Dragon Age: Origins - Awakening Message Board  

There are some mods worth trying. For example "Quest & Legends" with this mod you get to order your own ship, new abilities by reading new ability tomes.

For instances you can be a rogue + mage + warrior. Plus, you will gain new skills like "trowing daggers" and new bags for storing portions etc. New maps and quest across the "waking sea".

The best part is that you will get a new character apart from the original gang. Well good luck and happy adventuring to all DA fans.
