Defender
 * 105000 - Warmonger; 106000 - Battle Master; 107000 - Templar; 109000 - Reaver; 110000 - Berserker
 * Rogue:
 * 201000 - Dual Weapon; 202000 - Archery; 203000 - Sabotage; 204000 - Specialist
 * 205000 - Scoundrel; 206000 - Subterfuge; 207000 - Shadow; 208000 - Duelist; 210000 - Assassin

Merrill's Companion Quest - Act 3
There's a bug that prevents Merrill's Quest from being obtained/completed. When Merrill is visited at her home, a cutscene immediately takes place. However, this is due to a bug/glitch and will prevent the player from getting her quest later on. The resolution is below.


 * 1) runscript zz_mrl_debug
 * 2) Select Main Quest
 * 3) Select Act 3
 * 4) Select 1 - Start Merrill Notify.

Merrill can now be contacted in her home, and quest can be obtained/completed. It is best to complete the quests 'A Talking To' and 'On The Loose' prior to using the console commands to stay with the chronology and avoid immediate termination of those quests.

Isabela's Companion Quest - Act 3
There is a relatively common bug where Isabela's quest cannot be received in Act 3 Hawke Estate. To fix this:


 * 1) runscript zz_isa_debug
 * 2) You should find yourself in a menu. Select Plot.
 * 3) Select No rest for the Wicked. Act 3.
 * 4) Select Jump to Plot Point.
 * 5) Select First Velasco Encounter.

This fix means that a couple of dialogues will be skipped, but quest can be obtained.

Aveline's Companion Quest - Act 3
There is a bug where Aveline's armor upgrade, Deflecting Joints Guardsman Pattern, can not be found on Jeven. Here is the workaround:


 * 1) Get AddItem-Mod from here:
 * 2) Open console
 * 3) Type in "runscript additem gen_im_cns_flu_aveline_04.uti"


 * Alternatively you can download an unofficial bug fix | here

Adding Items
The Dragon Age 2 console has no built-in command to add items, but there is a mod that adds one. It can be found at the following location, along with installation instructions and a list of all items (though it does not have descriptions of the items): 

Syntax:
 * runscript additem [item] [value] ~ Where [item] is the item code and [value] is the amount of items to add. For example, type "runscript additem fake_im_arm_hlm_hvy_champ.uti 20" to add 20 fake Champion's Armor (Warrior) helmets to your inventory.

There is a second mod that adds a "Visual Add Item" command. It allows you to screen for words in names of items or parts of item codes, so it is very useful when you don't know the item code: 

Syntax for item name screening:
 * runscript vaddin [filter] ~ Where [filter] contains part of the name of the item you are searching for. For example "runscript vaddin champion" would yield a "container" opening with all items containing the word "Champion" in their title. (Such as Warplate of the Champion)

Syntax for item code screening:
 * runscript vaddi [filter] ~ Where [filter] contains part of the item code of the item you are searching for. For example "runscript vaddi level" would yield a "container" opening with all items which have an item code containing the word "level." (Such as gen_im_cns_pot_level_01.uti (Maker's Sigh))
