Dragon Age 2 cheats not working

@perkycarrot;  I'm confused.

What "three developer console" are you talking about?

If it's the built-in "Command Console", then the way to activate it is:

1. Right-click on the game title in your Origin Game Library
2. Choose "Game Properties"
3. Choose "Advanced Launch Options"
4. Enter the following as the "Command Line Argument":
   -enabledeveloperconsole
5. Save the change
6. Start the game

When you're in-game, the " ` " (accent) key is the trigger/toggle for activating it.

Be advised, nothing you type into the console will appear on-screen, so be careful and don't make any typos.  (You'll know it's active if you can't move Hawke!)

Thank you for the info, but I don't think I have the game properties folder. 

@perkycarrot;  What version/installation of DA2 do you have?  Steam?  Origin?  Retail disc?  I had presumed you were running with a standard EA/Origin install.  But your mention of "folders" confuses me.  You won't interact with any of the game's folders directly if you're using Origin to launch it.

As noted above:

1. Right-click on the game title in your Origin Game Library
2. Choose "Game Properties"

For a retail disc installation the instructions are very similar.  Simply create a desktop shortcut to the executable "DragonAge2.exe", and add '-enabledeveloperconsole ' to the "target".

I understand Steam installs require a slightly different process.  As I don't use Steam for the DA games, I'm not familiar with that.  (But Google is your friend...)

It's Origins. I have googled it. I feel as though I've tried every direction from every site. Mine is through my D drive. I'm not super computer savvy, so I am unsure if drive D makes a difference.

I only want it so that I can past that Ancient Rock Wraith!

@perkycarrot;

Again,

1. Right-click on the game's TITLE tile in your EA/Origin "Game Library"
   (that's the picture of the game box cover)
2. Click on "Game Properties"
3. Click on the "Advanced Options" tab
4. Type " -enabledeveloperconsole " (without the quotation marks) into the "Command line arguments" text box
5. Click "Save"
6. Start the game
7. Hit the " ` " key to activate  the Command Console when in-game

What part of that isn't working for you?

When I click on advanced options, nothing happens.I get an option to compress or to archive.

Actually, never mind. I wasn't in the Origin library. I just realized that.

It's still not working, and I followed those directions.
