These are a few I use... (the first 2 are a necessity)

No looting animation

No dirt build up

Stores (there are many)

Unlock masterwork crafting in Haven

More loot flex crafting

Hair, Eyelashes and complexions

etc....

Spells like mass paralysis... sleep... mana clash (for demons and mage enemies) There are several more... blizzard... etc...

I think one person to ask might be Zola_Weston. She has created a lot of levels. If she is still around??

Anger

I use them all at certain times (except incense of awareness). They really help against some of the harder bosses.

Instead of unlocking the mage for all origins..(which can be buggy) there is one that just works for Dalish elf's. And it works very well.. even in Awakening.

I liked them all.. but I think city elf was my favorite... but then, so was Dalish elf and human noble and........

Poisons.. give him all you have!! Stealth helps if you are a rogue.

"Dill" Elf Archer

I think it is a warriors threat or one of his abilities. Taunt? It is annoying..

Here you go (depending on your preference of creepy critters)

I did not use any mods on my first play-thru.

As far as essential mods, that would be a matter of taste. I would go with all the makeup/hair/complexion mods (But I am a girl)

I never play without the Winter Forge

Storage-Storage-storage (there are lots of storage mods, MerAnne has one of the best ones)

Will you be playing male/female? If playing female.. The Phoenix Armory for Females by Xelte is a must.

Are you a romantic? There are a few romance mods to add more to the game.

I also use RogueLass's mods for special armors and weapons.

These are just a few of my favorites...

I also reinstalled the toolset when I upgraded from Vista to windows 7-64 Ultimate. It had a lot to do with the stupid permissions (in my case). You have to have permission to even create a new folder.. :/ grrrr Microsoft...

Make sure you set the toolset installer to run as administrator and/or change your login to have administrative privileges on everything.

In my registered content/entitlements, they also gave me xbox 360 stuff. I have no xbox They just gave it to everyone regardless of the games you own. And PS3 stuff I can download if I wanted.

I have always started out to play an evil city elf, but end up being a nice person. Same with Dalish.. wanting to be mean, but can't do it

I honestly don't remember.. O_o

When I got my new hard drive and reinstalled DAO.. I had a terrible time with the DLC and entitlements showing up under installed content. They showed in my game..but DAO kept trying to download all of them again..and installation failed every time. I finally figured it out, but can't remember what I did.

Get fsb extractor.. Find the sound banks in your game install folder.. mine is here...C:\Program Files (x86)\Dragon Age\packages\core\audio\sound

extract the ones you want to another folder. There are many music/sound files in each bank file.

I have DAO on disk, and also Awakening on disk (installed). It always asks for the Awakening disk to be in the drive to play DAO. No Ultimate edition here...

Thank you TSM.. I misplaced a couple of these when I got my new harddrive

I talked to Rat in the tavern, I got the quest to find him via forces/Cullen.. then it had no other quest information on what to do next.....but never could find the mission to actually save him. . I read that if you go back to the storm coast before this mission to save him, it will no longer be available. I don't recall going back to the storm coast, but I may have since hours and hours of play, I do not remember everything (especially after a few play-thru's, they get mixed up in my head on who did what). Is there any way to edit a save game to make this quest available again?

TSM, your link takes you to a generic mediafire page (where they want you to sign up). Didn't you have this stuff on Nexus? You also had that helmet mod that removed the face cover..

Merry Christmas!!!!

On my first play-thru, I never ever used Sten. At final battle, he was still in his clothing with no weapon. Punching the Darkspawn with his fists. LOL

Now when I play, I rotate all the characters, dress them up and equip them with weapons.

I was so intimidated by Loghain my first play-thru.. I said all the wrong things and ended up fighting his guards and him in a brawl..

But, now I always side with Anora, do the Crows quest, rescue the two guys in prison, kill Vaughn, give Alfstanna her brothers ring and talk to Bann whats'his'name about his son Oswyn. Even if I betray Anora later, she is on our side to start with
