What Order Do You Do The DLC's?
I'm starting a modded play through and was wondering what order to do the DLC's. I've done the Grey wardens and the stone golem, but none of the others.

I did Leliana's Story before the main Origins story. Return to Ostagar..after Ostagar and Witch Hunt, Awakening and Darkspawn Chronicles after the main story, in that order.

1. Dragon Age: Origins full game
-The Stone Prisoner DLC has a new party member and a couple quests. Do it whenever, but try to recruit before the Orzammar section (which should be saved for late-game anyway).
-Warden's Keep DLC gives you a questline that rewards you with a small HQ with a helpful vendor and a personal storage (that interestingly may upgrade gear while you keep them in it). Do it whenever comfortable. Some people do it ASAP, some people wait to level a while.
-Return to Ostagar DLC can be done ASAP, but its narrative impact should be left for late-game. If your intention is to recruit Loghain instead of keeping Alistair, then you should save the DLC for after that, and bring him along with Wynne. Otherwise, bring Alistair and Wynne. Obviously, this is assuming you have the relevant characters.

1a. Leliana's Song standalone DLC is best to do at some point after you first meet her and get her personal history story going in Origins. The armor reward in it is applicable to both Origins and Awakening.
1b. Darkspawn Chronicles standalone DLC is an alternate ending of Origins, where you play as the Darkspawn and there is no Warden. It also has a reward applicable to both Origins and Awakening, but I think you should save it until after the first time you've completed Origins normally.

2. Dragon Age: Awakening full expansion
-You can play this with a new 'Orlesian-Warden' character, but it is most interesting when you import your Origins character.

3. Golems of Amgarrak DLC
-You can play this with a new Orlesian-Warden or Origins-Warden, but it is most fitting when you import your Awakening Origins Warden character that you've had from the start.

4. Witch Hunt DLC
-You can play this yadda yadda blah blah. You get the drift. This list is in typical 'chronological' order - this means that Witch Hunt is the more definite ending of the first 'Dragon Age'. So yeah, import your storyline that continued from Golems of Amgarrak.

~~~

For reference for Dragon Age 2 (all DLCs can be done in any Act):

1. Dragon Age 2 full game
-Three acts. The first is rags to riches. The second is riches to heroism. The third is heroism to... well, wait and see.

1a. The Exiled Prince DLC
-Necessary to recruit and start content in Act 1. He has content in all three Acts.

1b. Mark of the Assassin DLC
-I've heard differing opinions on whether this is best for Act 2 or Act 3, but things lean to Act 2, since it has related subject matter.

1c. Legacy DLC
-I've heard differing opinions on when to do this DLC, but things normally lean to Act 3, given the DLC's story-bridging (to Dragon Age: Inqusition) and the content/possibilities in the DLC (your sibling character joining you).

~~~

1. Dragon Age: Inquisition :)))))), launching within weeks...
-Sounds like it'll have an Xbox timed exclusive DLC, but I don't know how big or important it'll be
-They have a whole big DLC/expansion plan, but have not disclosed what it is, and are focusing on just shipping the main game
