Essential improvements
Patches
The latest patch is Dragon Age: Origins 1.05. Applying this patch is highly recommended (Steam and Origin users do not need to install the patch).
Modifications
- NTCore's 4GB patch allows you to patch the game's executable to let it use up to 4 GB of RAM (as opposed to the default 2 GB limit). 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 and backup the game's executable before patching it.
- Only works with the Origin version.[1]
- Console font is the file that is often missing from the install data. Install this to make console commands visible.
- FtG UI Mod: By default, the game uses a small font that is difficult to read when running the game at a higher resolution. This mod increases the font's size.
- Skip The Fade: In the Broken Circle quest, there is a section called "The Fade". This is known to be a frustrating section, as you must perform complete parts of it in a specific order. This mod skips most of the section, and gives you all the rewards of having completed it.
