Dev Console - add item

Hmm interesting.

For Origins, I never had to use the Uti extension.

And the console seemed to work just fine.

However, with DA2 the commands are basically given me the finger.

Example: I'll type in: runscript additem gen_im_cns_pot_health_01 20

And then Enter.

OK. Nothing.

Let's try:

runscript additem gen_im_cns_pot_health_01.uti 20

Still nothing.

Then of course I try all sorts of combinations.

Without the additem, lower amount, higher amount, etc etc.

Yeah! I normally run around and collect every potion possible. And I could make some sure, but I was hoping to just use the command. Apparently not.  LOL!

Yeah, uh Tallis.

I think a wet paper bag can last longer in combat then she can.



Oh and how rude of me, thank you for your assistance. I guess when it comes to issues with DA games I ended up being the one who gets the weird and unexplained bullshit. Lovely.

There is a mod called Waddi which allows you to add items. Is this what you need? www.nexusmods.com/dragonage2/mods/3854

Sadly the additem.erf lived only on BSN, and as far as I am aware is now impossible to get, unless there is some way to track down the original author.

Not sure if it's any help, or use, but if you're struggling for gold to the extent that you need to use console commands there's a mod called 'Valuable Junk' that does exactly as the name suggests, and is also far less hassle than spawning it in from the console, as well as feeling a bit less 'cheaty'.

I'd still recommend elfroot potions as the way forward when it comes to healing pots.

Talis, like all D.W Rogues is very vulnerable to direct spell effects, and AOE damage. She's certainly very squishy for the Sky Horror fight, however for general combat giving her a big enough defense bonus will ensure that she rarely-if-ever gets hit as she'll simply dodge and parry most normal attacks. Her role as a kind of pseudo ranged attacker with melee capability also helps keep her alive against most boss fights, as long as you are careful.

I like to take a Maker's Sigh potion along with me to the Chateau and immediately respec her, giving her 15 Constitution, 15 Stamina 40 cunning, and the rest dumped into dexterity. The high defense bonus from cunning generally keeps her from being hit too often. I'll also save any rings, belts and amulets that give bonuses to defense and critical strike for her. After that put all ability points into her specialist tree, and also make sure she has the basics from the DW tree, Twin Fangs being the most important. She'll also need Precision plus the upgrades from the Specialist tree and Blindside from the Scoundrel tree. Any other points can be put into whatever you think is fun. Miasmic Flask is useful, as is Back to Back and Stealth, but there's plenty of other options as long as the 'bread and butter' build is complete.
