I was hoping I could find a way to open the Exiled Prince DLC, and throw in additional content to piggyback into the game; hopefully lead to a way to add another character that way. Unfortunately, I just tried and no software seems able to access the file contents from the DLC.
It may sound like a silly idea to try, but back in Origins I had managed to access the content for Stone Prisoner and was able to piggyback mods onto Xbox through it - really made the game exciting to have PC mods on it.
Looks like I'm stuck on ideas unless anyone else has any? At least we were able to add one other character to the party 
Do you have a link to how you were able to do that for Origins? Was there any limit to which mods you could piggyback on? Sorry to go a little OT, but I'm mad curious.
It was originally posted on Dragon Age Nexus by someone I was working with on figuring it out, but I don't know if he kept it up there.
The basic idea though was to copy over the DLC onto a USB drive, and then use Horizon 360 to extract the data (Modio never seemed to work oddly). Once the data is extracted, you'll notice the folder paths are similar to how you install files associated with mods in DA:O. We just dropped files in for mods we wanted, and most of the time they worked fine.
Texture mods never worked unfortunately. However, we were able to make mods work that added new skills/techniques and specializations.
A few quest and character mods were also able to work. For instance, I was able to at one point get the first version of the Ser Gilmore mod to work - I stopped playing DA:O by the time updates came out for it.
After they made the last update for the game, some of them stopped working, so there's no guarantee it'll still work. Just depends on which mods you try to use. Definitely stay clear of texture mods - they tended to crash the game.
