Inventory

Dragon Age: Origins uses a shared-party inventory that contains all items carried (but not equipped) by party members. Items have no weight; instead there is a limit to the number of items you can carry. The Warden begins with a limit of 70 non-plot and unequipped items and can purchase backpacks that increase the limit by 10, up to a total of 125 (PC) or 120 (console version).

Mechanics

The inventory can be filtered: there are tabs for all items, weapons, armor, accessories (such as belts and rings), crafting supplies, miscellaneous items (such as Gifts) and plot and quest items. Within each tab, the user may also sort by type, alphabetically, or in LIFO order, i.e. the most recently acquired items at the top.

Exceeding the Limit

Ultimately, the 70–125 item limit only prevents you from picking up or buying more items; it doesn't affect items given through scripts or conversations.

• Technically, the 70-125 item limit applies to storage slots: a stack of up to 99 items of the same type only counts as one item against the cap.
• Plot items do not count against the limit.
• Certain downloadable content can exceed the limit.
• You can also exceed the limit by asking your dog to find items or speaking with certain quest-related NPCs.

Additional Storage

• The Warden's Keep DLC, once completed, offers a Party Storage Chest providing 90 more slots for non-plot items.
• Craig Graff, a Bioware developer, has also made available an unsupported party chest mod.
