Save game editing

Intro/How to

With the use of the Toolset you can modify your characters, this page details how to do so.

First, in Windows XP, open the folder C:\Documents and Settings\UserLoginName\My Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\Characters\Character Name\Saves\Selected Save Folder.

Make a backup copy of the savegamename.das, usually by copy/pasting and renaming it to savegamename.das.bak

Editing the PC

To edit stats of the main character:

Open the save game in the Toolset and look for SAVEGAME_PLAYERCHAR -> SAVEGAME_PLAYERCHAR_CHAR -> SAVEGAME_CREATURE_STATS -> SAVEGAME_STATLIST

The subheadings 0 through 5 correspond with the 6 attributes in game.

0 - Strength

1 - Dexterity

2 - Willpower

3 - Magic

4 - Cunning

5 - Constitution

Change the SAVEGAME_STATPROPERTY_BASE to the number you desire. There is no known upper limit.

Open the save game in the editor and look for SAVEGAME_PARTYPOOLMEMBERS. Each branch corresponds to the party member listed in TEMPLATERESREF. The attributes for each party member can be found under SAVEGAME_CREATURE_STATS.

The subheadings 0 through 5 correspond with the 6 attributes in game.

0 - Strength

1 - Dexterity

2 - Willpower

Properties List

You aren't limited to just the basic 6 attributes, you have access to the full range of attributes to include resistances. Don't look on numbers under savegame_statlist (they could be different) but when you open the number there are lines like SAVEGAME_STATPROPERTY_BASE, SAVEGAME_STATPROPERTY_MODIFIER, SAVEGAME_STATPROPERTY_INDEX- this number is important because the game reads them and they are always the same. You have to find them. It's possible they aren't there yet, because you are still in the beginning of the game. The IDs are as follows:

1- Strength

2- Dexterity

3- Willpower

4- Magic

5- Cunning

6- Constitution

7- Health

8- Mana/Stamina (These are more difficult to edit, there are current H/M and base H/M.)
