Now I'm absolutely sure that this is already a topic but I just finished Origins today so that I can play Dragon Age 2. Even though it seems I screwed the dwarves over it will still be cool to see my decisions have repercussions in this game. Also, I know it's weird but I kinda wish I had my character died.. It would have seemed way more heroic.. 

I will. I mean, why wouldn't you?

Ummm I'm not sure I can because I plan on getting DA2 on steam, while I bought the first one at retail.... damn that cloth map.

Indeed I shall. Got two Origins+Awakening+Golems+Witch Hunt overall saves I can import, as well as another couple I just stuck with through Origins only.

" I will. I mean, why wouldn't you? "

I'm working on a "perfect" save file now. Almost finished Awakenings, then it's just a quick run through Golems and Witch DLC and I'm ready for DA2! I did not like how my first play through went, but I might boot  it up later just to see the outcome DA2.

I certainly will. Now it's just a question of completing Witch Hunt and Golems. 
 
I also want to try making an Orlesian Warden in Awakening to see what will happen.

Yep. Working on a human mage right now.

yes i do i want to see the world ands character (especially Anders) 
 
to those that played golems how important is it to the story 

" I will. I mean, why wouldn't you? "

I lost my save when my system died. I have to play through it all over again. So maybe?

Uninstalled ages ago. Not sure if I kept the save around. The directory was still there after the uninstall. But damn, this game is gonna be easy enough without me bringing over loot and shit. Not for nothing, I kinda feel like your choices in the first game will amount to an NPC dwarf in a bar mentioning *insert leader you supported* and that's about it. I'd love to be wrong about that. I'd love for a quest to stop a crazed Golem army to appear based on me not destroying the forge. I just don't see that happening though. And I kind of feel like an early game conversation would allow me to emulate my save choices anyhow.

Yes I will , but my character died on the fight vs the archdemon , so how would I be able to import my character + the Orlesian Warden from awakenings?  Or that doesnt work? :(

It's not related to anything to do with Origins, minus the setting in the Deep Roads. It's a really terrible piece of DLC anyway, with a dull story, forgettable party members and your character barely ever gets to speak. It is difficult, as they pegged to be, but it's mostly from being cheap; such as areas were you'll literally enter a room with around 6 golems, all hurling boulders at you non-stop. The end boss takes forever too.  If you haven't already bought it, you should just leave it be.  "

I thought the idea was interesting. Self aware darkspawn. And their first inclination with self awareness is to wage war on each other. They could do a lot with that. That is kind of more interesting, in theory, than the main game's story. But man, the execution. It needed work. And so many bugs. And zero character development, other than the undead dude sorta. "

" @ryanwho: I actually destroyed the anvil and it still ended up causing some kind of crazy stuff with the dwarves in my epilogue haha. "

Sadly it doesn't. Apparently you had to import your character into Awakening even if he was dead and they would have fixed it in when you imported it in DA2 so it would have shown that your character was dead and all the decisions you made with him were done by the Orlesian Warden instead. Or at least that's what someone at the Bioware forums said.... "

Yeah i would, I would want to see how choices that i made in the first game effect the second game story wise.

If you can download your data off your ea account then yes because I'm probably playing it on a different system.

I unfortunately never had the time to finish DA:O.  Sad day.

They Mass Effect-ed Dragon Age 2...

I didn't even know I could import it.  
 
At this point... it looks like a totally different world anyways... so what's it matter?   *emo tear*

Nay. Played the first game on the PC and will be switching to 360 this time around. Not terribly fussed.

i would, but i have the 360 version of DA:O and i'm getting DA2 on steam. so unless they do a steam sale where i can get DA:O for like 5 bucks ill just have to use the default stuff.
i did the same thing for mass effect and mass effect 2. ME1 on 360 and ME2 on PC.

I'll be importing my first DA:O save on PC. I don't remember many of the choices I made in that playthrough, though, since it was quite a while ago, so it will be nice to see what I did.

I've completely gone off the game. I doubt I'm going to buy it anymore.

Last night I just finished Origins with my dwarf and can not be happier with the decisions i've made in the game. When i was saying congrats and godbye to my party (i did the ritual) I actually felt a little sad and the epilouge text made me really think about what happened. My guy may never actually get to hang out with Allistair again since we don't know what happens in Dragon Age 2. If any of these party members are in DA 2 they better mention my guy. I wanted to find Morrigan too. It'd be nice to know how that turned ou but thats why theres witch hunt. I love this game.

I definitely will be importing my world.  I've been really curious how the decisions about the Father/Mother in Awakening will play out.  That's the one decision that I made that I'm really not sure about.

Yep, interesting to see how much your DAO choices really affect the storyline.

I will, even though I know that, in the end, my choices are going to get the Mass Effect 2 treatment of some name dropping or maybe a cameo appearance. "Hey, I hear Queen Anora/King Alistair in Ferelden is doing a great/horrible job fixing everything over there."

Kind of like in Mass Effect 2, it feels like you have to go out of your way to get your character to end up dead by the end of the game (had to ditch Morrigan and beg Loghain to let me take the last blow). 
 
I'll be importing not one, not two, but three different saves, assuming the second game draws me in enough to want to play through multiple times (and I'm sure it will). Though I also have a feeling not many of those choices will have much or any impact on stuff in DA2. I'd love to be surprised, though. 

I lost all my progress in Origins a while back so no, probably not.

I really don't remember my dragon age playthrough much,   I just know Morrigan had my love child and i want her back!

Of course. I'm very interested in the minor changes that it will make.

Well, sure. I mean, I have the save on my PC, so why wouldn't I?

I'm really excited to import my Dalish Elf story since Hawke gets to meet my Warden's Clan. I'm sure it will be only a sentence or two about my character but its sill cool.

You know, maybe I should've changed the topic to "what would you like to see from your Origins save in DA2?" I think that's what I was going for but ending up coming out the complete wrong way haha. Cause it's pretty obvious that people would want to import their save, so I don't know why I asked that...
