Importing Save from Origins?

[Mr.Dog3]

So I'm playing DAO right now, and I want to import my save to the next game. The required save is at Documents/Bioware/Dragon Age/Characters? I'm not sure about the location, that is why I asking you, if I'm correct than I can easily uninstall Origins and the save will remain on my PC at the Docs. folder?

When you start a new game, you won't get the option to import a save file straight away. The game starts with a playable prologue, after which you enter character creation.

In the character creation scene, select Events of Dragon Age Origins, then Import from Origins (Your Save). It may take a while to load. After that, select the character and save file you want to import.

If your save files were in documents/bioware/dragon age/saves then DA2 should import from there automatically. When you start a game, after the imagine spot from Varric, the game will ask you to customize a hawk and a save import. You'll have a choice of a few pre-sets and the option to import a save.

And if I played the Awakening, should I import that save? Does Awakening Save contains all the choices from the Base Game?

The epilogue/boon does not carry over either. Several choices from both Origins and Awakening do carry over to DA2, however. You can see a chart of what choices have what effects here:

As far as Inquisition, it's a little different. Rather than saves carrying over, you create a world state at www.dragonagekeep.com, save it, and then it imports from the Keep website. However, the Keep doesn't import anything from your previous saves, you just set the choices you want.
