Im no expert modder by any measure, but I think I can answer your question. I've played Torchlight myself and found it to be a fun game.. for those who dont know it, Torchlight is very similar in premise to the first Diablo game. Town/Quests/Vendors etc up top, randomly generated dungeon crawl down below. It goes a little beyond the simplicity of the first diablo game, encompassing various "crafting" skills and gameplay mechanics unique to it.
I believe that everything that Torchlight does ( except the random level generation, I dont think DA's engine has any way to do that, short of maybe randomly selecting from a heap pre-made areas to drop the player in, Im sure it could do random creatures generation and treasure and the like though, just not actual levels ) can be done by a dedicated group of modders, you could emulate some of the mechanics, like it's crafting systems, by altering DA's existing ones. It would be quite an involved project though, if you can imagine it to be similar to the complete Torchlight game.
Maybe if you are interested in working on something like this you could start a project or a group and see how much interest there is in the community.

The random armor/weapons would be the best part. maybe the easiest?
