Patches

The latest patch is Dragon Age: Origins 1.05. Applying this patch is highly recommended. (Steam users do not need to install the patch.)

Modifications

  • NTCore's 4GB patch allows you to patch your game to support use of up to 4GB of RAM (as opposed to the 2GB it is by default restricted to). You must be running a 64-bit version of Windows to properly use the patch. To patch your game, be sure to install the latest update, backup the executable before patching, run the application, and select your executable.
Steam version isn't compatible. Origin version is compatible.[1]
  • Skip The Fade. In the Mage's Tower quest there is a section called "The Fade", this is known to be an incredibly annoying section as you must perform the actions in it in a specific order. There is no hint to this order and as it is a 'puzzle' section, you often wonder if you are failing to solve the puzzle or are working in the wrong order. This mod skips the annoying bit, gives you the benefits of having done it, and allows you to jump to the more interesting parts.
  • Console font is the file that is often missing from the install data. Install this to make console commands visible.
