Talk:Console (Origins)

I have taken most of the information from this thread at gamespot: http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/dragonage/show_msgs.php?topic_id=m-1-52068408&pid=920668&page=9 I have not verified most of it, so if there are inconsistencies please correct them. I also haven't been able to fill out everything from that thread, so feel free to add more from it ScottSteiner 12:42, November 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * More info about which skills and specializations are which can be found here: http://www.cheathappens.com/show_board2.asp?headID=90157&titleID=14276&onPage=1 Seems to have a group of people working on it, and I think the gamespot thread is taken from there.

climax teleportation
It seems using the console to teleport to the climax areas will change your armies to have the golems N werewolves.

alternate method to enable the console
I have added the lancher config edit method to enable the console. It works on my retail copy. Could someone with a STEAM copy test this on his copy?

The keyboard layout note is fairly straightforward I think. The keyboard layout may also the cause of the issues people have been reporting in assigning the backtick key to the console. On my belgian azerty keyboard the backtick key is somewhere totally different (you need alt for it). However when calling the console the key above tab sends backtick to the game. A simple test will verify this for other layouts. In-game assign the key above tab to some action. Exit the game. Open keybindings.ini and see whether Keyboard::Grave is assigned to that action. If someone with another less common keyboard layout could test this and report back?

console command for dog name screen
I accidentally skipped the dog naming screen on my character, who is a human noble, and want to rename him. I would think there would be a script in the console to bring up this function, has anyone found it? Perhaps hidden in one of the debug scripts, maybe? 216.186.140.210 04:26, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

dbg_setattrib doesnt work on everything
I've been trying to gain more talent points and attribute points using runscript dbg_setattrib [attrib] [value] but the only thing thats happening is a 180 second timer appearing in the effects bar or what not

Leveling up?
Quick question: I tested out the console for the first time last night, and I discovered, much to my dismay, that upon getting enough experience for the next level the option to level up did not appear. Experience appeared to be stuck at 5500/5500. I was using "killallhostiles" to get through the area quicker. I then loaded up an old save (console still on) and tried manually killing things: still no level up. It wasn't until I rebooted with the console off that it let me level properly -- although this was the save I'd made after using the console to kill a bunch of things. For the record, I was in the Fade, although I don't think that should have affected anything. Is this a normal side effect of the console, or did I just get supremely unlucky? - Ancestralmask 01:06, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Changing Class
So far I've noticed a few things about changing from Warrior to Mage during the Human Noble. As far as I can tell, it keeps me as a human noble and disregards me as a mage. I did this as soon as possible to notice all the differences. There are only a few mentions of being a mage, such as Shale saying you're a mage, Alistair saying your a mage, but Wynne doesn't seem to think you're a mage, though you can also say that the joining was worse than the harrowing. And when Alistair asks if you've lost anyone near you, you still have the option of saying "my entire family was murdered recently" instead of the "no,i've been a mage my entire life." 74.184.242.21 02:06, January 26, 2010 (UTC)

Denerim encounters
Seems that there is no Denerim encounters in the console. Im not able to jump back alley encounter to catch black vial. Would be nice to add those if possible.

Accessing console with different keyboard layout
The following is a workaround for players with a keyboard layout other than QWERTY who have problems assigning a key to access it:

Follow the usual directions for enabling the console (including assigning tilde as the button for opening it). After starting the game with the modified shortcut, temporarily change your keyboard layout to QWERTY by pressing Alt + Shift. Then press the button to the left of "1". On a QWERTZ-keyboard, this is ^. Switch back to your usual keyboard layout by pressing Alt + Shift again. The console should be open and ready to use.

This method works for QWERTZ-layout; it would be great if someone with AZERTY could test it and report back.
