Re: Developer Console PC

Console (Origins)

The wiki page lists the shortcut as:

"C:\Program Files\Dragon Age\bin_ship\daorigins.exe" -enabledeveloperconsole

But Origin changes the path:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dragon Age\bin_ship\daorigins.exe" -enabledeveloperconsole

*Note: The file name may be different depending on which version of DAO you have (for example: Dragon Age Origins Ultimate Edition).

I recommend going into the "bin_ship" file itself and doing the following:

1) Find "daorigins.exe".
2) Right click to bring down a menu.
3) Click "Properties".
4) Highlight the "Location:" information and copy it (CTRL+c).
5) Open "Notepad" (Start-->All Programs-->Accessories), "paste" (CTRL+v) the information.
6) Edit the path.
-->Add "\daorigins.exe".
-->Add the "" marks.
-->Add "-enabledeveloperconsole" as shown.
7) Create a new shortcut using the new path.

Important note from the wiki...

"Also note that you will not be able to see the console without the use of a mod, but you can tell that it is open because keys you normally can use as shortcuts to commands will no longer work (C for Character Record, etc.)."
