What order to play the campaigns in?

[Ember]

I'm still working on Origins, but after that is done, what order should I do the campaigns in or doesn't it really matter? I just don't want to pick a campaign and be lost because another campaign was meant to be played first.

Thanks!

Origins
Darkspawn C
Awakening
Golems of A
Witch Hunt

The above list is a good one but I still suggest playing Origins first and later the rest of them because you will then feel a lot different once you discover more about Leliana in her own DLC.

First gameplay-wise:
1)Origins Campaign (including the 3 DLCs, Stone Prisoner, Warden's Keep, Return to Ostagar)
2)Leliana's Song (standalone; perhaps part way into Origins; otherwise after it)
3)Darkspawn Chronicles l(standalone)
4)Awakening Campaign (import from Origins)
5)Golems of A (import from Awakening)
6)Witch Hunt (import from Golems)

I think:
Awakening imports from Origins.
Golems imports from Awakening or Origins.
Witch Hunt imports from Origins, Awakening, or Golems.
So obviously this indicates the order you should do them..

Awakening-onward can actually its its own character, the 'Orlesian-Warden', but best-canon-wise would be to bring your Origins original character and do the whole journey with them :)

Timeline-wise:
1)Leliana's Song
2)Origins
3)Awakening
4)Golems
5)Witch Hunt

With Dawkspawn Chronicles as its own fun 'what if' story.

You play a darkspawn leader with darkspawn followers and fight at Denerim against the heroes to stop them from killing the Archdemon.

I didn't even know there was a name of Barkspawn

Darkspawn Chronicles, however, is one of the most screwed over Bioware flawes that was done for DA Origins, the Archdemon is to near half or 40% Health, along with the Heroes having quite a good setup already, along with the damn broken Ogre ai's, overall, Bioware messed up this DLC with plain obvious unfair game setup more than Valve permitted to buff up the Pyro right after getting a new damn update for the class.

Barkspawn is a easter egg reference to a penny arcade comic [www.penny-arcade.com]

in case anyone wants to view it
