Cheat: Infinite Attributes Glitch

This has only been tested on the original release. A "sacrificial" stat is required -- one you don't need (for a Mage that would be Strength; for a Warrior or Rogue, Magic works). Head to the level up screen and put all of your points into the sacrificial stat. Click Next, then click Previous and then hit Reset. Manually remove the points to the sacrificial stat. You should now have 6 points rather then the 3 you put in. Choose Next a few times and then choose Play to save the changes made. Repeat this process. When the stat turns negative the game will regard it as 0 but you will still be getting points for it. However, in order to bring the stat back up you must put the amount you took from it back in, which is why the stat is "sacrificial." The most you can put in at a time is 100 points.

Cheat: Level Up Glitch

During the Tainted Blood mission in Ostargar, collect the three Vials of Darkspawn Blood but avoid collecting the Grey Warden Treaties. After you have the vials, talk to Duncan and choose the conversation option "We have the blood, but not the scrolls." The conversation will end and you'll get experience! You can repeat the conversation and get the experience each time -- you can do this all the way up to the level cap at 25 (if you are patient)! You can click through the conversation fairly quickly once you've done it a few times.

Cheat: Cheat List

Alter game files at your own risk and always make backups! Make a shortcut for the file daorigins.exe found in C:\Games\Dragon Age\bin_ship\daorigins.exe or wherever you installed the game and add -enabledeveloperconsole at the end so it looks like this:

C:\Games\Dragon Age\bin_ship\daorigins.exe -enabledeveloperconsole

Then you'll be able to press ~ (or the key above Tab) for the console. Note that you won't see the console but there will be a line of symbols in the upper part of the screen as you type. You might want to press backspace a few times before you start typing just in case. Enter the following codes for the desired effect:

  • runscript addxp X - Adds XP in the amount of X
  • runscript zz_money X - Adds copper in the amount of X (1000 = 1 Gold Piece)
  • runscript pc_immortal - Infinite health (will not drop below 0)
  • runscript zz_addparty NPCname - Add party member by name
  • runscript ai off - Turns off AI
  • runscript selectparty - Party selection screen
  • runscript chargen - Origin screen
  • runscript pc_immortal - Player can't be killed
  • runscript killallhostiles - Kill all enemies
  • runscript zz_addapproval X Y - Add approval to a character
