📋 About This Mod

This is a promising attempt to emulate Dragon Age: Origin's Xbox 360 controls for PC. Due to the unique PC interface, "virtually" seamless improvements were made. An external program, reWASD, is required in order to implement this

Updated to Version 3. 1 - Details in breakdowns below

I'm one of those gamers who does not particularly enjoy the typical mouse and keyboard setup for most games. I'm also extremely accustomed to playing Dragon Age on consoles. Wanting to dive back into Dragon Age, with the addition of mods, I decided I'd find a way to make a controller work, as fluidly as possible, with the PC version of the game... Ambitious, I know...

To make a long story not quite as lengthy: After a several hours, I managed to put together a reWASD configuration which stays true to the console controls, as much as possible, while maintaining an effective game-play experience for the PC interface. I'm confident enough in the current build to release it to the modding community. There may or may not be updates to the file in the future. That'll be entirely dependent on how well the configuration holds up through a full play through. I welcome input from anyone bold enough to try this controller configuration out.

Requirements:

reWASD - This is NOT optional

I wish I had known about this program years ago. It's not free, but it shouldn't bankrupt you. At the time I was posting this, reWASD's  core program was going for $6. 00 and it was only $19. 99 for the complete bundle. I splurged on the whole kit-n-kaboodle in order to construct this configuration. If you're not sure you want to spend the money, luckily, there is a free trial available so you can test it out first. I don't know if you need to purchase all the modules I used in order to implement this configuration. At the very least, you will be unable to make certain edits/changes to the config if you're lacking a required module.

Once reWASD is installed, download my zip file. Unzip and place the controller configuration file into your config folder location. Its default installation directory should be something like this: C:\Users\Public\Documents\reWASD\Profiles\Dragon Age Origins\Controller. You may need to create the Dragon Age Origins Profile if you don't have one already. Here's a direct link to my controller configuration through reWASD if you want to streamline the download. If you do use this method, don't forget to download from here as well if you find it endorsement worthy. Many thanks!

The following is an in depth breakdown of the controller setup:
