Hi there,
it's easy! Download the script in the miscelloneous section of the game, unzip the file and put both files ch2.ncs and ch.ncs in:
My Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\packages\core\data\scripts.
If the folder "Scripts" is not there just create a new one called Scripts. The files in any case must be inside Scripts folder. Then launch the game with daorigins.exe (remember to make a shortcut of this launcher in your desktop) that you can find under:
C:\Programs\Dragon Age\bin_ship\ (or whatever you installed your game)
Becareful.: check, under properties of daorigins.exe (shortcut), you put the command to enable the in-game console. The command is:
-enabledeveloperconsole
and then save.
Once in game push the activation console button that for standard is ~ or \, you will not see the console but it works the same. You can notice the correct working console 'cause the game stop, this means you cannot proceed in the game. Once opened the console write:
runscript ch (or ch2, depends on what scripts you want to use). From here just follow the readme.txt you find in the zip file downloaded.
Hope i 've been a little bit understandable ;-)

Thks T3nkuu, but now indeed I cant do anything, partymember can, and i don't understand how to type in commands, i mean i have had other console cheats but there you see what you're typing.
Here i see nothing and it seem nothing happend if i blindly type in a command

And then: When working .... lol

Do you happen to know what the items in items.txt are, i mean where they stand for f.e. xxx armor heavy etc.

Greetz and thks again

Are you playing with a console like Xbox/PS3 or with the PC version?

I told you.. You will never see the mini pop-up window once the cheat console is activated, but if you try to move your character you notice that you can't move and this means the cheatconsole is activated. Now to write...Just write normally :-) [you don't see either what you are writing so you have to pay attention]I make you an exemple...: I want to add some money ?? ok let's follow:

\ or ~ to open the cheatconsole
runscript zz_money xxx [xxx is the amount of money you want] and push Enter

If you didn't understand again pm me your msn or your skype contact so we can talk more better ;-)

Regards
