How to Enable Developer Console in Dragon Age: Inquisition

To use in-game console commands, you must pass the developer console argument through your PC launcher.

1. Open your Steam Library (or EA App).
2. Right-click Dragon Age: Inquisition and select Properties.
3. In the Launch Options text field at the bottom of the General tab, add: -EnableDeveloperConsole
4. Launch the game and load into any save file.
5. Press ~ (Tilde) on your keyboard. A translucent console input bar will appear at the top left of the screen.
6. Type your command and press Enter. Press ~ again to close the console.

How to Fix 30 FPS Locked Cutscenes (Permanent Method)

By default, Dragon Age: Inquisition locks all conversation cameras and story cutscenes to 30 FPS, causing severe stutter on modern 60Hz and 144Hz monitors. You can solve this permanently without retyping the command every boot:

• Method A (Launch Options): Add -GameTime.MaxVariableFps 60 (or 144) alongside -EnableDeveloperConsole directly into your Steam Launch Options with a space between them.
• Method B (user.cfg): Open your game install directory (`steamapps\common\Dragon Age Inquisition\`), create a new text file named user.cfg, add the line GameTime.MaxVariableFps 60, and save.

Pros and Cons of Using Console Tweaks in Dragon Age: Inquisition

Evaluating how Frostbite engine commands enhance your single-player Inquisitor journey.

Advantages & Visual Benefits	Technical Limitations
Eliminates jarring 30 FPS stutter during dramatic dialog and romance scenes. Enables flawless HUD-free screenshot capture of stunning environments. 100% safe: zero risk of disabling Steam or EA App achievements. Permanent automation available via simple user.cfg configuration file.	Does not contain native god mode, infinite gold, or item spawn commands. Setting MaxVariableFps above 60 can occasionally cause physics jitter during taverns. Multiplayer Co-op mode does not support developer console modifications. HUD toggle removes dialog wheel choices until UI is re-enabled.

How to Get God Mode and Unlimited Gold via Cheat Engine

Because BioWare disabled traditional Dragon Age Origins style script commands (`runscript addgold`), PC players utilize verified memory tables for gameplay cheats:

• Fearless Revolution Cheat Table: Download Cheat Engine 7.5 and the verified Dragon Age: Inquisition CT table. Attach to `DragonAgeInquisition.exe` to toggle God Mode, Infinite Mana/Stamina, Unlimited Potions, and Instant Cooldowns.
• Unlimited Gold & Inquisitor Perks: Search your current gold or Influence points in Cheat Engine, purchase an item or claim a perk, scan for the updated value, and edit the memory address directly to 999,999.
• Frosty Mod Manager: For cosmetic armor overrides, faster loot animations, and unlocking all Tier 4 Masterwork schematics, install the open-source Frosty Mod Manager suite.
