Allows players and followers to bash open most locked chests and doors (very configurable). This is the real deal, the character will actually attack the object and it will be destroyed with rubble and all (BioWare left some helpful remnants - puns always intended).
There is optionally a chance to break items when bashing chests. The chance of this is configurable, and also modified by "bashing level" - which is determined by Strength for Warriors, Magic for Mages, and Dexterity for Rogues. Bashing level also determines whether the character can bash down a door.
Note, if someone in your party is capable of picking the lock, instead of bashing, they will be commanded to do so automatically. No more having to switch to Leliana or Zevran (just get out of their way).

Open DragonAge.ini, found in:

Most of these options are pretty self explanatory.
- BashNoRequirements will always allow bashing regardless of stats (applies to doors always, but chests only when BashItemBreakChance is set to NONE).
- BashItemBreakChance has four settings, LOW (~20%), MEDIUM (~33%), HIGH (~50%), and NONE. When set to NONE there is no chance of breaking items, however you will instead have to pass a "bash" check, unless BashNoRequirements is also set.
- BashAchievement causes bashing to count towards the lockpick achievement.
- BashSupressSkillMsg disables the "Insufficient Skill" message, however it may break quests (recommended left off).
