Dragon Age has always been pro-mod, as evidenced by the release of the first game with Dragon Age Toolkit. This position continued to benefit BioWare's most recent game, Dragon Age: Inquisition.
If you want to play the game now you need to install mods because they make it play like it was released today and improve the experience.
SK hair pack
At the time, Dragon Age: Inquisition had one of the most comprehensive character designs. It's still good today, but it could have been better.
Even if nothing else, this mod allows players to experiment with hairstyles. It's surprising how many players are drawn to creating a unique Inquisitor with a distinctive hairstyle. This adds to the fun of character customization.
Mod: SK Hair Pack
Loot faster
Looting in Inquisition gets tedious after a while. You have to press the joystick every two seconds and then wait for the character to pick up what you have found. Doing it too often ruins the immersion.
Dragon Age: Inquisition's Faster Plunder mod completely eliminates this problem. One of the best Dragon Age: Inquisition mods due to the massive impact it has on immersion and quality of life.
Mod: faster looting

War Table – No Waiting
On paper, waiting for things to end on the war table made sense. Inquisition has so much to do that just sending in troops gives players time to take care of the little things. Although it doesn't really make sense, why would you want to keep players waiting when they just want to get things done? Waiting is never fun, which is why this mod is so useful.
Several War Table Missions take different times for characters to complete and vary depending on the character you select. The War Table – No Waiting mod allows players to complete all missions immediately.
Mod: War Table - No Waiting
More inquisition levels
Game developers need to stop making me choose this or that when upgrading – I want it all! There are 34 perks, but you can only increase Inquisition to 20. Let me save you some time; you can't get everything.
While each perk differs in what it offers, they all enhance gameplay in some way. Inventory size can be increased; waiting times can be reduced, schemas can be added, etc. The mod fixes this error and allows the inquisition level to reach 30, the level needed to unlock all 34 perks.
more jokes
In Dragon Age: Inquisition, your party members will chat with each other while traveling through the core worlds. In some cases, it comes from what you find; in others, it is just chatter. Either way, it still adds depth to each character.
There weren't enough of them in the game, and this mod fixes that. Every 10 to 15 minutes, a randomizer will decide whether or not the group members should joke around.
Mod: No more jokes

Blackwall – Guardian of the North
If you're wondering why Blackwall would hide such a handsome chin and jawline under that exaggerated beard, you're not alone. Take off the beard, and he's quite handsome. Several players care about her appearance as a love interest, so this mod was created.
This one is more of a bonus, but it helps the game a lot. Blackwall's hairstyle can also be changed and remove his beard for a fresher look. You can even make her sport a mohawk.
Mod: Blackwall – Guardian of the North
In my opinion these are the best and will keep the player engaged in the game. Other mods can make the game easier or change the intentions of the developers. If you follow this list, you'll love the game without feeling like it's ruining or cheating the intended experience.
