BSN project link (for reference only; site is defunct): Camp Merchant Chest
=======================================
From the BSN upload page:
------------------
|What Is This?|
------------------
Spawns a chest in front of Bodahn Feddic's wagon in the Party Camp. However, unlike a standard storage chest, like that in the Warden's Keep DLC or the Camp Storage Chest mod, this one uses the Merchant UI. This not only provides far more than the (lousy) 100 inventory slots of those chests, but also categories and comparison with currently equipped gear. You know, 'cause it's a merchant.
---------------
|How to Use|
---------------
To stash simply "Sell" items (no, you won't make any money). To retrieve simply "Buy" them back (at no cost, of course). And no, I WON'T be doing anything about it saying "Buy" or "Sell". Not worth all the effort involved with UI hacking (for which you can thank Bioware. Certainly possible, though, seeing as in the console versions of the game, the Warden's Keep storage chest behaves like a merchant. Score one for the consoles). Oh, and I also won't be doing anything about it not sounding like a chest opening either. Sorry.
=======================================
Install as you would any other DAzip mod (with daupdater, DAO-ModManager, or DAModder).
See the screenshots for the location of the chest; it will be right in front of Bodahn's wagon.
Compatible with Camp Storage Chest, MerAnne's Camp Storage, The Magic Box, ScarabMonkey's Gear Racks. See the enclosed text file (a copy/paste of the BSN page for the mod) for more information on compatibility with other mods.
When used with Pheelon's Auto Loot, Camp Merchant Chest (and any other mod-added storage) must be added to the configured exceptions in dragonage.ini. (Other mod-added autoloot functions may also break the Camp Merchant Chest, but I cannot provide any support for those instances.)
I will note that the documentation from old!BSN states that the mod is not compatible with The Winter Forge; however, I've used both mods (Camp Merchant Chest and TWF) together for years, and never experienced any issues.
Adds a storage chest at Bodahn Feddic's wagon in the Party Camp for Dragon Age: Origins. Uses the Merchant UI for categories, gear comparison, and more space than standard chests. A practical convenience mod with 628 endorsements.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 628 endorsements and over 13k downloads.
- Merchant UI means you can sort loot by category and compare stats without opening your inventory.
- Huge capacity beats the tiny Warden's Keep chest for hoarders.
⚠️ Cons
- Only adds a chest at the camp—if you're expecting a full storage overhaul, this is just a convenience.
- Uses the Merchant UI, which might feel clunky if you're used to standard chest menus.
- Potential conflicts with mods that alter the Party Camp area or Bodahn's inventory.
For Dragon Age: Origins players who hate juggling inventory space and want a centralized stash at camp. Perfect for hoarders and completionists who collect every piece of gear. Skip if you rarely use storage or prefer lore-friendly immersion over convenience.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place the mod file in your Dragon Age: Origins 'override' folder (Documents/BioWare/Dragon Age/packages/core/override) to ensure it loads correctly.
- If you use other camp overhaul mods, test the chest location early—Bodahn's wagon area might be moved by other mods.
- Remember to check the chest after major story events; the camp layout can change, but the chest should stay put.
