How to use the command console in Dragon Age 2
For new players trying out the Dragon Age series before the release of Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the command console may be entirely new to you. If you want to set it up, you can follow this step-by-step guide.
Step 1: Create a Shortcut for the Game
Start by making a shortcut to the game’s executable file:
- Locate the game’s executable. Go to your Dragon Age 2 installation folder. By default, it’s in:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Dragon Age 2\bin_ship\DragonAge2.exe - Create a shortcut. Right-click on the
DragonAge2.exefile and select Create Shortcut. You can move this shortcut to your desktop, Start Menu, or anywhere you like for easy access. - Enable the console. Right-click the new shortcut and go to Properties. In the Target field, add
-enabledeveloperconsoleat the end, after the quotation marks. The target field should now look like this:"C:\Program Files (x86)\Dragon Age 2\bin_ship\DragonAge2.exe" -enabledeveloperconsole - Apply and close. Hit Apply, then OK to save your changes.
Step 2: Open the Console In-Game
Now that you’ve enabled the developer console, let’s put it to use:
- Start the game. Always launch the game using the shortcut you created with the
-enabledeveloperconsoleaddition. - Activate the console. In-game, press the
~key on your keyboard to bring up the console. You won’t actually see the console pop up, and you won’t be able to see what you're typing. This is normal. - Enter commands. Type in your command and press Enter. You won’t get a confirmation that the command worked, but the effect will usually be immediate.
