Assuming it doesn't take button presses in its input configuration (where you go to set keys), I assume something like Xpadder would work; it just maps different keys on your keyboard to buttons on your gamepad. A freeware version can be found here, though this copy in particular needs to be run in compatibility mode (right click xpadder.exe, click Properties, click Compatibility tab, check "Run this program in compatibility mode for" and select a Vista or XP option, click Ok and run it). I haven't personally tried this on Win8 but there's no reason it shouldn't work AFAIK.
It can be a bit tricky to set up if you've never used it before, but there are tons of guides out there that should get you started.
There's probably a whole bunch of ready made profiles for Dragon Age. Just have to google them, shouldn't be hard to find.
thanks. but after a half hour of trying, i cant hook it up to dragon age. found out that it doesnt support controlrs.
Were you able to get Xpadder running and map keys to your buttons? It shouldn't matter whether or not a game has any sort of gamepad support when you're basically emulating key presses with the gamepad; the game should just see it as keyboard keys.Quote:

nowerdays lol been doing that for years alot longer than xpadder has been around mostly via joy2keys for olde DOS games but that is old and outdated now and noobs would find it hard to use with it's very very basic gui layout.
Though there are other free options that are just as good as Xpadder, check out http://www.epforums.org/showthread.php?90774 for more info on that
Anyway you can set a pad up to act like a mouse and keyboard so whatever prog you are running may not see the pad itself but if setup to work as a keyboard and/or mouse it will just see the pad as a keyboard/mouse
