Refer to the wiki for instructions on enabling the console.

Please note that any use of the debug for purposes not explicitly outlined below will not be supported. Feel free to faff about with it if you wish, but don't come here commenting about it if something breaks.

Siblicide

There used to be a mod by xatmos by the name of Sophie's Choice, which has since been hidden. It allowed you to play the game with the "wrong" twin by tricking the game into thinking Hawke was a different class.
If you wish to kill off one of the twins in the prologue, you can do so by accessing the "Siblicide" option in the twinception debug prior to the ogre encounter, and select wh...

Kirkwall Expanded Quest Guide

Kirkwall Expanded Quest Guide
This article contains walkthroughs of most of the original quests I added to the game.  It does not include any of the fetch quests or any of the "restored" content, as all of those quests should be straightforward, without anything extra or hidden.

Most of these quests are very small and simple, but may have something hidden you overlooked.  Spoilers may be included in these walkthroughs, so if you'd rather figure things out for yourself, don't read. :)

Quick Little Tutorials

Quick item model change tutorial: 
To change an item's model, you'll need something that can edit UTI files. Most common ones are:
--the DAO toolset http://www.datoolset.net/wiki/Main_Page), or at least its GffEditor 
--NWN2gff (https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/7346181-download-link-for-the-nwn2gff-v122-editor)
--TlkEdit (https://neverwintervault.org/project/nwn2/other/tool/2datlkgff-editor-aka-tlkedit2)
You also need the item's UTI.  Most can be found in C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Dragon Age II\packages\core\data\designerresources.RIM.
To extract them, you can use pyGFF (https://www.nexusmods.com/dragonage/mods/4512).

Dragon Age 2 Mage Grandmaster Save (WITH ALL HAWKE'S KEYS FULLY UPGRADED THREE-FOLD):

Dragon Age 2 Mage Grandmaster Save: This save I consider a ‘Grandmaster Save’ in that there is an extreme possibility you won’t need any other save to recuperate any items in the inventory for this save through the editor unto any other saves… I.E.: This might be a ‘Mage’ Character, and it save is set at nearly the very beginning for your enjoyment but it is mostly a save for anyone wishing to import almost every ‘excellent/ high-graded’ conceivable item from the character’s backpack into your own character using gff editor (check online how to do this!!!).I ALSO included every conceivable Hawke’s Keys Combinations you might want/ need (again, you can import these easily through gff editor, albeit the Hawke’s Keys are a DLC add-on, from ‘Legacy’ to be exact...

Locating Vault Bools

When you import an Origins save into DA2, all the plot flags the game cares about are converted to a list of vault bools in your save game. You can view and edit these in pyGFF (editor.exe) by opening savegame.das and expanding 0 -> 16024 -> 17607.



The new vault bools added by this mod start with 57 and will usually (though not always) be at the very bottom of the list.

Changing the Eyes

A few people have asked, so here are two ways to go about it, nothing complicated, I promise. 

Method 1:

This method consists of switching out the eye texture with something more to your taste. There are a few mods on the nexus that have unique eye textures that can be used as replacers, the ones I know of are Eyes of Glass DA2 DAO by Khylian and LOTC s Eye Textures for DA2 by marquiseondore.
