Alter game files at your own risk and always make backups! Make a shortcut for the file daorigins.exe found in C:\Games\Dragon Age\bin_ship\daorigins.exe or wherever you installed the game and got to Shortcut Properties. Under Target, add -enabledeveloperconsole at the end so it looks like this:
NOTE: The file location will have quotation marks around it, like this "C:\Games\Dragon Age\bin_ship\daorigins.exe". You need to make sure to add -enabledeveloperconsole AFTER the quotation marks, not inside of them, or the change won't work.
"C:\Games\Dragon Age\bin_ship\daorigins.exe" -enabledeveloperconsole
Now, open the keybindings.ini file found in the game folder (My Documents\BioWare\Dragon Age\Settings\). Find the line OpenConsole_0=Keyboard::Button_X (GRAVE is default, change X to any button, [we recommend ~] that is not already used in the game.)
Then you'll be able to press ~ (or the key you chose above) to open the console. Note that you won't see the console but there will be a line of symbols in the upper part of the screen as you type. You might want to press backspace a few times before you start typing just in case. Enter the following codes for the desired effect:
runscript appearance X - Adds a character appearance modifier X (see below for codes)
runscript addxp X - Adds XP in the amount of X
runscript zz_money X - Adds copper in the amount of X (1000 = 1 Gold Piece)

Dragon Age: Origins -- Awakening Cheat: Level Up Glitch
During the Tainted Blood mission in Ostargar, collect the three Vials of Darkspawn Blood but avoid collecting the Grey Warden Treaties. After you have the vials, talk to Duncan and choose the conversation option "We have the blood, but not the scrolls." The conversation will end and you'll get experience! You can repeat the conversation and get the experience each time -- you can do this all the way up to the level cap at 25 (if you are patient)! You can click through the conversation fairly quickly once you've done it a few times.
(NOTE: This bug was repaired as part of the v1.02 patch for this game. If you want to be able to take advantage of it, do not install the patch.)
Dragon Age: Origins -- Awakening Cheat: Infinite Attributes Glitch
This has only been tested on the original release. A "sacrificial" stat is required -- one you don't need (for a Mage that would be Strength; for a Warrior or Rogue, Magic works). Head to the level up screen and put all of your points into the sacrificial stat. Click Next, then click Previous and then hit Reset. Manually remove the points to the sacrificial stat. You should now have 6 points rather then the 3 you put in. Choose Next a few times and then choose Play to save the changes made. Repeat this process. When the stat turns negative the game will regard it as 0 but you will still be getting points for it. However, in order to bring the stat back up you must put the amount you took from it back in, which is why the stat is "sacrificial." The most you can put in at a time is 100 points.
Dragon Age: Origins -- Awakening Cheat: Blood Dragon Armor Duplication
You'll need a code with your Collector's Edition of the game for the rare Blood Dragon Armor for this cheat. Note: This also works for other Collector's Edition downloadable content -- the tome, helmet etc.
Once you have entered the code and received the first piece of the armor and you have a merchant in your camp area with the rest of the pieces, save your game then go to the Download Content section of the main menu.
Disable the Blood Dragon Armour content (and Collector's Edition content if you have it) and reload your game. It will give you a warning but ignore it and force load the game, immediately save your game and exit to the main menu once more. Enable the things we disabled before and reload your game.
You now have two sets of Blood Dragon Armor! You can repeat this as needed.

Dragon Age: Origins -- Awakening Hint: Unequip for the Win
In the origins stories, be sure to remove all the items of those that accompany you (and leave your party) prior to their departure. You may need to save the gaem more often. You can use these items to sell or equip as needed.
Another example: once you return from the Kokori Wilds, before talking to Duncan, remove all the equipment from Jory and Daveth since they are destined to die.
