Easy Way to Level Up
During the mission Tainted Blood in Ostargar, you are asked to collect three vials of Darkspawn Blood and the Grey Warden Treaties. Collect the three Vials of Darkspawn Blood first before the Treaties and than return to the main camp where you will talk to Duncan. Choose the choice option "We have the blood, but not the scrolls." On exiting the conversation you will collect experience for the mission and can contine to collect experience for this quest by continually talking to Duncan. Once you collect the Treaties you can no longer exploit Duncan for experience. This is an easy way to level up early if you need to.
Attribute Points
The following works with PC patch 1.01a: During level up at the attribute screen first ADD points to the attribute you want to eventually take away from. Then press the "Reset" button. Now you can take away the number of points you added from that attribute and redistribute to a new attribute.
For example; lets say your character has 16 str and 16 dex when you level up. You want to take 3 dex away and add it to str. First add your 3 level up attribute points to dex bringing it to 19. Press the "Reset" button, which brings it down to 16. Now press the left arrow by dex 3 times to bring it down to 13. Now reassign all points to str.
If you want to reassign more than 3 points at a time, first add 3 to an attribute, press the reset button, add 3 three to the same attribute and repeat. Afterward when you press the left arrow by the attribute you'll be able to subtract the total number of points you added.
Ostagar: Extra Backpack
Upon arriving at Ostagar, purchase the Backpack from the Quartermaster. Note: You should have enough money if you collected sell-able items and gear from the beginning storyline. Complete the quest where you and the other recruits enter into the Wilds. Note: Make sure you explore the entire map. Complete the "Joining" ritual and become a Grey Warden. Before going to attend the meeting with Duncan and the King, return to the Quartermaster. There should be another Backpack available at the same price as earlier.
Redcliffe: Possessed Child
Eventually once you reach Redcliffe, there will be an option to enter the boy, aside from killing him and confronting the demon inside of the boy. Do not kill the boy. You will not gain much from his death and most likely your allies will disapprove. Instead, choose the option to enter the boy and let the Blood Mage do his ritual. Once you are inside, talk to the father. Once this is done, you must talk to the child "Possessed" and kill the demon inside him multiple times. Once you reach a certain part where you do not talk to the child, but the demon straightforward, try to converse with her. Conversing with her will get you more than just killing her. She will request that in exchange for her life, and the permission to enter the boy's body again in the near future, she will offer you gifts. One is a new specialization. Another is a certain rare item, armor, or weapon. Finally, is pleasure. Pleasure should not be an option, as it does not give you anything in exchange, not even an intimate scene. Select either the item or the specialization. However if you truly do not want to obtain anything useful, kill her. Killing her alone results in the same experience you would get from killing the boy, not to mention the previous times you have also killed her.
Easy Experience
To get more experience points earlier in the game, as soon as you leave Lothering, go to the city of Denerim. Once there, you will find a building named "Wonders of Thedas". Go inside it and purchase the Archivist's Belt. As long as it is equipped, you will get an experience point boost for everything in your Codex. Books will increase from 50 experience points to 75 experience points.
