Are there any mods, tweaks and/or fixes the community considered "essential?"

 

Currently, I have CT SP, "Fixes and Tweaks that require extending single player module," and "Combat Tweaks" Both by author Dennis Lee, from nexusforums. But I installed these a long time ago, they may be outdated.

 

I also have Respec Addon 1.6 (adds a funky little black raven in camp that allows you to fix mistakes in speccing)

 

But anything else I "should" have?

Just as an example: Pelerine Slip-Knife in Leli's Song, Cleansing Aura never procs. Was this ever fixed?

I played with Zevran Dialogue Fix, IRS:Alistair and Morrigan Restoration Patch which fixes dialogues in the game, and all three can be made to play well with each other with only slight modification.  If you only run one of them though, and don't find Alistair or Morrigan particularly romanceable/likeable, I'd recommend ZDF which fixes a lot of other broken dialogues besides just Zevran's, though Ejoslin focused mostly on Zevran.

 

I'd also recommend Terra Ex's Silverite mines bug (if you like to play Awakenings) since I don't know if Bioware ever patched that horribly game breaking bug.

 

For 'must have's' that was my biggest 4 since they made the game much more playable and fun.

 

There are lots of other cool mods that are fun and add to the game, but I kept it to a minimum the game altering types.  Ser Gilmore added companion mod plays nice with all those I mentioned, but check for incompatibilities if you want that one, as there are several, particularly any that add companions.  I got all kinds of mods to add armor, make the UI more easily read/visible, CC additions like makeup, hair, skin complexions etc (Dracomie who did "Dragon Age Redisigned" has an excellent set of complexions I used in a lot of my mods--though I didn't use his entire mod, just the complexions), extra Dog Slot (which does play nice with Gilmore).  And had many facial mods for NPC's I made in the toolset myself and installed them to my games.

The only mod I use is the one that gives me the ancient elven armor boots in the chantry closet.

I've downloaded the lock bash mod (there's a version for Origins and a separate one for Awakenings), which is really handy to have when you don't have a rogue around. There's a chance that bashing the locks destroys the contents of a chest, which keeps it fair. I was used to lock bashing in Kotor, so I found this mod pretty handy.

I also have the no helmet mod, which isn't really essential but good to have if you're not a fan of helmets.

As has been said above: absolutely download the Silverite mines bug fix if you have Awakenings! I found out the hard way and lost my awesome stuff. That's what I get for not trying to spoil myself with info beforehand :')

Ah, I also forgot I have the "skip the fade" mod. The fade (circle tower quest) was interesting on the first try, but gets so boring after a while. It doesn't skip the most interesting parts (the boss battles, companion dreams) though!

Seconded on DA Redesigned. You should also check out Improved Atmosphere as it makes a lot of interesting changes to the game world from loot to npcs, many of which help to improve the continuity with the DA sequels. I also recommend checking the old BW site for tmp7704's mods, in particular elf update and qunari update as they make the elves and kossiths in game look like their DA2 counterparts.

 

There are a number of fixpacks around but some aren't compatible with other fixpacks. Check the nexus first for those since they are usually more up to date, but I think Qwinn's fix pack might be on the old BW site. I think it is the only one that fixes the 'Of Noble Birth' quest for DNs.

I'm not interested in aesthetics. Only in having broken dialogue and broken items fixed. For instance, items with haste actually making you attack fast rather than slower; items that reduce or increase hostility actually working as advertised; items that boost healing received actually boosting healing received; etc.

Check out Dragon Age Origins Nexus mod site and their 25/50 most popular mods, I use about 30 mods now but that's after many run throughs experimenting...
