I picked up Bioware’s recent RPG title Dragon Age Origins a few days ago and i must say, it is a very stunning game. For a person who has never played a previous bioware game, i can say i am really impressed by their work. So, this is where the big question came to me, PC version.. hmm… cheats?

Yeah, i admit, i wanted to cheat to see what kinds of crazy sorcery i can do to the game. I began to investigate and i read about a “console” that allows you to run scripts that are essentially cheats. After several tutorials and guides online, i finally figured out how to get it to work. (No, there seems to be no one site that has this method completely written down). So without further delay, heres how to enable the developer console and essentially “cheat” in dragon age origins.

1. The first thing you will want to do is locate your Dragon Age origins directory, once you are in the folder containing all the game files. Create a shortcut for “daorigins.exe”.

2. Drag this to the desktop and then right click->properties.

3. At the end of the target box (after the quotes), type in –enabledeveloperconsole

4. You should have something like this once you are done. “D:\Games\Dragon Age Origins\Dragon Age\bin_ship\daorigins.exe” –enabledeveloperconsole

5. Apply settings and then launch the game using your new shortcut.

6. Once you are in the game, press the “`” key to turn on your console. (note: on the retail version of the game the console does not show what you type, so just hope you get it right)

7. Use one of the following commands and press enter. If successful you should activate the cheat.

Enjoy!
