Hi guys, this probably isn't quite the right place - I tried posting on the Steam forums, but they seem to be down for me at the moment. Anyway, I bought the Ultimate Edition off of Steam, and want to have all the party with me at once, so I don't miss out on their dialogue. So, I'm trying to enable the console using the command -enabledeveloperconsole on the Dragon Age launch options, but it doesn't seem to work as I can still move when I press the ` key. Also, in KeyBindings, it says the console button is Button_Grave. What is that? And what should I change it to?
Thanks in advance.

"Grave" is the name of the ` mark, and it's on the same key as the tilde, which is what most people call the button (rather than grave)
I'm having the same problem, though. I've set the launch options to -enabledeveloperconsole but pressing that key in game does nothing. I know you're not expected to see anything on screen when the console is open, but I can still move around like you.. the console is clearly not opening.

same issue, looked everywhere. I've tried about 5 different ways of getting this to work and no luck. One thing I noticed is even starting the game from the DAOrigins.exe directly does nothing different than what steam "Play" option does, it still starts the DA launcher/config rather than opening the game. With that said, I tried adding the command line parameter to a shortcut to that .exe, run as admin, nada. Same with using the "launch options" way of doing it, nada.
There are 100 reasons I love steam, 100 reasons I hate steam - this is one of the reasons I hate it. They make everything so f'ing complicated for no reason. Hopefully this will be answered soon.

also to note, I noticed in my KeyBindings file my openconsole was set to unassigned. This is because I was using grave/tilde to select all party members. Apparently if you use tilde for anything typical in the game it is unassigned in the shadows from open console.
With that said... I reset it to Keyboard::Button_Grave and it still does not work with any method I've tried be it a shortcut with target line parameter or steam's launch options. All I wanted was a skill point for lockpicking...

I had issues for this as well. I ran across this on the steampowered forums.
[Install Folder]\\steam\\steamapps\\common\\dragon age ultimate edition\\data\\DAorginslauncher.xml
Edit DAorginslauncher.xml and go to line 183 it should look like this:
condition name="FirstRunCheck" type="FileExist" file="${USERDATA_DIR}\\SystemInformation.xml">
<true action="execute" file="${BINARIES_DIR}\\DAOrigins.exe" path="${BINARIES_DIR}" autoquit="true" />
<false action="execute" file="${BINARIES_DIR}\\DAOriginsConfig.exe" path="${BINARIES_DIR}"
arguments="-p -c "${BINARIES_DIR}\\DAOrigins.exe" -f "${EXE_DIR}\\DAOriginsLauncher.exe""
autoquit="true" />
Add the line arguments="-enabledeveloperconsole;" following the path command and before the autoquit command, like this:
condition name="FirstRunCheck" type="FileExist" file="${USERDATA_DIR}\\SystemInformation.xml">
<true action="execute" file="${BINARIES_DIR}\\DAOrigins.exe" path="${BINARIES_DIR}" arguments="-enabledeveloperconsole;" autoquit="true" />
<false action="execute" file="${BINARIES_DIR}\\DAOriginsConfig.exe" path="${BINARIES_DIR}"
arguments="-p -c "${BINARIES_DIR}\\DAOrigins.exe" -f "${EXE_DIR}\\DAOriginsLauncher.exe""
autoquit="true" />
You then just hit the ~ key while in game to access the console.
This workded like a charm for me.
NOTE: You will not actually see the console. You will know that the console is up if you cannot move or click on antying in game. You should backspace a few times to make sure that your command line is clear and then you input the desired code. Make sure that you input it correctly as you will not be able to see what you are typing.
Good luck and have fun!

Hi, I've been trying to get the console to work since I installed this and nothing seems to work, I tried the above method and get an error message about "required white space is missing" when I go to run the game. This is what it looks like right now, I tried with and without spaces around the inserted text.
<condition name="FirstRunCheck" type="FileExist" file="${USERDATA_DIR}\\SystemInformation.xml">
<true action="execute" file="${BINARIES_DIR}\\DAOrigins.exe" path="${BINARIES_DIR}" arguments="-enabledeveloperconsole; autoquit="true" />
<false action="execute" file="${BINARIES_DIR}\\DAOriginsConfig.exe" path="${BINARIES_DIR}"
arguments="-p -c "${BINARIES_DIR}\\DAOrigins.exe" -f "${EXE_DIR}\\DAOriginsLauncher.exe""
autoquit="true" />
<condition name="FirstRunCheck" type="FileExist" file="${USERDATA_DIR}\\SystemInformation.xml">
<true action="execute" file="${BINARIES_DIR}\\DAOrigins.exe" path="${BINARIES_DIR}" arguments="-enabledeveloperconsole; autoquit="true" />
<false action="execute" file="${BINARIES_DIR}\\DAOriginsConfig.exe" path="${BINARIES_DIR}"
arguments="-p -c "${BINARIES_DIR}\\DAOrigins.exe" -f "${EXE_DIR}\\DAOriginsLauncher.exe""
autoquit="true" />

you have
arguments="-enabledeveloperconsole; autoquit="true"
should be
arguments="-enabledeveloperconsole;" autoquit="true"
add the missing quotation mark and see if it works.
arguments="-enabledeveloperconsole; autoquit="true"
should be
arguments="-enabledeveloperconsole;" autoquit="true"
add the missing quotation mark and see if it works.

have there been any known issues that are caused by adding this command line?
