To avoid having to read through the pages of other Dragon Age posts, looking for tidbits about possible modifications to this amazing game, I am starting a new post that is dedicated to Mods, your thoughts about them & nothing else.
Dragon Age Nexus - The same folks that brought you the excellent Fallout Nexus, have expanded their site to include Dragon Age. http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/categories.php
The mods I currently have installed:
DAModder - Dragon Age Mod manager. Easily installs/uninstalls mods & keeps track of those you installed, with the ability to backup/restore your characters. while the program seems to be in it's early stages, the stable version ( there is a new Beta version out ) works quite well & I have had no problems with it as of yet.
Better Archery v1-75b - Simply put, it turns the more or less useless "Archery" skill, into a now viable & powerful weapon based skill. The readme is quite in depth & provides a great deal of info about the mods changes. Those of you that feel the game is too easy, even on the Nightmare setting, will like this mod, as it also changes the enemies archery skill, making them now much more deadly. http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=216
No Starting Abilities - Normally, during character creation, the game assigns certain abilities based on your class and background, and then lets you choose a few others on your own. This mod will make it so that you no longer get those automatic abilities. In return you receive more points to spend on what you want. In the end the balance is the same.

Circles Be Gone - This gets rid of the circles under the player's & enemies feet. This adds a lot to immersion. http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=95
Forced Deathblows - This is a quick and simple mod that changes the chances of melee kills becoming "Deathblows", aka those nifty scripted hack-em-up sequences! http://www.dragonagenexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=220
