If it's a wireless controller, you have to make sure you turn it on before you launch the game. The game seems to not detect wireless controllers otherwise.
If wired, it should work as soon as you open the game.

My Microsoft Wireless Controller for Windows still isnt recognized in Dragon Age Origins. Even though it is recognized by other games that Ive installed before and after DAI. Such as Ryse, Mordor, Far Cry 4 and most recently Wolfenstein. I would like to understand how a console game ported to PC doesnt recognize any of my controllers. I also tried the Logitech F310 (tried both its XInput and DirectInput options) and SteelSeries
Dragon Age: Origins doesn't support controllers on PC. That's because the game was developed for PC first with console development being added later in the development cycle. The console gameplay was quite heavily criticized as well.
Typo. "Origins" should have read "Inquisition"
and after 6 FRIKIN PATCHES my PC controller that works with EVERY OTHER GAME still is not recognized. Ive completely re-installed DAI and my controller drivers. Bubkis.
