Personal opinion and advice:
The system for exiting the city reminded me of the game The Last Remnant, even a little bit of the combat system...
The game makes an excellent impression, captivates from the first time, the complete completion time is ~ 53 hours (with all side quests ~ 80 hours). However, not all quests have been explored yet!
Tips necessary for a complete passage:
If you collect garbage(garbage is not only for sale, there are also quests...), communicate more with the world of the game, you will find much more quests.
There are a lot of options for plot development. Not everything has been explored yet, only one thing is clear - what the answer options are, what the character himself is (this is like a test) - so is the development of the plot.
How to complete the quest "Rumors are a merciful act"
Without completing this quest, you will not be allowed into the story "Expedition to the Deep Paths"
For the quest “Rumors - a merciful act” to become active (an arrow is shown on the map) - go to your house - to the left of the entrance on the table there is a book - there are tasks there, including a merciful act! Select your quest (check the box) - the merciful deed will become active and can be completed and found on the map.
Expedition to the Deep Roads
If you take your sister/brother to the deep paths, then be sure to take Anders with you, otherwise she/he will die. If you do not take your sister/brother, they will not participate in the game and will become the guardians of the Circle.
Location of 3 scrolls:
1st scroll: Torn Shore - not far from the beginning, go down to the very first left dead end.
2nd scroll: Broken Mountain - scroll at the beginning of the location, near the entrance to the zone, go a little and to the left (where the ruins are) - on the left behind the hill.
3rd scroll: Broken Mountain, go up the mountain to the secret lair (marked with a cross on the map), there behind the stone.
After that, we go to the Cloaca and look at the map, there is 1 black cross (Secret Lair).
In some places there are chests that require cunning points.
This is very inconvenient, because... you need to upgrade your character (robber) to the required cunning,
then return to the location with the chest and it turns out that cunning is again lacking!
The fact is that sometimes there are not enough quests to gain the required amount of cunning...
To make the game easier, you need to use cheat codes.
To enter codes, you must turn on the console.How to turn on the console in the game Dragon Age 2 (detailed instructions):
Create a shortcut
Find the file "DragonAge2.exe" (not the one on the desktop)
Go to the game folder: for example "C:\Games\Dragon Age 2\bin_ship\DragonAge2.exe"
Create a shortcut on the desktop. (Shortcut to DragonAge2.exe)
Right-click on the created shortcut - Settings tab (Properties),
in the "Path" field add -enabledeveloperconsole
Make sure there is a space between the last quotes and the added string
(For example: "C:\Games\Dragon Age 2\bin_ship\DragonAge2.exe" -enabledeveloperconsole)
Launch the game with the created shortcut (load the save),
press [~] (tilde) and enter the required cheat code, then press
When entering codes, take into account the keyboard layout (must be English).
After pressing the tilde (~), you will not see any console; enter it blindly.
Enter commands (cheat codes) in English exactly as written.
The commands below are confirmed and should work in all versions of the game:
Runscript addxp X - get X experience
runscript addmoney X - get X copper coins (1000 copper = 1 gold)
runscript pc_immortal - invulnerability mode
runscript healplayer - heal all party members.
runscript wizard - the main character will become a 2nd level magician
runscript rogue - the main character will become a level 2 assassin
runscript warrior - the main character will become a level 2 warrior
Runscript zz_party_addgifts - gifts for group members
runscript zz_upgrade - open the upgrade window
runscript zz_app_debug - settings window for "Friendship/Rivalry" of group members
runscript killallhostiles - kill all enemies in sight
Runscript zz_supercrit player - gives 1000 HP and 1000 sp, 50 strength and 50 agility to your main character.
runscript dbg_setattrib X Y - where X is the number of the characteristic, and Y is the amount of this characteristic, and the maximum for each characteristic is 100 points.
Example:
runscript dbg_setattrib 1 100 - add 100 strength to the character
runscript dbg_setattrib 2 100 - add 100 agility
runscript dbg_setattrib 3 100 - ...
runscript dbg_setattrib 4 100 - add 100 tricks
Cheat codes addxp and dbg_setattrib work for all group members.
Before entering, select the desired character (F1, F2, F3, F4) and enter the cheat code.
In our case, for chests, it is enough to enter
runscript dbg_setattrib 4 50
then click
This code must be entered every time before the chest, because... the characteristic is reset in the new location.
Fans of the popular game Dragon Age 2 sooner or later they encounter various kinds of problems that can arise both during the installation of the game and during the gameplay. If your game Dragon Age 2 does not install, does not start, or freezes, slows down, or a black screen appears, or other problems arise during the game, in particular, Dragon Age 2 does not save, controls do not work or there is no sound in the game, In this article we will take a detailed look at the main causes of problems and errors, as well as how to fix them.
Dragon Age 2 won't install
Dragon Age 2 System Requirements
Before installing Dragon Age 2 on your computer, you should check the system requirements provided by the game developers. Remember that for the game to work correctly, at least the minimum requirements must be met. However, in some cases, even minimal settings may not be enough. In this case, you will either have to abandon the game or increase the performance of your computer.
| Minimum | Featured | |

| RAM: | 2 Gb | 4 Gb |
| Free disk space: | 7 Gb | 7 Gb |
| Download DirectX |
||
Of course, we won’t throw away the game, but we will work on the preliminary settings. In this regard, we will check our PC for compliance with the simplest requirements. So if Dragon Age 2 won't install, let's see if there is enough free space on your hard drive to install the game. The distribution requires free disk space, so a few gigabytes of extra space will not hurt. Also, you should keep in mind that various games require a significant amount of free space, up to 100 GB and above.
Dragon Age 2 installation is blocked by antivirus program
Often, anti-virus programs, in the fight against viruses, protecting our computer from external threats, block numerous processes performed by the operating system for security purposes. Sometimes such security is so strong that it begins to block access not only to viruses, but also to suspend some normal processes, perhaps by mistake, considering them potentially vulnerable. Hence the conclusion: disable your antivirus while installing Dragon Age 2.
Cleaning your computer and rebooting
Sometimes, a simple system reboot can immediately solve many problems that arise both during the installation of games and their subsequent operation. The same applies to various programs and applications. There are many reasons, as already mentioned: the computer is filled with various kinds of garbage, including an overflow of the system cache, the maximum permissible number of simultaneously running processes, among which, perhaps, some are frozen and are not running, but the load on the system is not bad at all. In this case, .
Internet access
During the installation process, some game clients require access to the Internet, providing access to the installation or update server. In this case, it is necessary make sure the Internet is working.
Dragon Age 2 won't launch
Before you look for reasons why Dragon Age 2 won't launch, you need to make sure that the installation of the game itself was successful. Otherwise, if during the installation process on the computer any failures or errors were observed, but at the same time the game was installed, it is still impossible to guarantee the subsequent launch and operation of the game with maximum accuracy. If the game starts, you're lucky. However, what will happen next is unknown.
Reinstalling the game
Surely, many gamers have encountered a situation or, as you might call it, a cause or effect associated with reinstalling a game. That is, if the game installed normally, but does not want to start, reinstalling it can fix the problem. It is unknown what this is connected with, perhaps the antivirus or firewall “ate” some files or something else during installation, but after installing the game again, it becomes fully functional. Thus, delete the game and install it again, paying attention to every detail of the installation. Perhaps at some point the installation program will ask for some files, etc.
Searching for information by error text
Another option, it is not described in this article, but as a little secret that everyone knows about, we will add that an error when starting Dragon Age 2 is usually accompanied by a corresponding system message. So, in this case, it would be true enter the text of such an error in the search, as a result of which you will receive the most detailed answer, and, moreover, concerning this specific error. This is how you will accurately determine the cause and, as a result, find a solution.

Running Dragon Age 2 as administrator
As an alternative, you can run the game as an administrator. That is, in our case, so that run Dragon Age 2 as administrator, you need to right-click on the game shortcut and select Run as administrator. If this method helps solve the problem so that the error does not occur later, set run as administrator by default for this game. To do this, open the Shortcut Properties, in the Compatibility tab, check the box Run this program as administrator.
Game compatibility issue
Another obstacle to running Dragon Age 2 may be the game's incompatibility with your operating system. In this case, still there, in the Shortcut Properties, you need to add a checkbox Run the program in compatibility mode for:, and select the desired OS from the drop-down list.
Availability of .NET Framework libraries
Also, a very serious problem with running Dragon Age 2 is the lack of the .NET Framework library installed on the computer, which ensures the launch and maintains the functionality of almost all programs and applications, including games. This is a prerequisite and Microsoft .NET Framework must be installed. At the same time, you should keep in mind that there are different versions of the .NET Framework library, and therefore the presence of any one of them on your computer cannot sufficiently guarantee the correct operation of the game.
Availability of DirectX
And, of course, perhaps the most important condition, a requirement that is necessary for absolutely all games, including Dragon Age 2, installed DirectX. Without it, no game will work. Currently, almost all distributions that in one way or another require DirectX installed already include this set. Typically, DirectX is automatically installed with the game. However, if it is missing, you need to download and install it. It is not necessary to do this before installing the game, you can do it after installation, but installing DirectX on your computer is a must.
Dragon Age 2 freezes
Video card problem in Dragon Age 2
The reason why many computer games, including Dragon Age 2, freeze is due to the video card not meeting its minimum requirements. For gamers, the video card is the main tool, the main success or disappointment. If your weak video card, then no updates, no drivers, and the like will help you. To achieve maximum effect and enjoy the game, A reasonable remedy would be to think about purchasing a more modern, stronger video card. The downside of this method can be a significant financial investment, since high-quality graphics and gaming at maximum settings are not a cheap pleasure, and buying a good video card can cost a pretty penny.
Installing and updating the video card driver
But don't despair. In order for the game to run more or less well on the computer, you can solve the problem even with a regular average video card; you can configure it, and also check all the necessary computer parameters to ensure a comfortable game. If your video card is more or less modern, then It is mandatory to have the latest drivers. Fortunately, you can download and install them completely free of charge from the manufacturer’s official website. After installing the drivers, as a rule, if you have an AMD or nVidia video card, then special software is downloaded along with them, which is installed on the computer, and thanks to which you can control various game settings.
Dragon Age 2 slows down
Let's return to the problems described above, related, so to speak, to poor installation of the game. If there were any problems, it is quite possible that the game will often cause slowdowns, lags and other errors in the future.
Dragon Age 2 slows down due to unnecessary processes
If the game Dragon Age 2 slows down, you can also check the operating system load. Any game itself requires significant resources to play and work correctly. Dragon Age 2 is no exception. If at the moment, in addition to the game, other processes are running on the system, you need to check them and determine how important they are at the moment. As a quick solution, close all unnecessary processes and leave only the most necessary ones. The main thing here is not to overdo it, otherwise you can close everything in the world so that the computer itself simply stops.

Dragon Age 2 slows down due to weak internet
Another point is Internet access. If the game requires good high-speed Internet, then of course the problem is obvious and, in principle, understandable. Therefore, it is worth thinking about purchasing a more powerful tariff. But there are situations when, even with good internet, Dragon Age 2 slows down. For example, at a certain moment, an update of an application on the computer began, for example, an antivirus, not to mention if movies were downloaded along with the game. Or maybe you watched a video, for example about passing Dragon Age 2, and played the game at the same time!? Thus, anything will slow down here. Decide one thing: either a movie or a game. And if you need both, then at a minimum the computer must have "thermonuclear" properties. Do you understand what we mean!?
Dragon Age 2 how to increase fps
Setting up graphics in Dragon Age 2
High fps or fps is something that is so often lacking in the game. If you are one of such users, then Using maximum graphic settings can greatly affect the FPS of the game and cause various lags, slowdowns, and freezes. On the other hand, If you lower the graphics settings as much as possible, you can significantly increase FPS. By the way, you can control graphics settings not only in the game itself, but also in the software of your video card.
Video card overclocking tools
To significantly increase fps Dragon Age 2 Many users use overclocking tools. There are a lot of them on the Internet and it won’t be difficult to find them. For example, to overclock an nVidia video card, you can use the MSI Afterburner utility.
Low FPS due to overheating
Low FPS in Dragon Age 2 maybe because of CPU overheating, and the video card itself. The above remedies can eliminate this problem, thanks to which you can, for example, set the cooler speed to maximum.
Dragon Age 2 black screen
If it happened that Dragon Age 2 gives a black screen, there is a problem, again, with the video card. Check the availability of drivers, namely, whether they are the latest ones. If the manufacturer has released a newer version, do not be lazy to spend time - update your video card driver.
Dragon Age 2 crashes
If the game Dragon Age 2 crashes on desktop, in this case it is worth checking the correct installation of both the game itself and updates, patches, etc. Perhaps the previous update itself contains certain errors. There is little that depends on the gamer; all questions are up to the game developers. If it is possible to reinstall the received updates, do so. In the worst case, reinstall the game itself.
Dragon Age 2 won't save
Probably the most common reason why Dragon Age 2 won't save, is incorrect path to save game. What does it mean? This means only one thing - many games refuse to work with Cyrillic. If the folder on your computer with game saves has Cyrillic characters in its path, then Dragon Age 2 may give an error when saving. Simply put, use the path to the Dragon Age 2 save folder, only in Latin, without Russian words.
Most problems with saving Dragon Age 2 occur due to the game's incompatibility with the operating system. This fact is most inherent in the Windows 7 operating system, but perhaps also in others.
Dragon Age 2 controls not working
Keyboard or joystick problem
If in Dragon Age 2 controls not working, there are many reasons. For example, if the control buttons do not respond at all, there may be a problem with the controller or keyboard. Check the connection and, if necessary, restart the device. Sometimes, a game restart is required to complete this procedure.
Sticky keys in game
Often, problems with controlling Dragon Age 2 can occur due to sticky keys. When several buttons are pressed simultaneously, the system reacts to this in a unique way. What conclusion can be drawn from this? - use joysticks to play.
Incorrect control settings
At the same time, the problem with the controls may lie in the control settings of Dragon Age 2. Carefully check the control keys and, if necessary, replace them with the ones you need.
Incorrect keyboard layout
Alternatively, you can change keyboard layout. You can do this with a keyboard shortcut Shift + Alt. The fact is that For some reason, controls in some games only work on the English keyboard or vice versa. Experiment.
Dragon Age 2 no sound
Adjusting Volume Settings
There is such an interesting point: if at all, it is understandable, but there are situations when the sound on the computer works, but, for example, in some application, for example in a browser or game, there is no sound. The fact is that the appropriate parameters are not set in the sound card settings. Simply put, if in Dragon Age 2 no sound, necessary Open Volume Options and check all available settings, paying special attention to our game.
Adjusting sound in Dragon Age 2
If there is no such application in the volume settings, but there is still no sound in Dragon Age 2, go to the settings of the game itself. Most likely, the main audio device has been disabled or changed somewhere. And further. Very often, and occurs in almost everyone - The game's sound settings have gone wrong or playback devices not defined. In order to solve the problem, restart the game, and if there is a desire and a little time, for greater confidence, restart the system. In many cases this method helps.
This is a little of what you can do and what to look for if you have problems with Dragon Age 2. There may be something left unsaid, something said incorrectly. If you have any questions about the game, please ask them in the comments. Or, if you have already encountered various kinds of problems and were able to solve them, please share. Perhaps someone is having a similar problem right now, and your solution will help fix the situation. Good luck and have a good game!
Most of the site's users are already playing with all their might. Dragon Age 2, but not everyone enjoys the game to the fullest. For example, owners of single-core processors who are quite comfortable playing other new products in the gaming industry cannot save in Dragon Age 2. And these are not all the known problems of the game.
How can you read in official Russian ReadMe, which comes with the licensed version of the game, there are already some known problems with the game. By the way, has everyone read the ReadMe? If not, you will find a couple of spoilers with information about the problems in the continuation of the news, as well as a link to the full file.
What problems did you have with the game and, most importantly, how did you solve them? Subscribe in the comments. Let's create a technical FAQ for the game together!
When the warrior's Encouragement skill is active, the benefits of long-term modes do not apply correctly to other squad members.
- The description of the magician's spells "Horror" and "Turn to Stone" says that they act against "any enemy" with a 100% probability. It is understood that both “ordinary” and “strong” enemies are equally vulnerable to these spells. However, some enemies are resistant to certain effects, and the resistance does not depend on their rank. For example, ogres (of any rank) cannot be stunned by any ability, so they are naturally resistant to Terror.
- The description of the improvement for the magician's spell "Magic Wall" says that it spreads the effect of "Magic Shield" to other party members. This is true, however, at the same time, the effectiveness of the “Magic Shield” is reduced and the effect on companions turns out to be weaker than usual.
- Varric’s skill “Epithets” is said to increase movement speed. This is not true. The ability does not affect movement speed, but attack speed.
- Secondary penalties from status effects such as STUNNING, FRAGILE and DISORIENTATION (such as lowering enemy defenses) are less than specified in the codex. However, bonuses for cross-class combos (such as extra damage against STUNNED enemies) are awarded as normal.
- In rare cases, character statistics may be distorted. This does not prevent you from progressing through the game, but battles may turn out to be easier or more difficult than planned. For example, Hawk may not be injured after being killed in battle, or his damage resistance may become negative.
- Some features of the Nightmare difficulty level are not described in the game, for example: 1) Attacks made by any of the squad members and hitting more than one target (including attacks by a warrior with a two-handed weapon or a weapon and a shield) cause damage not only to enemies, but and allies.
2) Enemy assassins have a chance to steal potions.
3) When enemy assassins strike while stealthed, the victim's armor is not taken into account.
4) Enemy commanders gain the ability to set a mass of their allies against a specific fighter in the player’s squad.
5) When the health of any of the squad members becomes less than 10%, he begins to bleed, causing damage until the character is healed.
6) Some enemies become completely immune to certain types of damage, for example dragons stop taking damage from fire.
Some side quests do not complete properly if they were left unfinished at the time of the time jump. They remain active in the journal, but they cannot be completed in the new time period. They do not interfere with the game, and you can simply ignore them.
- Sometimes in dialogue, characters' memories of the previous events of Dragon Age II (or Dragon Age: Origins, if you imported a saved game) diverge from reality.
- In the quest “Mad Men Will Not Detour”, it is possible to take the letter before Isabella offers you to do so. In this case, the task is stalled. To complete it, load the game from an earlier save point and don't pick up the letter until Isabella asks you to search the corpses.
- The quest “What Fell from the Cart” cannot be completed if you left the warehouse without finding the box. This does not interfere with the further passage of the game itself.
- When you take on the quest “Who needs saving?”, the initial events of the quest sometimes do not occur. In this case, the task cannot be completed, but this does not prevent the passage of the main storyline of the game.
The game has a rather unpleasant bug, which was not fixed in version 1.01, the bug is associated with a decrease in the attack speed of the GG up to a complete lack of attack in battle (he just stood there and did nothing). The same bug led to a decrease in the GG's resistance to damage to very low negative numbers, which makes him very vulnerable to damage (the simplest enemy will die from this shot).
The bug manifests itself as follows:
After your friendship with Isabella and Sebastian grows to the appearance of the perk of attack acceleration by 5% from Isabella (“keep it up”) and increased resistance to damage from Sebastian (“spiritual person”), then by taking them into the team they can leave it according to some scripted scenes. For example, if Isabella is on a team and approaches the gate to the Qunari “garrison” with her, then she immediately leaves the team, but the perk remains as if she were on the team (and the added 5% attack speed is deducted). Then, when you take Isabella back to the team, the perk will not be added again and 5% of the attack speed will not be added either, but by removing her from the team, 5% of the attack speed will be taken away again. As a result, your attack speed will become -5%. Subsequent scripted “removals” of a companion from the team will only accumulate the effect. Until your character's attack speed becomes -100% and he stops fighting altogether.
The bug does not appear if you yourself remove a companion through the established “stands” for changing teams or when leaving your home.
Solution:
At the moment there are no other ways other than directly editing the save.
Here you need to download this link social.bioware.com:
gff4editor-0.5.4.7z Size: 4.62 MB
Unpack the archive and run daosavegame.exe from it (you don’t need the rest.
Using this program, open the file of your last save made in the game, and by selecting Party -> [name of your GG] in the left tree menu, find in the right list:
1)Damage_Resistance- if less than zero, then set it to zero or a little more. Unfortunately, we don’t know what the parameter should actually be, in theory, as the level increases, depending on what class the character is and the choice of some passive abilities, it should be greater than zero, so bet at your own discretion, but it is unlikely to be greater 20 that's for sure. In principle, put 0 - you won’t be 100% wrong, you just might lose the benefits of some skills, but then hardly anyone will accuse you of “cheating”.
ZY Alternatively, you can look at what you had in older saves.
2) Animation_Speed_Modifier- here 100% should always be 0 for a magician. I don’t know about other classes, perhaps a rogue might have 5-10 or something like that, depending on the development and skills taken (read the descriptions of your taken passive abilities).
Thank you vGhost for the information provided
If you are faced with the fact that Dragon Age II slows down, crashes, Dragon Age II will not start, Dragon Age II will not install, controls do not work in Dragon Age II, there is no sound, errors pop up, saves do not work in Dragon Age II - we offer you the most common ways to solve these problems.
First, check whether your PC's specifications meet the minimum system requirements:
- OS: Windows XP (SP3)/Vista (SP2)/7
- Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8 GHz/AMD Athlon 64 X2 1.8 GHz
- Memory: 1 GB (XP)/1.5 GB (Vista/7)
- Video: 256 MB (NVIDIA GeForce 7900/ATI Radeon HD 2600)
- HDD: 7 GB
- DirectX 9.0c
Be sure to update your video card drivers and other software
Before you remember the worst words and express them towards the developers, do not forget to go to the official website of the manufacturer of your video card and download the latest drivers. Often, drivers specially optimized for them are prepared for the release of games. You can also try installing a later version of drivers if the problem is not solved by installing the current version.
It is important to remember that you should only download the final versions of video cards - try not to use beta versions, as they may have a large number of unfound and unfixed errors.
Do not forget that for stable operation of games, installation of the latest version of DirectX is often required, which can always be downloaded from the official Microsoft website.
Dragon Age II won't launch
Many problems with launching games occur due to incorrect installation. Check if there were any errors during installation, try uninstalling the game and running the installer again, after disabling the antivirus - often files necessary for the game to work are deleted by mistake. It is also important to remember that the path to the folder with the installed game should not contain Cyrillic characters - use only Latin letters and numbers for directory names.
It also doesn’t hurt to check if there is enough space on the HDD for installation. You can try to run the game as Administrator in compatibility mode for different versions of Windows.
Dragon Age II is slow. Low FPS. Lags. Friezes. Freezes
First, install the latest drivers for your video card; this can significantly increase the FPS in the game. Also check your computer's load in the task manager (opened by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+ESCAPE). If before starting the game you see that some process is consuming too many resources, turn off its program or simply end this process from the task manager.
Next, go to the graphics settings in the game. First of all, turn off anti-aliasing and try lowering the post-processing settings. Many of them consume a lot of resources and disabling them will significantly improve performance without significantly affecting the picture quality.
Dragon Age II crashes on desktop
If Dragon Age II often crashes to your desktop slot, try to start solving the problem by reducing the quality of the graphics. It is possible that your computer simply does not have enough performance and the game cannot run correctly. It's also worth checking for updates - most modern games have a system for automatically installing new patches. Check if this option is disabled in the settings.
Black screen in Dragon Age II
More often than not, the problem with a black screen is an issue with the GPU. Check if your video card meets the minimum requirements and install the latest drivers. Sometimes a black screen is a result of insufficient CPU performance.
If everything is fine with the hardware and it meets the minimum requirements, try switching to another window (ALT+TAB), and then returning to the game window.
Dragon Age II won't install. Installation stuck
First of all, check if you have enough HDD space for installation. Remember that for the installation program to work correctly, the stated amount of space is required, plus 1-2 gigabytes of free space on the system disk. In general, remember the rule - there should always be at least 2 gigabytes of free space on the system disk for temporary files. Otherwise, both games and programs may not work correctly or may refuse to start at all.
Installation problems can also occur due to a lack of Internet connection or unstable operation. Also, do not forget to pause the antivirus while installing the game - sometimes it interferes with the correct copying of files or deletes them by mistake, considering them viruses.
Saves not working in Dragon Age II
By analogy with the previous solution, check the availability of free space on the HDD - both on the one where the game is installed and on the system drive. Often save files are stored in a documents folder, which is located separately from the game itself.
Controls not working in Dragon Age II
Sometimes game controls do not work due to multiple input devices being connected at the same time. Try disabling the gamepad or, if for some reason you have two keyboards or mice connected, leave only one pair of devices. If your gamepad does not work, then remember that games are officially supported only by controllers defined as Xbox joysticks. If your controller is detected differently, try using programs that emulate Xbox joysticks (for example, x360ce).
Sound not working in Dragon Age II
Check if the sound works in other programs. After this, check whether the sound is turned off in the game settings and whether the sound playback device to which your speakers or headset is connected is selected there. Next, while the game is running, open the mixer and check if the sound there is muted.
If you are using an external sound card, check for new drivers on the manufacturer's website.
Hello everyone, many of us, decent gamers, still don’t know how to use the console, but through it non-cheating items are added and some modifications are activated.
So let's start explaining. In general, the console launches and works like in Dragon Age Origins, but many people didn’t launch it there either, so I’ll start.
Installation:
To begin with, you need to right-click on your DA2 shortcut, yes, the shortcut from which the game starts and not the launcher, through which you can go to settings and launch the game. It’s easier to create a shortcut by going to the folder with the game installed; by default it’s C:\Program Files\Dragon Age 2\bin_ship, find there Dragon Age2 and create a shortcut for it. See screenshot:
That's it, the shortcut has been created, now move it to the desktop and right-click on properties.
In the Label column in the first line after the original name of the label, be sure to write it separated by a space –enabledeveloperconsole and click ok.
Now you have a console. Load the game and click tilde [~] and enter the text you need. Please note that nothing will be visible, you will have to enter everything blindly. To activate what you entered, you must press Enter. Keep an eye on Punto Switcher if you have one, this program is capable of switching the layout in the game, so it can also affect what you write into the console.
We're done with the installation, now let's move on to the console's capabilities.
Possibilities:
In addition to outright cheating opportunities, which you can see under the spoiler with the proud inscription “Cheats”, the console can help you create a multi-class character, see this also under the “Multi-class” spoiler; also, for example, some modifications of our resource are activated through the console. But unfortunately, a simple console is not enough for this; to activate mods, you need a modification add-on to the console, also known as a patch, which you can download in the Mod Database section. Basically everything. Below, under the spoiler, are the capabilities of the console.
runscript healplayer~ Heal the entire team
runscript injury remparty~ Heals the wounds of the entire squad
runscript injury remall~ Heals the wounds of a specific squad member
runscript addmoney X~ Adds money X, i.e.; 10000 = 1 gold coin.
runscript killallhostiles~ Kill all ragas in the zone (use carefully, as it can damage the experience gain script)
runscript addxp X~Adds experience X - amount
runscript pc_immortal~ Immortality (You lose health, but you don't die)
runscript zz_upgrade~ Opens the enchantment window.
runscript zz_app_debug~ Opens a window for setting the attitude of squad members towards you. (Doesn't work with Sebastian, use zz_seb_debug command for him)
runscript zz_supercrit player~ Adds 1000 Stamina and Health, 50 Agility and Strength for Hawk. (use more carefully, once used the skills will not rise higher)
runscript wizard- Will turn into a 2nd level mage
runscript rogue- Will turn into a level 2 rogue
runscript warrior- Transforms into a level 2 warrior
runscript cheater- All achievements
runscript zz_party_addgifts- Gifts to party members
Window for setting up relationships with companions:
* runscript zz_and_debug - Anders
* runscript zz_mrl_debug - Merrill
* runscript zz_vrc_debug - Varric
* runscript zz_ave_debug - Aveline
* runscript zz_fen_debug - Fenris
* runscript zz_isa_debug - Isabela
* runscript zz_bet_debug - Bethany
* runscript zz_car_debug - Carver
So, after turning on the console (read how to turn it on in the next topic), enter the command “runscript addtelent xxxxxx”, where xxxxxxx is the ability code from the list below. The names are left in English to avoid confusion. Tested on a magician.
The structure of the numbers is simple: the first 3 numbers indicate the branch, the last 3 numbers indicate the ability itself and its upgrades, for example 010 = ability No. 1, 020 = ability No. 2, 021 = 1st upgrade for ability No. 2.
