These commands are required to use the Steam version.
– Creates a shortcut on the desktop to the DAOrigins.exe.exe (, not the launcher. These can be found here
Steam directory. e.g.
C: Program files steam Steamapps common dragon age origins bin_ships DAOrigins.
– Right click -> Properties of the shortcut you created with target after "with an a"
Space -developer console , a
– Next, you will need a key in order to open the console in KeyBindings.ini. To find, for example, at:
C: Users username Documents BioWare Dragon Age Settings
The entry must be in line
OpenConsole_0 = Keyboard:: Button_XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
be done and said behind Button_key must not be used any other way
You could use the "G" symbol, for example, to make OpenConsole_0 = Keyboard a free option.
G is used to activate the console games
As I mentioned in the first post, you can't see anything when you open the console. Only when you start writing will you see the top of the various characters. You cannot see the text you are trying to write, but that is normal.
Editing The DAOriginsLauncher.xml File
Go to
C:\Program Files (x86 – \Steam\SteamApps\common\Dragon Age Ultimate Edition\data
Right click the DAOriginsLauncher.xml file and open the file with notepad.
Find the line
This line should be below that line
Just before autoquit="True" /> add this: arguments="-enabledeveloperconsole". The line should read:
<true action="execute" file="$BINARIES_DIR\DAOrigins.exe" path="$BINARIES_DIR" arguments="-enabledeveloperconsole"
autoquit="true" />
Save the file
Install this mod if you have any issues making your CONSOLE commands visible.
