- Showing that the expansion is worth buying is the little argument Anders and Oghren can have. They mock and hurl insults at each other, eventually culminating in this moment:Oghren: (in a mockery of Anders' accent) 'Oh no, big templar man! What are you going to do with that sword?'Oghren: Don't play with fire unless you wanna get burned, son.
- The 'Can I have a pony?' conversation with Oghren.Warden: I bet you can't tell me what you just said.
- The follow-up — Oghren's reaction when the Warden gives him the Toy Horse gift and reminds him of his request — is also funny as well as rather sweet.
- If you have the Toy Horse with you, you can give it to him then and there instead of waiting for a follow-up.
- The follow-up — Oghren's reaction when the Warden gives him the Toy Horse gift and reminds him of his request — is also funny as well as rather sweet.
- And let's not forget Oghren's Joining. First he asks why the goblet is so small, then drinks it. What tops the scene off is that you don't get the creepy whispering scene like with yourself and other people, he just smacks his lips and says it's not bad.
- Varel's reactions are hilarious as well.
- Later on, when he complains that he's gotten a strange green rash and wonders if it was something to do with the Joining, the Warden can suggest that's because you're not supposed to drink the whole goblet.

- After some time, Oghren gets a visit from Felsi, and gives some insight as to why he joined the Wardens.Oghren: Oh c'mon, didn't you say it would be... hot?Warden: I'm not listening!
- The Warden can speak with Anders about why the Templars want to catch him so badly. Anders comes up with the excuse that the Templars think he's a blood mage or something. However, if Anders is made to choose Blood Magic as a specialization, the Warden can then point out that Anders does have a reason to be chased. Anders will laugh and reply, 'Well, the irony is not lost on me.'
- This conversation with Oghren.
- Oghren starts poking fun at Anders' robe. Anders calmly explains that the robes are functional in the, ahem, tightly regulated confines of a Circle Tower. You and a 'friend' can slip off into a quiet corner and, ahem, take care of business without the Templars noticing, and then get back to your routine, with none of the fuss of pants and belts. The icing on the cake is Oghren's 'Really?' response.
- Oghren's increasingly frustrated attempts to get Justice to tell him if... everything works. It gets to the point where he starts screaming in frustration.
- In one triggered party talk, Oghren wants to talk about his darkspawn dreams.Oghren: Hespith screamed and a thousand darkspawn burst from her! Then the darkspawn surrounded me and started talking. Asking me if I would like lemon in my tea, could I please teach them to read and write, and one of them kept repeating, 'Where's the baby?' And that's when I woke up.
- This precious party-banter gem if you have Nathaniel and Anders in your party:Anders: So you're a Howe?Anders: Hey, now, I'm quite fond of the Howes. (beat) I'm also fond of the Whys, the Whos and the Whats!Anders: It's shameful how long it took me to come up with that.
- When Oghren is talking about beginning the Joining.Oghren: Now where's the big cup? I'll gargle and spit.Oghren: (laughs) That's what I always say.
- During the quest 'A Daughter Ransomed', if you are playing the same character from Origins then one of the conversation options is to tell the band of kidnappers that you are the hero of Ferelden who has spilled the blood of countless foes already. Cue a dozen kidnappers soiling their smallclothes. Some of them run off to the side, a few jump off a cliff to escape you.
- The persuasion route has the Warden conning them into handing over the girl before they will agree to hand over the money, then pointing out their stupidity since they've just handed over their only bargaining chip. Oops. Doubles as a moment of awesome.
- Anders' comment when approaching the chasm at Knotwood Hills: 'Ooh, it's an unstable crumbling chasm! Let's go play in it!'
- Even funnier, that line is also a stealth Call-Back to a similar line in Mass Effect: 'Who votes we take the vehicle into the creepy underground tunnel?'
- Velanna flipping her shit when Nathaniel calls her ears 'clownish'.
- Nathaniel is a wellspring of perfect deadpan comedy, particularly in his apparent campaign to drive Velanna up the walls (which may or may not also be his way of flirting with her). For instance:Velanna: I am simply wondering how your kind can call yourselves 'nobles.' It seems ironic.Nathaniel: We like irony. And it rolls off the tongue better than 'oppressors.'Nathaniel: Not I. I wouldn't dare lighten your mood, my lady.
- And later:Velanna: You asked me if I believed that my ancestors were once immortal.Nathaniel: And where in that question was it implied that I believed otherwise?Velanna: Then you do believe the elves were immortal.Velanna: You... are... exasperating.
- And later:
- The following moment unfolds over five banter sequences: Oghren feeds Velanna a story about how dwarves are born from rocks - gray-streaked ones are boys, pink ones are girls. Velanna actually asks Sigrun if it's true, much to Sigrun's amusement. Sigrun then admits to Oghren that it was Actually Pretty Funny ('She was huffing like a constipated bronto!') Not to be outdone, Velanna gets her own back by giving a hungover Oghren a 'remedy' that turns out to be a Hideous Hangover Cure
- Queen Anora, Anders, and Ser Rylock out in front of Vigil's Keep:Rylock: Your Majesty, beware! This man is a dangerous criminal!Anders: She means me.
- King Alistair, meanwhile, thinks Rylock's talking about Oghren. 'Oh, the dwarf's a bit of an arse, but I wouldn't say...'
- Sigrun attempts to get Anders to demonstrate his magic by destroying a random bush. 'Because it's there! It's an evil bush!' He counteroffers to entertain her with his Spicy Shimmy.
- If you attempt to unlock a chest with insufficient Lockpicking skill, and Sigrun is in your party, she'll groan and mutter, 'Fail.'
- Most of the childish pranks conducted during the 'Blight Orfans' questline, a fake children's charity that is (not so) secretly orchestrated by the drunk patrons of the Crown and Lion tavern.
- Segues into a Heartwarming Moment when, if Amaranthine was saved, one of the epilogues reveals the leader of the group had a Heel–Face Turn and decided to actually make it into a real charity.
- While this goes for pretty much the entire game, there's nothing quite like busting out of the Architect's dungeon and battling your way out of the silverite mine...while wearing no armor or clothing of any sort. You want to take the Warden-Commander's equipment? You're just going to wind up with a naked man (or woman) slaughtering their way out of your headquarters.
- Calling Velanna out on her Hair-Trigger Temper.Velanna: You make me out to be some kind of shrill harpy!The Warden: My mistake. Yelling is clearly out of character for you.
- A lot of the party dialogue when speaking to The Mother, but especially the following.The Mother: Ahh, but perhaps The Warden would like to hear how it was that The Father began the blight. You want the source of the Archdemon? The one who brought all our kind to the surface? (Indicates The Architect.) HERE HE IS!Anders: Ouch. Score one for The Mother, huh?
- If you play as an imported male human Noble, during Nathaniel's quest, his sister will say that her father wanted to marry her to 'that stuck up Cousland'. All of your reactions are some variations I'm Standing Right Here.
- After several banters of sexual harassment, Sigrun gets fed up and calls Oghren's bluff.Sigrun: Fine, Oghren. You win. Take me. Take me now.Sigrun: Why the hesitation? I want a big helping of that secret recipe of Oghren's. Served hot.

I will be continuing to edit this thread to add new mods as I find and try them out. Mods added more than a week after the original post will be indicated like this.
Important programs:
Mod Manager and DAModder for installing DAZips
ModWrangler - For Mac. Thanks /u/diskarte!
![Dragon age origins wikia Dragon age origins wikia](https://staticdelivery.nexusmods.com/mods/140/images/thumbnails/861-1-1269303520.jpg)
Game Play and Environment:
Improved Atmosphere - Thanks /u/cirion5! Important Note: Imrpoved Atmosphere can sometimes cause missing thumbnails. The fix for that can be found here. Thanks to /u/Ganrao for pointing this out.
Dragon Age Redesigned – Adds a lot of environmental changes, and updates some of the weirder faces in the game, as well as makes small changes to more accurately reflect events and dialogue. Several variants available.
Character Respecialization - Adds a raven to most areas with free respec potions.
Lock Bash - Bash through locks on chests and doors you can't pick.
No Helmet Hack - Hide helmets for your party.
Beyond Ferelden Chest - A storage chest for your party camp.
Sleeping Tent – A tent for your Warden in camp. Note: This appears to spawn in the same location as the chest, which render one or both unusable. I would pick and choose between this mod and the Beyond Ferelden Chest.
Skip the Fade - Gives you all the same stat points, etc. All you have to do is run through the companion and final cutscenes/fights.
Forced Deathblows - Because deathblows are awesome. Can also be used to turn off deathblows almost completely.
Auto-Loot - Screw the dialogue box.
Awakening in the OC - Adds the essential features of Awakening to the base game. I would not recommend this for beginners. It's very easy to mess up your game and likely has a slough of comparability issues.
Sleep Until Dawn - Lets your Warden go to bed (including some interaction with your love interest), and creates a Dawn state for camp.
Beat the Hell out of Howe - For all your Human Noble vengeance needs.
Game Fixes (There are many, but these are the ones I use):
Dialogue Tweaks - Fixes some dialogue options that are slightly not contextually appropriate and adds in responses that should really be in the game, fixes some references.
Two Spec Sten - Because he somehow only gets one Specialization point.
MADD Gift Guide - Adds a notation of the intended companion for preferred gifts. Be warned: it spoils the identity of the Mystery Companion if you've never finished the game before.
Make Console Commands Visible - Some mods and game bug fixes require you to type things into the console, but the console is naturally invisible, which causes some problems. This will let you see the console text. Make sure you also grab the linked fonts.erf file.
Advanced Tactics - Fixes and deepens the tactics system.
Combat Tweaks - Smooths out skills and makes them balanced. Makes some of the more terrible skills actually useful.
White Teeth - Because some of the teeth textures are really distracting.
Symmetrical Massive Armor - This mod was actually made by our very own /u/svk151! Lets you pick one shoulder style and one glove style for the Massive armor.
Effects Handler - Includes quite a few handy tweaks and removes effects out of combat.
Extended Gameplay:
Baldur's Gate II Redux - Irenicus' Dungeon from Baldur's Gate II. Huge, amazing mod.
Alley of Murders - 'Experience the dangerous underbelly of Denerim's streets by investigating a series of murders that will see you battle thieves, murderers, darkspawn and more.'
Dark Times - Act I - 'A search for a cure to the eventual death sentence that comes as a result of the Joining leads the Grey Warden to the Confederacy of Malkuth, a loose collection of city states which exists south of Ferelden, beyond the Uncharted Territories.' NOTE: This is a torrent file, you will need a program to open it, such as uTorrent. Look for the required file under the 'Files' tab, labeled Torrent Dark Times Act One v1_07.rar
Quests and Legends (Thanks /u/Shabutaro!) - HUGE game extension, and apparently extremely well done, including full voice acting.
Create A Character Enhancement:
Vibrant Colors - Adds a ton more colors for hairstyles and eyes, as well as a bright white tattoo color that kinda glows.
Tucked Hair - Most vanilla hairstyles, now tucked behind the ears.
LOTC Hairstyle Collection - You can see some images under 'discussions.'
Armor:
The Phoenix Armory for Females - Has some game-breaking stats and are available extremely early on, but it has three levels of stats (including a very limited set available at Ostagar). And, they're lovely. Females only.
Dusk Mage Robes - Again, game-breaking stats, though there is a version with milder stats, they're still pretty over powered.
Ivory Tower and Nightfall Bloom - For your Arcane Warrior.
Underworld Armory - Adds some more armors to the game, armor models originally from an Oblivion mod.
Wings of Velvet Mage Robes - Thanks /u/cirion5!
HSLI Sexy Mage Robes (NSFW) - These are not lore friendly, but some people really like these, and they are very well animated.
HSLI Sexy Outfits (Semi-NSFW) - More lore friendly (but not by much).
HSLI Revenant Armor - Allows you to wear Revenant Armor. Semi-NSFW version available.
HSLI Darkspawn Armor - Allows you to wear Darkspawn armor. SFW.
Companion and NPC Appearance Tweaks (there are MANY but these are my favorites):
Sacred Ashes Companions - Updates Morrigan, Leliana, and/or Sten to more closely resemble their appearance in the Sacred Ashes trailer.
Morrigan Sacred Ashes Robes - Replaces Morrigan's armor with her kickass trailer armor. Especially useful if you're not a fan of her vanilla, cleavage-heavy robes, but want to keep her looking unique.
DA2 Flemeth and Isabela in DA:O - If you are bothered by the huge redesign they did on these characters but prefer the DA2 models, or just want some consistency.
Armor of the Devout - New armor specific to Leliana available at the site of Andraste's Ashes, with an extra, similar set for Zevran or your rogue PC.
Armor of the Sten - Special armor for Sten, found in Lothering.
Tranquil Tattoos - Replicates the forehead tattoos present on Tranquil mages in DAII.
DA2 Style Qunari in DA:O - Works on Sten, too.
Grey Wardens of Ferelden - Replaces the armor of every Grey Warden in the game with a class appropriate version of the Grey Warden armor from DA2, and spawns a class-appropriate set in your inventory upon joining the Wardens. It even changes the armor of every warden in the Soldier's Peak DLC. Extremely well done, but as far as I can tell, all the armor is low level. There are also weapons in this mod.
New Companion:
Ser Gilmore NPC - Someone went through and completely fleshed out Ser Gilmore from the Human Noble origin to make him a companion. It's not voiced by the same actor for the rest of the game, but the sheer effort required is amazing.
Ser Gilmore for Awakening is also available. With continuity.
Karmas Origins Companions - Lets you recruit pretty much anyone, ever.
Dog:
Extra Dog Slot - Adds your dog as a permanent, summonable companion, much like in DA2. Makes the game a bit easier.
Dog Gifts Tweak - Dog's approval is pretty much stuck at +100, making gifts useless. This mod makes each gift add stats instead.
Mabari Recolors - Make your best friend fashion forward.
Extended Dog Talents - When you reach a high enough level, you run out of talents for Dog. Now you won't.
Romance Expansions (Note: by romance I don't mean the sex cut scenes, I mean more meaningful interactions and extended story points):
Extended Zevran Romance - Lots of small extended scenes.
Extended Alistair Romance - More small scenes, including a special scene for each origin. Very sweet.
More visible Alistair kiss - Because seriously... his armor is huge.
Cullen Romance Option - A very well done mod, if you wanted to follow up on hitting on Cullen as a mage. Adds a scene when you first see him, when you leave, and during Broken Circle.
Free Love - Allows females to romance Morrigan, though be warned: she will refer to your character with male pronouns, and she will still proposition you for the dark ritual, allowing you to lesbian conceive. Also allows for males to romance Alistair, but again, he will refer to you with female pronouns. This affects party banter, too.
Polygamey - Allows you to romance anyone and everyone (this is all four available romances, if you use the previous mod). No jealousy. Allows the threesome/foursome with Isabela, even if companions aren't hardened.
Alistair's Nightmare - This is a companion mod for Sleep Until Dawn, and requires that mod for this to work. Adds an extremely well done cutscene to the game, triggered after certain conditions are met.
![Chinese dragon robe Chinese dragon robe](http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4143/4941987832_568017a962.jpg)
Romance Expansions continued (Spoilers for ending) (Thanks to /u/ItamiOzanare for formatting help):
Naked people (All links NSFW):
Edited or Extended Sex Scenes (All links NSFW):
Milder Romance Scenes - Yes, these make the sex scenes less explicit.
Many flavors of extended/kinkier sex scenes - Fairly well animated, if you're into that.
Rendezvous at the Tavern - Again this is a lot kinkier. Adds a rather remarkable number of new, fully animated and dialogued sex scenes available at The Pearl.
