So, I realize this may be a terrible thing to ask.  But does anyone ever use console commands like Invincibility (the one where you can't die basically) or other game changing cheat codes?  I for one, have never done it on any "official" play through, which is strange because I went through a lot of trouble to learn how to mod and enable console commands for my DA:O game.  But something told me I would lose stats if I ever used it to beat the game with my "main" character.  So my question is, does anyone ever use Console Commands to just... Play the game as a "god amongst mere men"?

From what I've seen, it's incredibly common for players to console cheat and exploit their way through the campaign. I've never seen the point in it - I like a challenge, and do everything I can to make the game harder rather than easier -  but I think I'm in the minority.

Well-not console commands exactly-but I'll use the infinite gold/duplicate tome exploit to make my Wardens a little stronger. It's one way to fix the slow scaling you have with shapeshifter, at least with strength.I try and do it in moderation though.

I have never played in god mode, but I have used console commands. It's about the only way to get the complete ancient elven armour set, for example. The console is very handy for resolving in game bugs.

Cool thanks

Yup, provided having the ability to teleport instantly from the party camp to Ruck's Cave is considered a 'God-ish' quality. I use the developer console mostly to teleport and jump around when I'm not in the mood to jog or when I'm crafting. I also like to trigger every possible random encounter if I don't get them by endgame in the normal way.

Ah, I have a lot to learn about the game I suppose.

And the good thing is that it is worth it. The more I play and the more I learn, the more fun I have... Off-hand I can think of only one other single-player game with such long-term play value, which is Freelancer. There we had fun beating the game with smaller and smaller ships (one of us even did it with the Rhino, an extremely weak and slow freighter), beating the game as fast as possible, and also killing as many battleships as possible instead of running away from them. KotOR and Morrowind come close, I guess.

Anyway, I used the console with my sword & shield warrior in order to 'respec', to correct a mistake without replaying several dozen hours from a suitable save. Originally I thought it would be a good idea to take Mighty Blow in order to have one more shatter ability, but then I never got around to using it. So I traded that ability for Dual-Weapon Sweep, which allowed my warrior to use the whole Whirlwind line of abilities during the endgame in addition to her sword & board stuff.

Apart from that I haven't used the console in regular games, but Blazomancer's post has made me reconsider that stance... I've never had the Axameter encounter so far, and the one with four shades I've had only once. Blazomancer's trick means that I won't have to miss out on any encounters anymore and I'll probably see a lot less of Old Tegrin to boot.

Where I do use the console heavily is during fact-finding missions, i.e. when I go back to some point in an old game in order to figure stuff out. The console allows me to run scripts - like for measuring enemy stats - without having to make a mod with all the trimmings that would allow to activate the script via a spell or a unique item power.

 

During one such mission I caved in and used runscript killallhostiles in the Bereskarn encounter, to cut short the tedium of going through it with a Lothering-level party of mere mortals (dwarf noble warrior) after having played only solo mages for months.

 

runscript levelparty makes it possible to check out a particular fight at a particular level without jumping through major hoops, like replaying the game with XP-minimising strategies in order to get somewhere with a very low-level character.

Kill all creatures is good if you need to get done in a hurry (for testing purposes). The console is wonderful for adding all those wonderful armors recently available.

I use Skip Fight for getting through combat when I'm testing... it adds a clickable 'Litany of Adralla'-type item that automagically runs "killallhostiles". It can be placed in the toolbar, which saves a lot of time vs opening the console and typing with my fat fat fingers. (Ain't nothing more amusing than taking out the archdemon with just the click of a button.)

 

(To clarify my previous post: I do use the console, often, for adding items from mods and for debugging *grumble grumble stupid Silverite mines cell door grumble grumble*.)

I've been thinking of using consoles to make Mages from different Origin stories.  But I've heard that this may actually change a Character's origin story during actual gameplay.  And apparently Dwarf Mages might crash your game, I'm unsure.  But I play the game on Easy, I am not too great at RPG's like this, at least not yet.  But I haven't used a Console on any of my characters for an actual playthrough, just for testing purposes (Kinda like you guys/gals  ).  

 

Personally I only ever greatly use Consoles in games like Sims 3, to make my Sims rich without having to play for hours (3 or 4 hours usually) and I do so without worry because I know that Sims is a game where you play with Life, and create the world around you.  Dragon Age is a different beast.  I am always tempted, but something just tells me "If you do, you'll never live it down."  Like how I accidently got the Warrior and Mage achievements when I first tested the consoles.  *Sigh* a terrible, terrible thing to do.

There is a mod for any class/origin but I'd recommend sticking with the right race and not doing mages for dwarfs. I use it for CE mages and Noble human mages mostly.

 

I love to use cheats when I want to go on killing sprees or just spread havoc. Skyrim was great for this more so than DAO. DAO NPCs can't be killed which takes the fun out of it. And guards don't chase you through the streets. Now that is where it gets really fun, but I'm kind of deranged like that.

 

Is there a particular reason for playing as a Human/Elf rather than a Dwarf?  Other than canon (no Dwarf Mages except for maybe Dagna in DA: Inquisition)?  And what is the name of that mod if I may ask.

I've used commands many times. But there are two mods I consider a must of which one is awesome to create your own weapons, armors, etc. The Winter Forge for creating items and the other is simply called Utility. That one is basically a point and click cheat mod.
